Pros
Free food whenever Extremely flexible schedule Awesome regulars and coworkers
Cons
Terrible management they don’t care about employees. Store shut down for covid 19 and employees were left to fend for themselves receiving no hazard pay, no compensation. While other companies paid employees for at least the hours left on the schedule WH did not. Employees are struggling to make rent yet they couldn’t care less.

Hi there, Our servers make a tipped wage of a minimum of $2.92/hour - this does not include tips (in GA, the tipped minimum wage is $2.13/hour). Base hourly rate changes depending on the shift and there are additional bonuses to be had as well. If you are not making at least the minimum wage in your state through tips ($7.25/hour in GA), please complete a tip log with your manager so that we can make up any difference necessary. Thank you!
