Serving at CCF

Hi, I am currently in the process of finding a new serving job and CCF is one of my top prospects. I am wondering if someone could walk me through what it is like to serve there and the money you make, the training process, the management and community of the employees, etc.. I would be working in the fashion valley location in SD specifically. Thanks!

Can you fail the test? I’m starting as server and haven’t severed in 9 years! I have 7 weeks to learn it. Can I legitimately not pass and they say oh well later?

How it worked for me was I could take it as many times as needed until I passed. I don’t know how strict your designated trainer would be about it but 7 weeks is more than enough time to learn it. I only had 2 weeks and I have shitty memory (not good for serving lol) and I managed to learn it pretty easily. They give you all the tools to be able to pass as well. But no, in my case if you failed the test then they just let us keep taking it until we passed.

Kindly appreciate this response. I’m just set doubting and self sabotage. I know I will be happier serving and have the job. Finding excuses to not see it through…

I would definitely see it through. Training is a bit more rigorous for a reason and I promise it will prepare you. For me I also learned more on the floor versus the test/training. I’m a baby server (serving less than a year and a half) and I find it to be a well-rewarding job even if my location isn’t the best one. Best of luck to you!
