Chili's employee AMA

Before we get into this:
If it says made from scratch or house-made on the menu, it actually is
All desserts come frozen
I don't know why it's gross

>> No.9756028

I've never been to chili's and my friends always used to talk about how good it was in high school but since i graduated i haven't heard the word chili's once. i dont think there's a chili's around me for miles. what is happening? what's it like in there?

>> No.9756032

>>9756011
Are the burgers made there?

>> No.9756056

>>9756028
It's Americanized tex-mex (add cheese and ranch to things) and it's slightly over-priced. Maybe a little more than Applebees. It's higher quality than Taco Bell and probably most actual Mexican places too. It's worth trying a few times; I recommend the tacos above anything else.

>>9756032
The burgers come raw and frozen as thick patties we have to press down ourselves.

Like I said, it's worth trying more than once starting with tacos. The burgers are pretty good too but definitely order at non-busy times.

We prefer apps as entrees because it's easier but honestly unless you get a well done steak, nothing is a problem to make

For the original crispers we use tempura batter actually so it gives it a flaky, fluffy fry. It is worth noting however that we use chicken breast, not tenderloin

The one near my house is hiring. Two questions

A.) Do you think they'd take me if I could only work Saturday, Sunday, and Monday?

B.) What do I say on my application to get hired? I just need a part time job to supplement my regular work and because I want experience to write a book and haven't worked as a server before.

>> No.9757150

>>9757094
Probably not, most restaurants (chains specifically) want completely open availability. Just be prepared to get shit hours if you don't have that.

The last chain I worked at had me working less than forty hours a week, and only gave me one day off simply because I needed to work opening shifts.

I FUCKING LOVE Chili’s man. I’ve never had a dish there I didn’t like. I’m guessing this one in particular is probably a premade one, but what’s the recipe for that honey chipotle sauce they put on the chicken tenders? I usually go for a steak or a fajita, but sometimes I order the honey chipotle chicken tenders because they’re better than they have any right to be.

Ruby Tuesday's is the best of the fake neighborhood restaurants by far, even though I feel like an old person when I eat there

Definitely Chili's
Chicken tacos

>>9756660
No but it is to my understanding other employees do shit out back

>>9757028
The salsa is watery, canned-tier garbage and we even semi-make it

>>9757051
I have incredible confidence in my job security because Chili's has been around for ~40 years and has more restaurants in the corporation

>>9757094
They'll give anyone a chance but of course more so if you're experienced. Also *try* for Fridays as that's the busiest day for any restaurant

>>9757178
I will admit the honey-chipotle is good but it isn't house-made. It does come bagged but that's no reason not to enjoy it. A general rule in restaurants with larger menus is trying to maintain consistency so it's probably a good thing. Also don't get steak fajitas, the meat is low quality skirt steak with a marinade already on it. Get shrimp, or, if you have the money, ask for a sirloin fajita.

The eggrolls come frozen. They are actually bean, corn, pepper, and chicken burritos that we deep fry. Hence the lack of any actual eggroll ingredients.

Just heard stories. There is ample opportunities and spots in the back area.

I always get the triple dipper with SW eggrolls, boneless honey chipotle wings in some combo of 1/3 and 2/3, and a fresco salad with the lime vinaigrette
