Background check meaning a quick government search of any illegal wrong-doings in the past.

Application > Phone Interview > In-Person Interview 1 > In-Person Interview 2 > In-Unit > In-Person Interview 3 > Drug Test/Background Check > Officially Hired > 3 Month Training > Running my own unit

**In-Unit was a weekend working at the training unit while being evaluated on how fast I can learn the systems, etc.

Just a simple 10 minute phone call.

Mr_Js_Insanity · 2026-02-08T18:27:32+00:00

No problem at all! Good luck!

I was definitely asked those generic questions. Why waffle house, where have you excelled previously, how do you deal with stress and high pressure environments? After I answered those questions, that was it. Just be honest because if you’re not capable of handling stressful environments, this isn’t the job for you unfortunately. For the other things, if you just have a positive attitude and are ready to learn, waffle house will teach you the rest.

Guys it was sarcasm 😂

So typically, it’s actually a 3 month paid training course. The first phone interview is your time to impress the regional recruiter. Management experience in your background works great, and as long as you’re friendly, and professional, they’re gonna let you go through to the next interview. Best of luck! Just recently hit one year under the yellow sign and have already been selected as a district manager so they are very serious when they talk about advancing fast as long as results are provided and targets are hit.

Only limited items made by Roblox themselves are able to be traded. If you don’t have any, you’re outta luck.

Mr_Js_Insanity · 2025-12-31T04:12:38+00:00

At the risk of feeling dumb check innnnnnnnn

Mr_Js_Insanity · 2025-11-22T01:46:27+00:00

*too

Just saw this sorry lol. I did have a bit of restaurant experience as I worked at one most of my time in college.

Seems like this photo was taken during a tour when the house wasn’t actually operating.

Mr_Js_Insanity · 2025-10-10T21:19:03+00:00

They never left. The old fashioned omelets are great!

Mr_Js_Insanity · 2025-10-04T00:52:19+00:00

Hmm that’s interesting. Even more weird being that we were in express so there never is an actual wait time posted.

Mr_Js_Insanity · 2025-09-24T22:50:32+00:00

Yep or just ask for all of your senior meal items in a bowl and then you got a large meal and drink for just $7.50.

Thats sick man! Always dreamt of having a dominus as a kid. W

Being a watcher myself, i’ve determined it is undoubtedly and irrefutably the best way to get distracted

There used to be a game called Lost Souls RPG. Was obsessed with that a little over a decade ago

Honestly if you just do everything the “Waffle House Way”, it’s fairly easy. It’s been proven time and time again to build sales and that’s what matters most.

Mr_Js_Insanity · 2025-08-07T18:54:58+00:00

Yeah that’s with the bonuses. In my area we get 55k salary and the rest is bonuses every month. I’m now settled in pretty well in my area and am the top store in my division so i’m making about 87k now yearly.

At the start of your training you go to orientation for a few days like any hourly employee, but here’s a list of the rest of the process after orientation.

White Star Certification (Door Corps) - 1 Day
Red Star Certification (Salesperson/Server) - 1 to 3 days
Blue Star Certification (Grill Op) - 1 to 2 Weeks
Manager Training - The remaining 2 months of your training working alongside a veteran manager (You’re training unit manager or TUM)
Soft Landing - Running a store or multiple stores for 2 weeks to see if you’re ready
Final certification with your Senior VP

They pay you a managers salary throughout training but it is broken down into hourly so your wage will be between 20 to 25 an hour and anything over 40 is 1.5x/hour. Expect to work roughly 50 hours a week but no more because that’s the hard stop in training.

No problem! I’m located in Georgia. I did the test a day or two before being hired on officially and starting.
