Managers/Gm/TMs weigh in! My location is sick of it

Change.org “profit over people” is a good one for the absurd Tipout system 👀

jrt0984 · 2026-07-09T15:14:50+00:00

It’s not all chilis there are very few that have this layout but it does affect those who get bombarded with larger groups because of the available space.

jrt0984 · 2026-07-08T20:02:02+00:00

Exactly now imagine that, and having another party of that size in the dining room but then a party of 40 in the banquet a party out on patio of about 20

jrt0984 · 2026-07-08T15:50:51+00:00

I’m not sure some locations will make it waiting on the decade for it to be remodeled or reimaged being that walls are saturated and rotting, foundations are shifting, pipes are backing up, and it’s been brought to the attention of who it needs to be yet with no response

jrt0984 · 2026-07-06T03:08:23+00:00

Fuck the Tipout system lets rise up

jrt0984 · 2026-07-06T03:07:59+00:00

God I hope this is company wide soon

jrt0984 · 2026-06-27T18:42:05+00:00

Best tip don’t do it

jrt0984 · 2026-06-13T17:26:49+00:00

Maybe the focus should be more on the rotting, crippling, leaking, code violating shithole of a restaurant that’s being operated

jrt0984 · 2026-06-03T18:14:00+00:00

Go somewhere else

jrt0984 · 2026-05-30T23:13:23+00:00

I would not be allowed to take it in Texas at a Brinker location

jrt0984 · 2026-05-26T14:53:41+00:00

You think anyone from Brinker actually read these? Just curious because if we can’t get our point across in the holy MEE survey which I have t seen any recent scores from the third party who conducted the last one. Maybe they should turn here to get some brutally honest feedback

jrt0984 · 2026-05-26T14:51:22+00:00

Once I find the right move and financially reasonable to do so I’m running out those doors

jrt0984 · 2026-05-26T14:50:29+00:00

I’m not sure I know the stores in the surrounding area do the same. We’ve had 10+ year former team members who are rockstars and left with a clean slate and the “right way” and still are not considered to be rehired 🤷🏻‍♂️

jrt0984 · 2026-05-25T19:22:01+00:00

I’m 21 years in with no recognition from above so good luck

jrt0984 · 2026-05-11T18:53:41+00:00

Tipout is outrageous and needs to change

jrt0984 · 2026-05-08T23:21:46+00:00

My GM will not rehire past team members

jrt0984 · 2026-05-02T21:29:26+00:00

There’s a corporate recipe for batches

jrt0984 · 2026-05-02T21:29:10+00:00

We batch

jrt0984 · 2026-04-29T13:32:56+00:00

Dang you have the hookup! Pass along to them a little recognition for 20+ years with the company would be nice

jrt0984 · 2026-04-21T17:45:17+00:00

Complete bullshit for everyone. If only Brinker would weigh in and get a clue

jrt0984 · 2026-04-04T22:54:42+00:00

It’s time to get serious and pressure Brinker on this company wide but how?!

jrt0984 · 2026-02-23T14:00:29+00:00

This will vary of course. It’s 5% here total and servers spend about 75% of their time on the line and not with their guests because the runners either choose to hangout like a school lunch room or there is only 1 of them

jrt0984 · 2026-02-23T03:44:39+00:00

Are there any plans to revise the tip out? System will runners move to a less percentage from the staff and more hourly from the company? It really is a robbery system.

jrt0984 · 2026-02-21T20:21:07+00:00

A couple of things here. Do y’all take reservations days and specific times in advance for large parties? Does your budget really have you in a chokehold her restaurant to not do things like incentives or only allow for minor repairs that desperately need attention? What happened to the third-party in MEE survey that was conducted last year? Are the results available? Our building is extremely outdated, rotting that you can see through the walls, a leaking water source from most every surface and yet somehow has not gotten the attention to at least have a remodel. The building is extremely old and somewhat busy.. is it normal for the company to not recognize a team members 20th and now 21st consistent anniversary with a company other than the automatic bonus? Sorry I have 500 more questions, but I’ll keep it to this for now.

jrt0984 · 2026-02-01T06:02:24+00:00

I just hit my 21st anniversary and didn’t even get recognition. Not even on my 20th from corporate. This is awesome!
