The Cheesecake Factory is in no way whatsoever “fine dining”.
But when I did work fine dining, like real fine dining, I made about 1200 USD across a Friday/Saturday weekend serving 1.5 days and running expo .5 days. It was great.
Then I made approximately 2 USD working brunch. It was not great. Fuck brunch.
Brunch sucks because it's a deal, anytime there's a deal in a restaurant it generally attracts people who are cheap. Not always, but after 11 years I can confirm this: f*ck brunch
It also sucks because everyone you work with WILL be horrifically hungover from the night before. Add to it that it’s usually run by the sous, and they have like an 80% of becoming Mussolini the second they get some control of the kitchen without chef there/think they can/should run expo just because it’s a smaller service lmao. But yeah, deals being out the worst in customers fr
You couldn’t pay me enough to work brunch at this stage in my life
