Pros
- Great restaurant for career SI looking to learn and grow. Access to a lot of training, great producers and a strong beverage program.
- Tight knit team. Moved to Austin and need friends? You will make them fast here, FoH and BoH meshes together.
- Easy to take time off and make schedule changes. Most management were servers and cooks themselves that were promoted. They will generally fight for your contentment.
- Decent guests. Most diners are pretty nice and open to a new experience.
Cons
- On a somewhat diluted tip pool system. If you are a strong server, they will pass you the heavy sections while you watch the slowpokes get paid the same.
- It will be difficult work. Not necessarily a negative but expect regular learning and testing. You will be a downtown restaurant and will be slammed on busy weekends/SXSW/F1
- Company is rapidly growing and becoming increasingly corporate. Positive in some ways and negative in others.
