Ruth's-Chris-Steak-House

Working at this location as a full time dishwasher was stressful and not a fun place to work. The tip pool averaged $10 a week for each dishwasher and the tip out for the servers was 7% of sales, clearly management is lining their pockets instead of passing the tips to the hardworking back of house staff. 

You frequently work functions where there is no gratuity at all that is passed to the back of house. Functions of up to 500 people are regular and the dish pit is understaffed. Those that do work with you are older, lazier workers and the management doesn't seem to care about their lack of performance. 

You are frequently sent home early and there is no reliable hours at this location. Your paycheck is never consistent. Seniority doesn't seem to matter either. 

In short, it is not worth working here given the amount of work you must do and the poor tips you do receive.

You can start well, your training is alright, and you always start on a busy rather than a slow day. How is one supposed to learn anything if it’s busy, and that too on your first training day? I started with positivity and eagerness to learn and do better. I did everything I was asked to do, and in return, I was just used, abused, and tossed aside. The moment you say “No” is the moment they start pushing and testing how far they can strain you mentally until you quit. They don’t care if you have another job or school cause it’s all about them, them, them

A typical day at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse was always a learning experience, each day is different, some really busy and challenging others very smooth and exciting. If you are someone who works in the industry, you know how it is. I learned great social skills from meeting so many different personalities. The workplace culture was very friendly and felt like a family. The hardest part to the job at times was juggling many things at once, both mentally and physically. The best part was working with a great team, learning everyday, growing within the company and making awesome income.

Coworkers were always a reason to go in, but management over worked you and underpaid for your efforts. Asking for raises came with disgust, and your complaints were brushed under the carpet. Hours would disappear from your paycheque and often times you’d find management had clocked you out before you even finished your shift, sometimes hours early. Correcting these hours would takes weeks. There was a large communication problem all around. While efforts were made to fix these, lower level employees were often overlooked. Good workers quit monthly. They didn’t know how to keep employees

For a company that marks up their products by over 200 percent, I was expecting more than just above minimum wage. Despite my drive to work, I was never offered a raise or praise for going above and beyond. Management refuses to acknowledge their poor choice in hiring and frequently chose to hire underqualified workers. 

This restaurant is the reason I left the culinary industry. 

If you are looking for an easy job, stay away but if you love the industry and want to help grow a restaurant, go ahead and try.

I gained a vast amount of knowledge in my employment with Ruth's Chris. What I liked most about my job was the family environment, we had servers that had surpassed my 12 year employment with 20 years on the job. That is a testament to the amazing director of operations that also was with the company for over 20 years.

I really enjoyed creating and maintaining the wine list. Ordering, tasting, learning seminars...all a passion of mine!

Not quite what I expected.
With a 7% tip out of your read plus an additional tip oUT to food runner and server assistant it's next to impossible to make money.
Banquets often go on your paycheck with no clear acounting of what function is was.....many go unpaid.
Time off is easy.request it and it's given. 
But if your thinking a high end steakhouse think again.most guests come in with coupons or vouchers that the server has to tip out on......the turnover in staff is massive.

At Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Edmonton, the restaurant is built in a Heritage Building that was once a bank. Our historic setting includes private dining in former bank vaults surrounded by two feet of concrete and six-ton vault doors, yet with a very spacious feeling. Fireplaces in our cozy dining room and lounge create a very relaxing setting that is ideal for an important business dinner, a romantic evening of fine dining or an incredible meal before the game.

Management is quite good, they and the whole team have made me feel very welcome and comfortable and it's a very family like environment. The restaurant does get fully booked quite often and those nights can be stressful, but it helps having an encouraging team reminding you you're doing great!

A typical day consists of waiting on guest in a professional manner; offer menu advice and build a connection with guests. Ensure the complete satisfaction of everyone you encounter. 
I feel that working as a team is important and could be stressed more throughout the company. The hardest part of the job was how little I was able to utilize all my skills. I enjoy building great experiences and offering new information to the guest.
