OT: Anyone work(ed) at Cracker Barrel??

[llori7]

I applied at CB a couple months ago. I got called for an interview (for a server) and I go tomorrow! I put on the application, that I am only available Saturday and Sunday mornings. I used to work at the Outback, so I have lots of serving experience. I was wondering, what can you tell about the job: Do you leave with your tips right away? Or do you get them in your paycheck? Is there extensive training? Do you have to memorize (be tested) on the menu? What are the shifts like? Are they flexible as far as taking off? I am trying to compare it to the Outback--We took our money home at the end of the night, but we cashed everyone out ourselves. We had to do classrooms and lots of training. We had menu and liquor tests.

Anything you can tell me would help out a lot!! Thanks so much!!

I worked there in college. You take your cash tips at the end of the night. I'm having a hard time remembering about your cc tips. You don't have to handle any of the checks as people pay at the front. There is some menu training, but it is in stages. The stars on the aprons show how much have passed off on the test.
