Pros

Cafes, Inc. is comprised of several small restaurants. The one I worked at was in Woodinville at the Woodinville Cafe. All my coworkers were a lot of fun and I made some great friends. My workload was certainly reasonable and and the tips given to in (in cash) at the end of each shift was always fair. The Woodinville Cafe was probably the best our of the other six restaurants and ran very smoothly.

Cons

Everything here was actually pretty dandy until there was a change in the owner. The new owner, Ryan, is the worst. Anyone who was not a server (hosts, cooks, and dishwashers) were usually ignored or berated for not "pulling their weight". He was usually clueless as to how the restaurant operated so the managers would have to explain what was going on. I would like to be fair though, I worked there a little over 2 years ago and it's likely that his attitude would have changed -- but while I was there it got harder to work for him each day.

Pros

Tips came in cash at the end of every shift. If you work there long enough you get to know regulars , which is nice. The owner Ryan was a nice person every time he came to visit. I also made many friends in my co-workers making work fun.

Cons

The downside is the managers at my location were very catty and had favorites. It was obvious who they liked by how they were scheduled and how tip outs were split. We were also constantly understaffed and overworked. I was there until an hour after we closed constantly even though I was only a hostess. We also had people walking out constantly and quitting.
