What is it like being a hostess at Ruby Tuesdays? |
I have an interview tomorrow and I am not sure if I should attend. Is it a good job? Any details on hostessing would be great, also any tips for the interview are appreciated! Thanks! i was a hostess at ruby tuesday for about 6mths. i thought the work was easier and even though the servers claim they make more money-they tip u out. they may make a little more, but they are working for it! when i worked there, all i had to do was greet and seat. i never really had to clean tables,etc..unless it was extremely busy and i needed to have somewhere to sit guests. also, i sometimes helped to keep the bathroom clean for guests, swept the floor, and checked out the servers! yes, that's right- i assigned the tasks each server needed to do and had to check behind them before they left. if they don't do it and u allow them to go home- u are responsible for cleaning it so watch out for that! all u do is stand up, look cute, and smile. i talked to people all day-this was back in 2004-2005 and around that time i made an average of $9/hr with base pay and tip out. try to work on fri and saturday nights that is when u make the most, because the more the servers make the more u make. the more people u seat in the restaurant, the more tip out u get. this would be a great part time job if ur in school, but stick to working weekends..during the week it is usually slower. Source(s): i was a hostess at ruby tuesday I've never been a server there, but I do enjoy eating at Ruby Tuesday. Without personal experience working there, I can only tell you what I would expect it to be like. It appears that it would be a clean working environment -- the RT in my area doesn't allow smoking. You'll probably find your share of rude or incosiderate individuals -- and that goes for both customers as well as fellow co-workers. I would guess that most starting position are probably in the $8 to $10/hour range. They may expect that you'll make more since you'll be receiving tips. I would ask yourself: * can I deal with difficult customers? * how do I feel about being on my feet for several hours at a time? * can I stand working around the smells of food all the time? If you are comfortable with your answers, then I think you may enjoy working there. I would encourage you to go to the interview -- remember that you can always say no. (But at least you'll have more information about the restaurant.) Hope that helps! |
