Pros

Great way to meet new people! For hosting, $8/hr + tips for delivery's and to-go orders, which can add up so you're bringing anywhere from $10-$40 extra a night just from tips.

Cons

Scheduling gets messed up a lot. Working on days that you schedule off, with out being asked if you are able to work. You have to be a people pleaser constantly. Customer always has to be satisfied.

managers lack education.

Pros

I enjoyed most of the workers I worked with, I enjoyed most of the regulars that came in, too. Decent money, however there were times where I did not make that much money.

Cons

In my opinion, I felt the managers lack education background to running a restaurant or business. I felt this went all the way up to the regional managers.

the company is wonderful but the Duluth location struggles

Pros

Growth potential is great, concept, food quality, and standards are acceptional. The company will only get better because of a recent sale to Craft Works. Really GREAT foundation, just needs improvement in GM standards.

Cons

Anyyone can become a GM thus leading to potential for an undereducated leader. Long hours with the transition but well worth the improvements.
