      Pros

      Great for someone just starting in the waitressing field since, mostly you are just bussing tables. Guest get their own drinks and food.

      Tips are not the greatest, lots of times people don't tip @ buffets.

      Advice to Management

      Sooner or later you wll run out of people willing to work for you. Your prices are to high and people want the old corral back where you can spend 25.00 for 2 people to eat. Cut out the extras and the extravigance. The people you feed will eat anything you put in front of them. Invest more in your store operations and employees or you will be another Ryans in 5 years
