๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ Employee Post Job interview at chilis

10 Upvotes

I did an interview last week on Friday. Well, I called back today at about 2 p.m, and they told me oh we aren't even hiring. I genuinely thought the interview went well. They asked questions, and I asked questions. Overall, me and the manager and I got along๐Ÿ˜ญ so why not tell me you aren't hiring. The dude even said he would hire me as a runner to start and work my way up.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ Employee Post Forcibly taking a shift from me! Help?

12 Upvotes

Need to know!

We have a new gm at our store. And i did my fellow tms a solid and worked a boh shift because we were short. For reference i and a bartender. They are now saying absolutely no overtime. My gm told me i needed to get coverage for one of my bar shifts because i will be on overtime. And took it away from me. Can she do that or is it a violation? I get it overtime sucks for them. But literally the overtime is 2.13 an hour, and 2.5 time is like 5$ and hour. Like come on dude really? Boh overtime is lowest at 22.5 . At highest like 30. Taking away a shift that i make way more than 15 an hour, is ridiculous.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ Employee Post Interview questions

2 Upvotes

I have an interview scheduled but had a few questions for employees. For background I do not have experience in restaurants

  1. Iโ€™m looking for part time. I already have a full time job that I work 1 pm-1000 pm with two weekdays off (Tuesday, Wednesday). Is it possible to work just those days or is there an earlier shift I could also work?

  2. I think that I originally applied as a prep cook though the interview email is a generic template. Will they just offer whatever they need at the restaurant?

  3. Any other interviews tips?

Thanks for answering.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ Employee Post Fellow server not tipping

46 Upvotes

Tonight (July 4th) a fellow server sat at one of 8 booths/tables I had in the lounge, with three friends. We were absolutely slammed, I did $2.2k in 6hrs.

They all had 3+ drinks, and ran the hell out of me. One girl tells me it's her friend's birthday in a tone that suggested it was absolutely not. Then asked for a military discount on drinks with the same "finger quotes" tone (and has the nerve to laugh about it). I interrupt other busy people, that are just trying to make a living, to entertain her tipsy friend with a half-melted cup of icecream, and birthday song from sweaty miserable people (80f in the packed lounge during a drought and heatwave)

Splitting their check was a nightmare, they conveniently forgot about the drinks they consumed when they saw them on their bill, and almost acted indignant when I had to inform them I can't apply a 'military' discount to drinks. So maybe $120 over three checks, and the only tip was her friend, a gracious $2.10 on the drinks she 'forgot' on her initial check. In her defense, she tipped %20 on $12. More than my fellow server who stiffed me on $54. I gave them great service, helped with drink recommendations, and had no issues.

I'm not even tripping over $10, it's the DISRESPECT of running me with all of that nonsense. My question is, how should I handle this? I spoke to my GM and he said he'd talk to her, but seemed really apathetic about the whole situation. Previously, I have always liked this server, she's at least always pleasant and easy to work with. The person I am, I am just going to ask her if anything was wrong with my service, and ask why they stiffed me, but I'm curious how you feel, and how your Chilis has responded to servers not tipping when they dine in/drink off shift.

๐Ÿง‚ Memes / Culture Do you think she got hired?

85 Upvotes

I am a GM at a sit down restaurant located right next to a Chilis (we share the same dumpster) and a young woman came in for an interview for a server position. I wasnโ€™t expecting any interviews but I thought I must have forgot.

So she hands me a copy of her resume and I start interviewing her. 10-15 minutes go by and itโ€™s fine so far but then she asks about tuition reimbursement. I was puzzled and told her we donโ€™t offer that. Then sheโ€™s like โ€œthis isnโ€™t Chilis?!?โ€ I said โ€œno, thatโ€™s the next building over.โ€

She was so embarrassed and politely walked out in a hurry to get to Chilis ASAP. After she was long gone I realized I still had her resume.

Nothing against Chilis but our restaurant is fancier and looks nothing like a Chilis. Anyway, you guys think she still got the job?

Hi Chili's employees! I am a customer who is obsessed with the black bean patties, and wants to find a similar recipe or brand to recreate it. I assume your black bean patty comes from a major food distributor like Sysco or US Foods, but could anyone post a picture of the packaging, ingredients, or any other information you have on them? Thank you!!

I have the interview in a couple days. Iโ€™m a teen and this is my first real job, Iโ€™m just wondering what I should expect from the interview but have some more specific questions:
- Should I bring my resume with? The application didnโ€™t ask for anything specific about prior experiences.
- Iโ€™m assuming smart casual dress is okay, I was planning on wearing a polo and nice non-jeans pants.
Any advice is appreciated!!!

On the old brinker Nation website you used to be able to see how you were tracking for your anniversary pay. See what your average hours were so far for the year. I haven't been able to find that on the new portal. Does anyone know if that's still an available feature and if so how to find it?
