"management" not "a manager" huge difference, and work ethic is direct reflection of management, countless times i have seen the worst work ethic get turned around by an injection of strong management and structure, it breeds strong work ethic in employees, time and time again

If problems with your appetizers and salads and entrees coming out at the same time are a problem every time you're at a particular place, yes, management is going to be a big factor. If its an occasional, or one time issue, its a server error. Has Rag has this problem at the same place over and over, or has it been at multiple different places..


I get what you're saying and I'm not trying to argue with you, but I just don't think you get my point. I know what kind of stuff I see from both management and waitstaff. I've had new GMs come in, new managers, etc. They've made us go to early morning meetings where they give us menu tests, talk about points of service that are lacking, but you have college kids who could care less and just wanna make a buck. Finding good workers and keeping them isn't as easy as you'd think.

Waiters at these chain places seem to think this game is all about speed. The faster I get you out, the more money I get to make.

This is so true....but the problem starts at the top...they all believe the name of the game is to turn those tables over as fast as possible...And hey...I'm not saying their wrong...That might be the way to make the most profit....I'm not sure Baton Rouge is ready to pay the price tag for dinner at Stella's.

when i was at ruffinos and jubans we would get the app order, send it immediately and not send entree order till the apps hit the table. the salad was made so fast you could get it out anytime
