I’ve been working at Dennys for going on two years now, and I’ve been asking for just ONE DAY TO WAITRESS, so they put me on the schedule to serve on a Tuesday then never put me on the schedule again, but then has the new hostess working nights as a waitress, my work ethic is not bad, i run my food and can take care of my Tables with no problem + i know the whole menu..at this point am i wasting my time? I’m really at the point of putting my two weeks in it’s been so unfair over the last year.

Are you a hostess or a food runner, OP? I remember begging my GM to help me transition to a server, but he wouldn't take me off the hostess schedule because he knew he could trust me to handle to-gos, phone calls, and keeping the servers happy with seating. Sometimes it's not that they don't want you to grow, it's that they don't want to lose a solid hostess. Can you talk to management about alternating with the new hire so you can get experience as a waitress too?

Well, you can keep bugging your management - agree to do server whenever they want so that you get experience. And then once you get a little experience, if they don’t give you more shifts, apply elsewhere. You just need some experience and then you can try your luck elsewhere!

wow sorry to hear that

This happened to me too :( I’m sorry you had to go through that it’s so frustrating! What I did was I honestly asked a waitress if I can ghost him when he was at his section just to get the hang of it , I would say ghost whoever you are cool with while you are on your break or off work just so manager can see you really want it . Second you can do what I did at the end because managers at dennys are so weird, quit the job and apply at a different dennys as a server hahaha!

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
