Pros

It was a good job besides the guests. There was alot of flexibility for scheduling and there were decent employees to work with so I would recommend it. The food is crap though I would not eat anything from there myself. Was what you would expect from a restaurant job. Some people were pulling 35-45 k on tips so it was a really good outlook if that is what you want to do all the time. I am glad to be out of the restaurants but It is great money and not to hard. I would look for a better guest quality because it will make a difference.

Cons

Alot of guests were extremely demanding compared to other places I have worked.
