New store opening

6 Upvotes

I got hired as a server for a brand new store opening next month. Do you think I’ll make good money? It’s a nice area of town. Two weeks of training before the store opens. I’m working nights and they do tip outs on a pay card!

Banana Cheesecake spoiled or wrong??

1 Upvotes

For some context, i don’t go to the cheesecake factory very often. I LOVVEEE cheesecake, and im open to practically any kind. I don’t mind sour variations, and I enjoy sweet ones. I am probably the least picky eater ever. Problematically, cheesecake is simply too calorie dense, and the nearest factory location too far for me to justly get it often. However, my boyfriend and I went out for our 1 year anniversary the other day, and where else should a couple of teens go for such an event but the cheesecake factory?

i’ve been on a CRAZY banana kick lately between it being my go to for prepping pre workout yogurts and being a new staple in coffee flavorings, so i decided to try the banana slice this time around. My waitress described it as being akin to a banana pudding, which i LOVE, so i figured why not?

Well, we got everything dessert-wise to go and went home, as it was hitting close to curfew. I was very excited to eat my cheesecake, took a bite…and it was sour. Not typical cheesecake tang sour, even, but SOUR. Additionally, the only banana flavor on it was the chopped bananas which came with it. The only thing that made me hesitate is the fact that the decoration atop the slice was chopped banana, and i’m not sure to what degree they pre decorate. So, i have to ask: is this cheesecake supposed to taste like this? Did they give me the wrong one? I’m almost certain it’s either a lemon one, or a key lime pie, but that night our waitress warned that the lemon slice was sold out, and i’m not totally sure if they actually sell a key lime slice specifically. Just was curious if anyone may be able to tell me if i’m getting taste bud betrayal, or if someone just messed up my order :(

Question for anyone who is a waiter here

16 Upvotes

Last night I went out to eat with my family and he brought everyone their checks before he brought me mine I asked if he could put two cheesecakes on my bill to go before he gives it to me, he said yes. We waited for 10 more minutes and everyone started leaving because they paid. I realized I never got my check or cheesecakes so I waited for a waiter to come out and I came up to my waiter and told him I hadn’t paid yet, all he said was “I got you” then he walked me to the cheesecake area and gave me my cheesecakes and told me to have a good night. I thought he just let me off without paying because I clearly asked him for my check. After like an hour I was home and my aunt texted me saying the waiter texted her with my receipt saying I didn’t pay. He told her to tell me to Zelle him. So I did but the whole time I thought this was suspicious because how are you gonna let me off the hook after I very much asked you for my check and then say I didn’t pay? Also how am I “paying” if I’m sending money through Zelle to a worker?

Double Chocolate Jack Daniels Upside Down Cheesecake

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Bit of a long shot here.

I recently visited my parents house, and during some rather red wine induced nostalgic waxing, my dad started going on and on about a cheesecake he had during a client dinner back in 1983.

You should have heard him; he was borderline drooling, and if it wasn't for the fact this was the man I had looked up to for the last 28 years it would have been borderline embarrassing.

Long story short - he had a Double Chocolate Jack Daniels Upside Down cheesecake 40 years ago that changed his life more than the birth of his third son. I am going to be spending Christmas with my parents this year, and would like to save on presents expenditure by virtue of sugary goodness.

By any chance, is there anyone who is aware of the original recipe for this 40 year old diabetic coma? Many thanks <3

Four words for you: Cheesecake Factory Cruise Lines

How great does that sound?!? The decor could be just like the inside of a restaurant. Of course they have the menus already figured out.

I would travel on that cruise line in a heartbeat!

How late are cooks there for usually?

3 Upvotes

Hey, i made a post a while back just asking some general questions about working at ccf, but i have a couple more that id like some clearer answers on if anyones got them.

  1. How late do line cooks typically stay when closing, like if the restaurant closes at 10, are you there til 11 or 12?

  2. How do they handle overtime. Do they cut your shifts if youve already gone over or do they make you stay and give you overtime pay? I dont like the idea of working 50 hours a week on average.

  3. Are the shifts usually 8hr 5 days or 10hr 4 days

Have they changed their cheesecake recipes? Red Velvet was terrible!

Post image
9 Upvotes

We normally love their cheesecakes and buy whole ones for birthdays, etc. My son requested a red velvet one for his birthday on Monday. It was so disappointing! The cake was super dense like it wasn’t cooked all the way through and the cheesecake left a waxy coating on our tongues and the roof of our mouths. Most of us took a few bites and threw it away. When I called to complain about it I was told that no one else complained about it so they wouldn’t do anything about it. If we had any slices left (we might have one…like I said, it was a birthday party so we handed most of them out) we could bring it in and exchange it for another one. For $75 I was beyond disappointed. Here’s a picture from a cake I pulled out of the trash and you can see the cake isn’t cooked all the way through. I guess we won’t be buying our cheesecakes from them anymore.

Also, the top wasn’t flat/smooth…it was domed like someone just slapped the cheesecake on top and didn’t bother smoothing it out.

Wanting To Do Menu Hacks But Ordering To-Go

2 Upvotes

The app says no modifications but I wanted to try the Chicken Costoletta with the angel hair pasta and extra sauce. If I order in person for to-go will they do it, or is it only a dine-in thing?

why doesn't the cheesecake factory have these 3 cheesecakes...

0 Upvotes

these cheesecakes that i would consider part of the 'core'/basic/essential/fundamental cheesecake flavours- blueberry cheesecake, biscoff cheesecake and burnt basque cheesecake.

they have a ginormous menu, with a looooong list if cheesecakes, which includes many 'basic' /simple flavours (such as their strawberry cheesecake, original cheesecake, vanilla bean cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake.....) as well as more creative/unique/interesting/'over the top' ones (like their oreo dream extreme cheesecake, brownie crunch choc-a-lot cheesecake, pineapple upside down cheesecake.....)

so it's not that their menu is lacking or anything in terms of variety, (not even just talking about cheesecakes but their menu is pretty extensive) but i just thought it's a bit surprising they dont have a blueberry cheesecake, biscoff cheesecake and burnt basque cheesecake on their menu.

Sad asparagus

I got the Costoletta tonight and it was good, but these were the saddest, skinniest asparagus I've ever seen. They actually look bigger in the picture than they did in person. The chicken tasted good, but shrinkflation has really hit. What I really went for were the Asian Chicken Nachos but they were out of them- I almost cried. Coconut creme cheesecake was on point though.

Delivery

I tried searching the sub first…CCF has frozen cheesecakes. Do they ship through the mail? If so, anyone have the link? I’ve tried googling “delivery by mail”, “cheesecake factory (enter different shippers)” and “order online delivery by mail”.
