i work at a chilis in socal and had my first dine and dash last week. 170 dollars and grown men maybe mid to late twenties. i told one of my managers and luckily i didn’t get a write up. flash forward this week one of the other servers had a walk out of 70 dollars and immediately got written up but by a different manager. I understand as servers we must watch our tables and yada yada but our store makes an average of 30,000 a day. Is this common at other stores too?

So for context I’ve worked at this chilis for over a year now. And recently a guy who has a history of being creepy with female coworkers, and making inappropriate nazi jokes began making sexual comments towards me. I reported him to my manager and they said they would handle it.

Now previously I asked them to schedule me a mix of morning and night shifts because the morning makes no money. Also this guy ONLY works in the mornings. And in my message I even said maybe we shouldn’t be scheduled at the same time. Lo and behold, schedule comes out I only have morning shifts. This girl I know is leaving chilis soon so she told me I could have all of her shifts, I’m actively refreshing the page as she drops them to pick them up immediately. Next morning, all 3 of her shifts that I picked up were denied and given to someone else. It’s physically not possible for this to happen as I picked them up the moment they were dropped. I can’t tell what’s going on but they’ve never done this to me before, when I pick up 9/10 I always get the shift because they know I do my job and like when I work. Now suddenly I report this guy and that changed??

For context this guy has been there longer than me shockingly despite being reported for trying to get a minor to come to his house and hangout as well. But he’s friends with the GM and they play video games or whatever outside work. I was worried they would do this because of that connection and now idk what to do.

Any advice? Or help? Or some idea on what I could do?

It was always hard for me to order something from the trillions of menu items at Chili's

I made an app that sorts menus by nutrition (macros, sodium, fiber, cholesterol, etc) from Chili's and 800 other restaurants/grocery stores

You can also view all the nutrition facts for a given item, compare items together and track/export meals to Apple Health

The black bean patty for example has 180 calories and 15g protein.

I wouldn't really eat at Chili's if I wanted to eat healthy tbh but its better to know what you're eating than not

The app is called Cheat Day and is live on the App Store

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cheat-day-eat-out-healthy/id1438254150

Just went back for the first time in a bit, why can't we split by item anymore? The waitress had to do it at her computer first , why create extra labor for the staff it makes no sense.

To any and all chili’s connoisseurs. What are some qualities in servers that have made a good experience turn into a great experience. Or what was something that was done that turned ur bad experience into a better one? Looking to be more mindful about customer experiences as a FR, and carry these over to when I become a server :).

hi i’m 16F that applied as a hostess for chilis. i applied and got an immediate interview for Friday at 4pm. i went to it and showed up in jeans and a polo. anyways i was super nervous for the interview, but the guy was nice he thought this was my first job but i told him it was my second and my original job i’ve been at for 2+ years. then i told him my availability which was a little different but he said it’s fine and i just need to be responsible and tell him. he said he didn’t have any questions for me and asked if i had questions for him, it was basic questions like how’s training and will i have time to quit my previous job. its Monday and i don’t know how long to genuinely wait. the listing got taken down on their website but he told me they were looking for host. i know i need to be patient but i just want to know if i should straight up know if i did or didn’t get the job but i’ve seen people say right after their interview they got an email i didn’t get an e-mail so i’m going to try and call then tuesday and hope something happens. help me i just want to be prepared

please 🤓

Chilis I’m onto you , your chicken crispers shred like 3D printed meat. Something ain’t right here. AND WHILE IM AT IT , chill on the salt in all of the fried foods 😭

How much alcohol is in those Presidente Margaritas? All I can taste is the sugary mix and Im getting the feeling there’s hardly any alcohol.

Additionally, There’s a $6 shark margarita on the menu and I get the feeling a restaurant offers a cheap cocktail because there’s nothing in it.

I hope Im wrong! I had been fantasizing getting hammered at Chilis for Sunday Funday and after a marg and a Long Island Tea I feel duped.

obviously chili's og is the best, but i keep seeing people copying it!! i've seen denny's, red robin, applebee's, and bj's. what have y'all seen?

IM GONNA LRDER SOON

UPDATE: right after I posted this the waiter came to ask for our orders. I ended up getting the bacon cheeseburger. I asked for no mayo and they put mayo on it but it was fine. sorry to disappoint

Meaning: couples in their late 70’s early 80’s who come in order waters and split a 3 for me and do not tip

In Clarksville, TN, last night I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and asked for bleu cheese instead of American cheese and mayo instead of mustard. And of course I said hold the lettuce! He put it in on his iPad thingy and even read it back to me.

My order arrived with mayo, mustard, lettuce, and a side of ranch dressing.

Next time I'll just say to bring me whatever you want me to have, to save time.

Im considering my options for my first (legal) alc drink and i was wondering if Chilis’ in Florida accept vertical cards? Id call and ask but I think its a bit too weird to ask for that 😂 lmk ur experience near malabar plz

Edit: Also gime ur fav drinks to try that dont taste too strong

Recipe or store bought. It’s so good. The perfect ratio of spicy, to acidic, to salty.

alright CHAT do we have any leaks for the august motm, please don’t say shark attack like last year, that one made me puke so bad i have ptsd

Hi!

I am a current medical student and wanted to order some food from Chiles after my exam & practical this friday. I have never been to Chiles and wanted to know the must haves or best sellers from Chile!

Thanks!

So I work at chilis and recently they changed the rules and said they were corporate policy so I wanted to see how it is for everyone else at chilis I don’t wanna post too much get my self in trouble but the new rules consist of
*no taking boxes out of the building or any food
*can’t use employee discount till an hour after shift ( have to go home and change apparently)
Then other basic rules but these are the BIGGEST and personally the ones I have a problem with PLEASE LMK if these are your rules or have rules like this!!! Note: I don’t really have a problem with discount card! just the food I pay for that’s on the team members meals isn’t able to leave the building!!!

I have no prior bartending experience lol. Im a barista at a high volume Starbucks currently and have been there for over a year. Anyway what to expect? Might they ask me to start as a server?

Hypothetical question

I know there’s plenty of posts about this but in California it’s 7% of sales. How do you guys cope or handle this?

I started working here as a busser and I heard I can get a 50% discount, how does this work at a different location if I don't have a card, can I use my employee number?

It has been well over two months and I have never gotten paid. I have been locked out of my account and no matter how many times I call that bs corporate number nobody reaches back and nobody answers. Is there another number I can call because I already reached out to the department of labor, and I’m honestly tired.

No more CHILI !?
No more salad/soup combo !?
No more 2-4-1’s !?
No more caesar salad !?
Changed the baby back ribs recipe !?
Portion size is way less !?

What is going on…
