Pros

*It's like a family, everyone is so kind & gets along. *Pay can range from $7-$10..so when it's high, it's a good feeling (only happens when you're the only host) *It's pretty easy, almost too easy actually.

Cons

*You don't have a set schedule. Some days you can work 2 hours or some days you could work 7. Sometimes you can work 3 days, and some 6. *Management pretends to care, but I actually don't see them on the floor a lot. *Tipouts depend on how busy the place is, which it's pretty bad when it's a slow season. *Servers treat you like slaves, expecting you to buss their table, when you only need to get the plates.

Pros

Easy enough...lots of shifts you can pick up...if you want

Cons

LOTS of tourists who arent familiar with tipping....management plays favorites...if they like you , you get the best shifts (money-wise) if they dont..you get screwed..
