A job where the work never ended in one of Scarborough's busiest restaurants, I managed hostess's on a part-time basis while also filling in for servers when the night became too busy. With thousands of customers per day, the task of co-ordinating and organizing a fullhouse from open to close was an exciting and challenging aspect of the job.

Fantastic management and staff.
Co-workers and management support everyone, especially when one employee is having a bad day.
I would recommend this company for anyone looking to work in the restaurant industry.

I honestly never look forward to a day working at Jack Astor's. All the co-workers never have a smile on their face and it really puts everyone down. I ask myself why they even work as waiters/waitresses when part of their job includes making the guests feel good, they don't even feel good themselves. The management wasn't bad however. The bosses were – more... very reasonable. I learn't that you shouldn't work with people who bring you down. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the co-workers and the most enjoyable was talking to the clients, suggesting meals, taking, orders, etc. – less

Get excited that work is going to start. It is going to be another busy day. The people you work with are all in it with you. You learn to be part of a team and to help make it work. Management is there for you only so much as they can be. The co-workers are just like you, trying to make a living and have a good time. Hardest part of the job is the – more... stress and human error. The most enjoyable part of the job is hitting up the bar when you finish your shift. – less
