Pros

I have loved working here for years. Flexibility is awesome, provides great work/life balance. The incentive to maximize every guest experience is rewarding. I have enjoyed working at this place for many years, primarily because of the flexibility it provides & I genuinely enjoy my job.

Cons

It’s common to get sent home early during slow shifts throughout the week, which can be good if you want the day off, or bad if you want to make money. Restaurant has become increasingly corporate & management is on top of servers to meet sales metrics, though I have yet to see anyone get fired for underperformance. As a part-time employee, no benefits, no paid time off.

Pros

- Remote Work (For the most part) - Lucky Cat Card (Even though you technically have to pay for it out of your check) - PTO (Even though you’re still expected to answer calls/respond to emails while on vacation)

Cons

- Toxic Culture Is An Understatement (it oozes out at every crevice, and trickles down from the top) - Heavy Bait and Switch Tactics (major manipulation) - Constant Goalpost Movement (If you do happen to hit goal, expect the number you achieved to be the standard moving forward until it’s increased again the following month, which leaves the ability to earn commission nonexistent) - Extremely Stressful during peak season (Q4 holidays and Q2 graduations - You will work every single day for weeks during these periods) - 60-Hour Work Weeks (More during peak seasons) - No Holidays Off (Removed our holidays completely out of the blue-major bait and switch tactic) - No Bonuses (Removed our bonus eligibility 4 months after we were supposed to receive them. We had to wait in limbo for a bonus that would never come, after having to hear the run around from corporate for the entire first quarter of 2026. This is after having our bonuses paid out in installments in 2025 due to poor company financial health) - 3 CEO’s in 1 year (Let that sink in a sec) - Ever-changing menu and menu structure that leaves guests and even team members extremely confused. The prix-fixe menu options are an absolute mess, and the guest experience suffers greatly from it.
