Great Place - Host Roots Steakhouse Employee Review

4.0

Pros

Hosts get their hourly plus a certain percentage tip out. A decent/good night you can get $50-70 solely on tips. You also get a 30% discount on food, any restaurant that's part of the group.

Cons

It can be long days. Phone-busy and you gotta deal with some rude/entitled clientele.

Pros

Consistent money and hours, staff meal

Cons

Tip pool system ruins the incentive for good service. Mandatory charges weekly for staff meals. Incredibly overstaffed, leaves servers at smaller restaurants earning more than this high end steak house. Managers will write servers up and threaten to fire them if they receive poor reviews, even if entirely subjective. ZERO gratuity added for big parties including private parties is ridiculous. I had an $800 table tip $0 and the manager didn’t even try to sway them to tip.
