The last job I had, which is also my current one, is working as a server at Red Robin. Looking back at the job description, here’s a portion of what it included:
“You will be responsible for taking orders using a POS system, serving food and drinks in a timely and accurate manner, and delivering a fun and satisfying dining experience to guests. This role is part of the Front of House service team, so great customer service skills are a must. In addition to base pay, you will have great earning opportunities through tips. Must be 18 or older.”
This description definitely influenced my decision to apply. I liked the emphasis on a fun environment and the opportunity to earn tips, which made the job sound engaging and rewarding. I was also drawn to the fast-paced nature of the role. I enjoy staying busy and working with a team.
Now that I’ve been in the position for a while, I can honestly say that the job description was spot on. My day-to-day tasks match what was described: I take orders using the POS system, serve food and drinks promptly, and do my best to make sure guests leave happy. My manager’s expectations also align closely with what was outlined in the posting.
Overall, there haven’t been any major surprises, which is actually a really good thing. It’s been refreshing to have a job that delivered exactly what was promised. It’s clear, fast-paced, and fun, just like they said it would be.
