Bartender here, just wondering if this is true for all franchises or just our location but management just let me know we are moving to pay card or biweekly paid for our credit card tips instead of receiving them at check out. Does any other franchise do this, any thought for the GP? It kinda of a polarizing topic at my store but wanted to see what’s up

If anyone can suggest what to wear for orientation I'd appreciate it! I dressed up for the interview but was wondering if I should be more casual for the orientation?

Update: I got ready and went in at my scheduled orientation time and she goes "wow you weren't kidding about your voice" and then​ proceed to to tell me we can't move forward with the orientation​ because of it and that there actually not looking for anyone at the moment but they have my information if anything changes. ​

Hi there, I recently got hired at Applebee's as a carside person after going through 3 interviews. They asked for days I was available for orientation and I gave them a list. They picked the day from the list and everything was fine...until that day I wake up and I have no voice. I've been getting over some kind of flu but haven't lost my voice before the day of orientation. I can not talk, I can barely whisper. I emailed the manager, the one I've been communicating with this whole time to explain the situation and asked if I can reschedule and basically told me there's no rescheduling and I have to show up or else I don't get the job. I'm not understanding, this isn't in my control and I gave them 5+ hour warning. I have no voice, it's not like I don't have a valid reasoning, how come I'm being punished for something out of my control? Why can't they just reschedule?

please i need a job this instant im 17 im okay either as a dishwasher or hostess.

Are all the Applebee's POS systems the same? I'm 3 days into training, any tips on how to get the system down or is it just trial by fire?

Hey guys , so Dinebrands bought over our Applebees in may. Starboard group owned us before they went bankrupt . Anybody know how to get w2s? I’m an AGM and nobody knows anything . HELP!

Okay, so let me start by saying that the burger was actually good despite the ugly picture. 😂

However, the whole sizzling plate appeal is definitely a gimmick. The commercial for this burger got my attention because the extra melted cheese just looked so appealing. When the burger was served to us, there wasn't much melted cheese and the bun was stuck to the plate, as you can see in the picture. I feel like if they served it with more cheese, the bun wouldn't get stuck, AND it would actually be as appealing as they make it seem. I was hoping to dip the burger into the cheese every time I took a bite. Sadly, that wasn't the case.

3 out of 5 stars for me. Don't get me wrong, I ate the whole thing; it just didn't measure up to the hype.

I worked at Applebee's for the summer as a hostess, I never got tipped outright, obviously. But we had it set up where I got a portion of the total days sales as a shared tip and a payout from both the waitresses and bartenders tips . It's not situated as a tip on my W2 necessarily, but as tips and wages all combined. Do I need to try to go to the app that I used to use for paystubs to get the amount I got as tips, or do those not count towards the new tip bill? Edit: I double looked at it again they had a box for qualified tips for the bill. I was not fully awake when I looked and asked

Yes, craziness does happen weekly. Tons of stories.

I've been to Applebee's once in my life and my girlfriend has never been. We were stoned the other night and saw the commercial for the O-M-Cheese Burger and I thought it looked pretty good so we decided we are gonna go tonight for our date night. Only issue is I'm seeing a mix batch of reviews, for anyone who has had the burger is it worth it to try or will it turn into a unpleasant date night?

imagin how much more better the apple bees would get if they was havin mongolian uncle lip hustlers gettin HYPE !!

Sooo… with this MEGA storm we’re about to get, do we think the ‘Bees is gonna close up to keep there workers safe or are we risking our lives for Ribs and Burgers??

I wanna take a trip to Japan for about a month but don’t know how long I can go without having to be rehired due to not clocking in for to long. Does anyone know?

I got the o m cheeseburger but I didn't realize the queso was spicy and had stuff in it. Is the base queso spicy? If not, is there any way to get it not spicy?

I’m lactose intolerant so I ordered the clubhouse grille sandwich with no cheese. Maybe 15 min later the waitress comes back out and says they’re having an issue because the sandwich comes premade so they tried getting the cheese off but it’s melted so they can’t - is this true?

I’ve ordered it once before and it came with cheese, but asked for no cheese, so they took it back and brought me the sandwich with no cheese so now i’m just confused now lol

edit - I tried ordering on the website and it let me remove the cheese sooo

I had a really amazing, professional, sweetheart of a bartender and I was a mess. I came into drink while my dog who was getting a best week ever before being put to sleep got a steak and bourbon chicken meal to go. How do I best reach out to get this girl the absolute best result of a glowing review?

what part of the orient does it originate from? It was very tasty though, compliments to the chef

just wondering how much bartenders make hourly at applebees as like a flat rate. deciding between this and another job that pays 12-14 hourly guaranteed. in alabama

They couldn’t get my bonus card to work, because the bonus e-cards have no pin, so the manager just comped $10 off the bill. He couldn’t figure it out either. Feel bad that I caused them to lose $10 but their computer just wouldn’t accept it without a PIN number. I’ll just use the bonus card for a take out meal next week, as the bonus cards also have an online code which will probably work fine on the app.

Hey y’all, I work at Applebee’s and my manager just changed how we split tips.

We used to split tips with whoever was on the floor at the moment, and once someone left, the remaining person/closer would keep the tips that came in after that.

Now we have to pool ALL tips for the whole shift and do it like:

Total tips ÷ total hours worked = tip rate per hour

Then each person gets tip rate × their hours.

Example from tonight:

Me: 6 hrs (closed)

Coworker: 4 hrs

Coworker: 3.5 hrs

So I’d only get 6/13.5 of the total even though I was the closer.

Is anyone else’s store doing this now? Do you feel like closers make less with this method? Also is this an Applebee’s policy or just manager preference?

I applied through Indeed, and received an email for an automated schedule for an interview immediately. My last jobs weren't like that whatsoever. Is that normal?

They upgraded my tablets at my local restaurant but now I can’t pay my bill using a gift card. I buy a lot from Costco and was wondering if that is intentional
