Great place to work. Everyone's super nice and always having fun!
Hostess (Current Employee) – Victoria, BC – 18 April 2018
I love working here, the management is amazing and so is the staff. It's a fun, fast-paced work environment. For hosting, I've gotten mostly 3.5-hour shifts. If you want a fun job just for some extra cash I highly recommend it.
Alright place to work
Hostess (Former Employee) – Prince George, BC – 9 August 2015
I enjoyed most of my time here and most of my coworkers. I had been working here when I got my current job and after working both for a couple months, the scheduling just wasn't working and the other job was a better opportunity and had more stable hours.
Cons
Split shifts, night shifts
Trainer, certified in all positions
Certified Learning Coach (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 24 June 2015
Long, management was an issue, but the co-workers were great. Food was good, positions and moving up occurred. Enjoyable training new employees in positions.
Pros
Half-off food, staff was full of conviviality
Cons
Terrible hours, terrible management
Not what I wanted
Kitchen Manager (Former Employee) – Lower Mainland, BC – 20 June 2015
Great Company when started in a cook/ dishwasher position years ago. With no previous experience you have a hard time to adapted as a manager.
Pros
free meal
Cons
long hours, lots of stress
Fast Paced Family
Shift Leader, Lead Trainer, Bartender, Server (Current Employee) – Edmonton, Alberta – 2 June 2015
Red Robin is a very fast paced environment with a Family aspect connected to it. Not only is it a family restaurant but co-workers become your family as well. Teamwork is essential to make it through the day; without teamwork nothing is possible. My favorite part of the job is being able to make someones day memorable for the rest of their life.
Pros
Good money, good people
Cons
Can be very stressful
Fun first job with other young people.
Host/ Bus Boy (Former Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 7 August 2014
It was my first job, working with people that were my own age in a social environment. Every day consisted of customer service, from seating, serving, preparing and completing dishes, cleaning, inventory. My co-workers and management were good, although I wouldn't have known any better at the time. The job itself was rather easy, it was the unstable hours at times, or sometimes unreliable co-workers. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the other employees.

Fun and getting to help people
hostess,busser (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 7 August 2014
A typical day consisted of seeing plently of customers. What I had learned was that no matter how hard or stressful things are just smile. Managnebt was terriable. The co-workers were off and on fun to work with. The hardest part of the job was trying to please everyone at once. The most enjoyable part was seeing everyone happy in the end.

Friendly productive teamwork-dependent workplace
Host/Hospitality (Current Employee) – Maple Ridge, BC – 25 April 2014
Typical day at work: Meet, greet and seat guests quickly while engaging in conversation and making them feel welcome. Helped with general restaurant cleanliness and assisted the staff with prompt delivery of food to the guests.
What I learned: Time management skills, organizational skills, food safety, and how to work efficiently
Management/co-workers: Management is always right there working with the staff and ensuring things are going smoothly. They are understanding of personal issues and always happy to help.
Co-workers are helpful and friendly, everyone works well together.
Hardest part of the Job: Sometimes it's easy to forgot priorities when the restaurant gets busy and there is a lot to do.

Dishwasher (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 4 April 2014
I either closed or opened the dish pit, worked alone, bussed tables when the bussers fell behind. It was an easy one person job. My only complaint would be, that the G.M was stealing tip out to pay for his drug habit.
Pros
good co-workers free dinner
Cons
the G.M
good work place

8+ hours on your feet straight no breaks (by choice)
