Pros

If you like handwriting orders and calling them out and hoping that the cook marked what you said correctly then you will probably like this job. Small space working environment also means everything is close by. There are a lot of regulars and it's usually nice to get to know them and see familiar faces. You get an employee meal each shift. The higher ups were nice, I liked them.

Cons

Toxic work environment, can make better money elsewhere, old fashioned system, as a server you are relying on the cook to correctly mark your order and the company renames everything instead of just saying what the item is. For example, if a customer wants cheese you would say covered instead of simply saying cheese. You have to also keep up with dishes as a server, which can pile up very quickly in this sometimes fast paced environment. Also small space working environment
