Pros

True Food Kitchen is a place for unique individuals! Some of my closest friends came as a result of working for this company. We really care about the work that we do, the quality of service we provide for our guest, and the food we serve! Its rare to love and be proud of the food you’re selling as a server and I really do love it.

Cons

The hourly pay really sucks and even though we might make a little more in tips due to the food prices, its still not guaranteed because there is no automatic gratuity or suggested tip provided to our guest so we get a lot of 10% tips ,which don't pay the bills
