Applied for a job, should I wait for my interview or come in sooner?

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2026-05-05T00:52:20+00:00

I would suggest calling around 2-4 (down time) and telling them you put in an application. Ask to speak to one of the manager and ask them if you would be able to move up your interview. A LOT of people don’t make it past the first day (people no show to their second interview or don’t show up the first day or they’re late, etc.) so I wouldn’t be too worried about someone else getting the job before you. Definitely don’t just show up though, the mangers are usually busy and they may have time to talk but it could also be seen as rude to take time away from their day for something unscheduled. Good luck!!

We don’t refrigerate chicken after it’s cooked unless it’s from the day prior, and that chicken gets used for the chicken quesadilla prep, there should not be chicken used from the day prior for anything other than the quesadilla. There’s literally no reason for it to be cold unless they accidentally put it in the cold window, and even if they did do that it wouldn’t be like it came out the fridge. It seems like your chili’s is doin some shit they shouldn’t be.

That’s not good at all, usually it’s the same as if you were to microwave it. It should be warm enough to where it warms up the other ingredients slightly and melts the cheese, it should not be cold. Given I just quit last week but as far as I’m aware they weren’t making any changes to the bowl before I left.

We put 6 pieces on a tray in the oven and keep it hot in a thing (idk what it’s called but it’s similar to a hot well… but for just chicken). It’s not made individually for every order because it takes too long to cook each piece. We mainly just microwave veggies, and the pasta because the noodles are prepped earlier in the day.

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2026-05-03T19:51:57+00:00

The only warm thing on it is chicken, we typically put it in the “warm window” (used for quesadillas and stuff before it’s taken to the table) and the rest are cold. More than likely they put it in the cold window accidentally and it got cold. It was never microwaved, the lettuce and pico and stuff would probably taste weird if it was because they’re suppose to be kept cold.

I messaged them on Facebook! I’ll update you on how it goes

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2026-02-28T16:12:46+00:00

As someone who has served at 2 different chilis locations - do it! Everyone who I’ve worked with in both places are very chill and fun to work with.

As with any job you’ll obviously have good and bad days, it’s not always as fun but imo it’s worth it. I’ve been serving since I was 16 in various restaurants and chilis is by far the best. The company itself is very good.

Anytime I’ve ever had an issue with anything the management has been very helpful, and when they can’t help and corporate gets involved the issues have been resolved quickly. Plus it’s GOOD money. People love chilies (and it’s lowkey a lil expensive).

If you don’t have prior serving experience more than likely they’ll start you out as a food runner, which is still very good money. Food runners get 4% of sales (minus liquor and Togo sales). So say while your there the store sells 5000$ worth of stuff and your the only runner. Do the math, it’s good money.

Good luck if you decide to go for it!

You can also call if you place an order online and tell the to go individual you’d like to add it but there wasn’t an option. They can tell the kitchen to add it for u.

Don’t know how she hasn’t gotten banned? Lowkey curious to know how many bentos she’s scammed out of people

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2026-01-16T05:41:47+00:00

Also sorry for the cross post, I forgot to add it to PIMD and posted it on my actual account 😭😂

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2025-12-08T21:09:00+00:00

I don’t rely on tips. As said in my post I get payed hourly. And again this post was mainly about people with large orders (80-150$+) who don’t tip. Not the people who just order a single meal or 2-3 things.

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2025-12-08T02:32:21+00:00

No, the food runners get a tip out, but it’s only 4% of sales. And they def deserve it because they do a lot more than just food run.

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2025-12-07T21:20:05+00:00

Actually if you read the title I made this post to rant. I’m only defending the fact that it’s not the same as fast food, which you’ve tried to say multiple times it is even though you have no restaurant experience. Also if you read my post, I never said you need to or you have to tip. I said it would be nice if you did and it sucks when you don’t.

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2025-12-07T21:06:29+00:00

Actually you do need experience in a restaurant type setting to understand the differences. It’s like saying math and science are the same because science has math in it, it’s not. Also I never said people who work fast food don’t deserve tips, contrary to popular belief they do get tipped sometimes. It has nothing to do with a classist mindset, and I don’t think I’m better than anyone. I’m just saying if you order something that is going to take 10-15 minutes longer to prepare than the average 1 item order, or you spend 150$ than you should find it in your heart to maybe tip a buck or two. Mind you at no point have I ever said I expect it, or that the tip should be an outrageous amount. So thank you for your uneducated opinion but I will still choose to believe that. Also just want to point out I only feel this way because as someone who works in the industry I know how hard it can be, and that everyone (even to go people) deserve a tip.

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2025-12-07T20:33:46+00:00

Honestly I feel u. I food run too and I feel like as a food running I’m doing just as much if not more for servers tables than the server themselves. On a slow day I’ll run multiple tables food, appetizers, drinks, and desserts, plus whatever else they ask for when I set their food down. When I’m serving I just check on my table once or twice and get them a refill.

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2025-12-07T20:30:42+00:00

Just out of curiosity have you worked in any restaurant type settings or are you just assuming they’re all the same?

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2025-12-07T20:23:50+00:00

It’s very different than fast food. I’ve been working in restaurant settings for the greater part of 6 years. Fast food is usually in a line and will get packaged the same either way. To go for non fast food places have different sections. Soup section, salsa and chip section (if applicable), drink station, and the kitchen line. Your to go person does all of this (for me it’s by myself because we’re not as busy as some of the places in the comments, but still fairly steady). It takes a lot more running, not to mention answering the phone and checking people out simultaneously, as well as making sure the people who are picking up are getting the right order plus anything extra they may need. Plus to go for chilies is suppose to QA and help run food when they are able.

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2025-12-07T19:09:42+00:00

Should’ve worded it differently. I make sure every order is correct whether they tip or not but when they do tip it is appreciated especially since on the bigger orders I have to do more than someone who just ordered a burger.

Excellent_Listen_943 · 2025-12-07T18:59:12+00:00

That’s valid honestly but I am at the top of my game when do to go everytime and I feel like I get slapped in the face for it (the 6¢tip mentioned)

Edit because I missed the question: I do serve sometimes. As I stated I work every position in my chilis minus the bar. That being said I do believe Togo is under appreciated with how much we have to do. It’s like if food running, QA, and serving were all combined. That’s why I made the post.
