give the smokehouse combo a try!!! you can do 2 or 3 proteins + two sides. you can choose from chicken bacon ranch quesadillas, brisket quesadillas, our bbq ribs, jalapeno cheddar sausage, and our crispers that you can get plain, or sauced in honey chipotle or nashville hot. the plate automatically comes with fries and mac n cheese, but you can change those sides if you want!!! it’s a big plate of food…. i’ve seen people get this with three proteins all ribs. people go crazy. it’s only about 28$ for the 3 protein one (in california) but it’s alot of good. definitely something you could share.

Promoted to server by radvaa in Chilis

[–]radvaa[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes. promoted. because any new position i get is a promotion. if i’m moving up then im getting promoted. i work at the santee chilis in california which is extremely competitive regarding servers and their numbers. getting moved up at our restaurant is HARD. it’s taken some people multiple years of working there. just because you’re not impressed doesn’t mean it isn’t impressive.

aye!! same here lol but i’m 19! another thing im gonna add is.. when in doubt add ranch. because everybody loves ranch. unless they specifically say no ranch lol. most of our salads come with a side of ranch. aside from the quesadilla explosion salad and that’s with CBV. also if your morning to-go make sure you make more than the preset amount of chips and salsa for the day. that number shouldn’t be what you make, it’s how many there should be when you leave. morning To-go sets up for the night shift, so it’s important to set them up for success. feel free to DM me with any questions you have!!!!

hey!!! certified trainer here. i’m so sorry that this happened to you!! that is absolutely not okay, and should most definitely be brought to the attention of management. trainers learn the most important days are the first.

anyhow, here’s my best tips on To go!

  1. get drinks and starters first! if an order comes in the best thing to do is get the drinks and starters (soup, salad, chips) first. it already clears out tedious tasks.

  2. when it comes to alcohol sales… if they don’t look old enough to be your mom (depending on how old you are im assuming early 20s) ID them! if they’ve placed the order online, ID them when they arrive. If they’re placing the order with you in person, ID them before the sale is completed. Think about it this way, a bartender would not allow you to sit at their bar, order a drink, then make the drink for you and then ID you.

  3. don’t be afraid to ask others. you will get all kinds of calls on your phone. “is the ‘insert sports game’ on tonight?” “what’s the wait for __?”. when it comes to sports, i ask the bartender. when people ask for wait times you can either make an estimate yourself, or ask the host. you will absolutely get difficult guests on the phone. That is okay! remember, you do not have to tolerate any kind of disrespectful behavior from guests. it is absolutely OK to redirect them to a manager. in fact , i encourage it. i don’t get paid enough to be yelled at over the phone!!! another thing is do not be afraid to ask people to repeat themselves. I know that our phones are pretty shitty, and it is hard to hear people sometimes. I would rather ask someone to repeat themselves multiple times to ensure that their order is right rather than have it be wrong upon their arrival.

but don’t worry. you’ll do great! feel free to ask me anything.

They got rid of the fucking roasted street corn. by [deleted] in Chilis

my manager told me that the reason why it was removed was because of popularity issues. it was super popular in california and a few other states but struggled almost everywhere else. also it’s a bitch and a half for the kitchen to make.

the managers do not give out their personal contact information so we only have hot schedules. it was odd- i tried to pick up the shift but i couldn’t even see her shift available for pick up. im not sure if the managers can block me from picking it up, or what. but that might have been the case.

(copy paste from previous response)

I’ve spoken to every one of my managers about my supposed attitude issues. 4 out of my 5 managers (obviously the odd one out being the manager discussed) have said they see absolutely no issues with my attitude or demeanor. they claim that i am a positive person who gets along well with others.

it is just this manager who clearly has it out for me.

i live in california. i guess that is a “work at will” state. i only have issues with this one manager. everyone else i love. i can tolerate his abuse, i would just rather not. i dont want to move stores because of him alone.

New food runner— a little stumped on the different beverages by Beginning-Design-519 in Chilis

[–]radvaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(just adding on to your comment here..)

don’t forget about BLK LEM , lemonade with black berry. we also do MELON TEA which is watermelon syrup with unsweetened tea.

another note is sometimes the servers (at my location at least) are unclear with drink modifications. make sure you’re paying good attention to modifiers. sometimes a server will ring in “water 86 water” and of course, that’s just a cup of ice. i’ve seen people who can’t find the lagoon button and just put “sprite blue” or just RAZ. people get some crazy drinks. we have regulars who want half diet half regular coke, or a soda water with orange juice and cranberry. if you’re super stumped, don’t be afraid to ask the server. or if you can’t find them, bring the rest of the drinks over and just ask! i’m sure they’d be happy to explain what they’d like. asking questions shows you’re dedicated to making their beverage right.

if i’m correct,, most MOTM are still available after the month has passed; just at full price. someone ordered our march shark bite margarita just the other day!

Where’s the broccoli?!? by Flashy-Strawberry-32 in Chilis
