I start talking about orientation at 3:38 😇
Had my first shift today. Only a two table section for a Friday day shift. Walked out with $105 cash! Not too shabby for two table section. I could’ve easily made $130+ with a third table. Had multiple compliments to the manager also!
That’s awesome! Glad it’s going well 🙏🏻✨
How did you make 105

Do they assign how many tables u get?
Do they pay good
I applied for a job interview tomorrow for being a hostess. It could be my potential first job, so I wanna break out of my shyness with people and speak more. I'm nervous. 😰
I’m sure you’ll do great! 💞
im in your predicament right noww, howd it go!!???
@@cruz.c same I have a interview on Wednesday
@@kristianaelise4932 good luck... reading mark mansons 'the subtle art of not giving a fuck' really changed my perspective on feeling nervous about shit, maybe check it out
did it go well?@@kristianaelise4932
Thanks for this video. I just applied at a Olive Garden and got an email saying to call them. I’m so nervous but this video helped.
You got this! 🤞🏼
Praveen Sriram I did not.
Praveen Sriram Thank you 🙏
I just got an email to call them too 😭😭 I’m nervous what did they say and ask you on the phone?? It’s my first time doing anything like this 😭😭
@@tzarrhiarice6387 I GOT ONE TOOO what did you do 😭
Glad to hear they train you :)
As a server at olive garden this video is very relatable lol orientation was a bit different but everything else seemed on point to what I went through lol
Hi OG fam 🤪💞
How did it go? I have orientation tomorrow for being a server
@@G1gg3lz420 did you get the job? how did it go?
I start orientation on Monday, and I’m excited but nervous! Never in a million years did I think I’d go back to serving after attaining a teaching degree including my master’s degree also, but I’m looking forward to it! ❤️
I wish I could go back! I’m furloughed due to covid still :( I work at the bank rn & it does not compare to serving!
@@DesireeMischelle are you still furloughed?
I just quit teaching again and I’m interviewing next week for a position. I’m almost 40. Wondering if it’s worth it
@@Lillyjpotter Me too!!! I just applied to olive garden. I quit teaching 10th grade
did you get the job? also is ur name a harry potter reference lol
@@TheNeonOption it is a reference. And no, I didn’t get it.
Needed this video, very helpful!! thank you 😊
I’ve been working at my OG for 6 almost 7 months and I love it but all I do is roll silverware and I don’t host often anymore which I find weird
I'm at ihop 2 weeks so far and i never knew how much work it is to be a waiter :O so much multi tasking and sometimes forgetting things lolz but the tips are good
I have my interview tomorrow sooo nervous! Girl I see u have acrylics on don’t know if u still work at Olive do they allow acrylics??
Yes, they do at my location! All locations are different tho! Hope your interview went well!
At 5:45 I have to say that managers will complain more about the number of bread sticks servers are giving to their guests. They would NEVER complain about improperly holding the trays. I got injured and I wish I filed that as a workers comp injury. Managers kissed my ass when I returned after taking a 1 month leave of absence.
They over hire people, knowing that only 4 out of 12 trainees will stay.
Good to know
Around how much in tip would you get at olive garden a day ? Lol Ima work there soon
just got a job there today on my second interview 🥺 thanks for this video! i have orientation tmr.
So on the second interview ,they ask more questions?
My 2nd interview in like 6 hrs from now. It’s 5 a.m. here
what did they do on your 2nd interview?
Hey just got hired as a server! Your vids helped tons! I'm just wondering, when training what do you get paid hourly? State min wage or like the server min wage at like $4.50?
Glad I could help! I live in California so it’s required that servers get paid state minimum wage. I’m not sure about the laws in your state, sorry!
@@DesireeMischelle ok, thanks. You helped me a lot. Hope your youtube channel thrives in the future!
Thank you!!
@@DesireeMischelle I wanna apply for a Togo specialist but I don’t really kno a description for the job do Yk what they are responsible for
@@3xtimess391 you still need to know? lol
I love The way you explained everything and were completely honest about your experience. Thanks girl , this helped Tremendously 🙂
I have a interview at my Olive Garden on Monday. Thanks for the tips!
Good luck! 🙏🏻✨
Did you get it? cuz I have mines Wednesday
did you get the job
@@theflyonpenceshead7479 did you get the job
@@chaesoolili yeah
I am applying to be a busser. I am not fastest person. I want to learn by practice cooking for myself. And cleaning. I enjoy server's company. And compliments for the chef. I ask questions when . I don't know what to do.
How is it or was it?
I'm confuse do you tip out 2.5 out of your sales or your tips? Because what if your sales is $500 so you have to pay them around $15! It's better if they take 2.5 out of your tips
Do they give you tables? R u assigned tables or you have to grab them as people come in? Also do you keep all your tip money?
The host is supposed to assign them tables
I have an interview tomorrow for prep cook I'm nervous I'm 23 but I may not get to taste any drinks since it's the kitchen so kinda irked now lol
I got an Interview in a few hours and I'm so nervous but this helped quite a bit
Hope it went well!
@@DesireeMischellethank you it went pretty well they said they should be contacting me in the next few days!
Yay!! So happy! I’m sure you got the job 🙌🏻
@@victorvizcarrondo2094 hey congrats! i have an interview with them too do you remember what questions they asked you? Thank you
I’m happy I came across your videos know I know what to expect😉
Glad I could help!!
i have an interview as a to go specialist, im so nervous. i heard this position requires processing payments and i dont like the register like at all i have a fear of it.
When you go for paperwork do you wear the uniform or regular clothes? 💕
Yes, wear your uniform!
Desiree Mischelle thank you beautiful!
Why didn't you just return the work pants and get them that fit you?
I applied back for a job interview at Olive garden for the sever position they pay ever week $18 an hour up until $ 24 I'm looking forward to it I never been a sever I wonder what's its like I'm 23
Depends where you live. Happy you’re looking forward to it. I wish the pandemic was over so I can go back to work :(
I got the job and I’m nervous because the GM said he’s trusting my personality and initiative despite having ZERO server experience, which is unheard of. Any tips for someone with no experience ?
Really focus on studying the menu. That will take you a long way if you know the ingredients & everything that comes w it. Ask for help when you need it & just do your best. You’ll be fine. I had no serving experience as well. Goodluck & congrats on the job 🙏🏻✨
Desiree Mischelle Thank you so much. I feel like I’m on a tight leash because I have no experience and the GM decided to take a shot w me simply bc of my personality. Thank youuuu
Just recently hired at olive garden i really like its my 1st restaurant job I worked my 1st training day opening shift, Do employees always have to buzz in from the side or can you enter through the main entrance?
How is it now that 4 months have past?
I know this is a 2yr old video but... will it go against you in orientation if you need a gluten free diet due to a wheat allergy?..
Do they make you try all the food or you don’t have to?
They bring out a lot of the food & im sure you can decline it if you don’t want to eat it. I just ate around the things I didn’t like (mushrooms).
I applied a few months ago and I finally got a call back today I have an interview tomorrow I’m so nervous and do not know what to expect.
Good luck!! ✨✨
Yeah sameeeeee
what questions did they ask, i have an interview tmr and i’m nervous 🥲
Ayyy Olive Garden family
I have orientation tomorrow but they didn’t tell me to go dressed like that now I’m stressing Bc I don’t have a body button shirt 😭
Oh no!!! Hope you found one!! Target or Walmart is where I shop for the convenience!!
I have my orientation today, but I still working at my current job and my last day working there will be next Thursday. I’m so stressed out bc I have to call off :(
I read in the job description " High performing management teams and a select number of team members have the opportunity to win a trip to Italy." Did you have a chance to win a trip to Italy or do you know anyone who won a trip?
Yes! Both of my managers have been on the trip but I don’t know any servers that have lol
What’s better hostess or server
As a part time job do they give u 8 hours daily and is it direct deposit or check...and what are your days
Whew wish me luck I have a interview tomorrow 😩❤️
Good luck!! You got this! 🙏🏻✨
did they only take tips for training? Or do you not make tips period
love this video btw!
Yes, they only take the tips during training! After training, you keep all of your tips besides the 2.5% you tip out!
Does olive garden dishwashers clean the deep fryers? Or bring the washed cups to the bar? I applied as a dishwasher at olive garden just until I start my real estate license and become a agent. But I wanna know what the dishwasher position does. Haven't seen alot do videos on that yet
how did the job go? I got an interview for dishwasher at OG today
okay this is a dumb question but i have orientation tmr at 7:30. orientation is quicker than the training right? like just paperwork? so it would be 7:30 pm not am? i could just text the person but maybe it’s a dumb question it all happened so fast lol.
Hi girly, I would assume it’s in the morning but I’m not sure. Orientation takes a while tbh. Mine was in the afternoon around 4-5pm but I didn’t leave until around 9. My first week of training/orientation, I went in at 8am. I would call & ask to be sure since it could be either one. Better safe than sorry!
Desiree Mischelle thank youu you’re right haha i’ll text them!
I’m confused what you mean they keep your tips ?
I start orientation Thursday!!!
So exciting 🤩
Hi, when you worked at Olive Garden did u keep tips ? And if you did, did you have to split them?
Sorry for the late reply but yes, you keep your tips! You tip out 2.5% of your sales
@@DesireeMischelle what does tip out mean
@@alexiaarroyo4630 like tipping the people who help you like bussers/bus boys etc
I applied for Olive Garden I really hope I can get an interview ❤
How was the interview was it one cause I heard some says it's 3
i applied to olive garden and i just got the job. is there a dress code for the orientation? i have no clue!
Hi girly! Yes, you have to wear your uniform for orientation!
I wonder how much of applies to me considering I getting interviewed to be a dishwasher or busboy
Same here i have an interview for a busser and wanna know what to expect. This was good info tho
i just hired and this was helpful.
Glad I could help! 💞
do the host eat too or just the servers? lmao i just got hired as a hostess and i didnt t know what to expect for the orientation.
Pretty sure you’ll be able to eat too hehe
i just got hired at olive garden as a hostess.. how is it ? lol
Me too omg I'm so nervous tomorrow is my orientation
@@jennaturner833 how did it go?! tomorrow is my first day for training as a host haha
*rule number one*
Never put your sled in front of a green screen, people can literally do anything with that and if you ever blow up that could be dangerous
your self *
Thanks for the suggestion 🙏🏻
Was your orientation for a Server role? I have an interview for a Hostess role this Friday..
I’m starting my orientation pretty soon! Well in a few days, what do you wear for orientation?
congrats i just got hired as a server there !!
congrats i just got hired as a server there !!
what did you wear?
Do hostess also try the food?
I got a call from them today and they interviewed me on the phone and I just woke up and I think I did soooo horrible 😭 she asked me why I wanted the job and I said because it seemed easy and simple for me and it is my first time applying for a job and I like the community and that I would just feel comfortable working there and while I was talking I said the word “like” a lot and I don’t even use that word a lot 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i don’t think I’m gunna get a call back , what do you guys think 🤦🏻♀️
i got a call too! they asked me at the end what day i was available to go in and actually meet for a face to face interview حيدر علي
Praveen Sriram no lol 😐 they said if I’m available to talk face to face and I said yes anytime that they want and they said we will give u a call back and never did
Omg literally SAMEEEEE
اهلين
حصلت الشغل لو لا 🙂
So the tips we make we dont keep them ?
I have a interview lm Thursday 😅
No, you keep your tips! Depending on your trainer, you don’t keep your tips DURING TRAINING (only one week long w like 2 times being out on the floor) 😊 after that, you keep them & you tip out 2.5% to the bussers/bartenders
@@DesireeMischelle oh okay thank you so much ☺️☺️☺️
I just got the job and my orientation today
Congrats!!🎉 hope you like it!
This is my first job can I still apply?
Yes 😊
my hostess interview is tomorrow!! sooo nervous lol
edit: I got the job! orientations tomorrow:)
So happy for you girly!!! I hope you love it! 💛
what question did they ask you??
What did you wear? My interview is tmr and I’m nervous
@@jaylaforbes8501 i just wore a long nice sleeved shirt with some slacks, and flats!
@@jazmineelliott2407 omg thank you! i was so frantic on what to wear lol
I have my orientation in 2 hours and I'm nervous!! Thanks for the video though 😊

Edit : I got the job !!!
How is it ?
Congrats!!! 🎉
@@Starvemaxxer good as long as you show that your able to work fast paced and be a good worker let them know you are serious about working
What kind of questions did they ask? I have my interview tomorrow and I'm so nervous
@@jennym1562 I’m sorry I just saw this but I just googled olive gardens interview questions and practiced the night before my manager asked the same question on the google page
Can you wear makeup at Olive Garden? Like eyebrows and press powder
yes!
Hope im not too late! I have a interview wednesday but im only 18 and the alcohol serving age is 19 can i still be a server and a bartender bring it? Or will i not get the job.. pls help😢
i’m not too sure! In CA, you only need to be 18 to serve alcohol.. i think. they might offer you a different position like to-go if you’re not qualified for the other positions
The tips is that in every location??
I believe so!
I don't know i have bad carpet tunnel im worried now 😟
I have an interview today at Olive Garden as a hostess. Im so nervous!!
I do too and I’m super nervous
Hope you got the job!! 🙏🏻
Did you get the job
How did it go
do you keep your tips after your training?
Yes!
I have my job interview today 😅i don’t know what to wear nor do i don’t even know what to say to answer question I hope my shyness dosent embarras me
I hope it went well girly 🙏🏻✨
Hi, I have my orientation in a few days. I’m a hostess. How do they keep their hair? Does it have to be in a ponytail/bun? Or can you wear your hair down?
how did it go?? i’ve yet to schedule my hostess interview i’m so unprepared 😭
@@tthede6115 it was good. I got the job instantly. It was super easy questions and only took 5 mins for me. I’m still working there and love my hosting job.
@@EstherLove hey congrats! I just got an interview for the hostess too, could you tell me what responsibilities you have as a host?
@@jeanne9571 take out the trash when it’s needed, Seat guest at tables or booths, pick up phone calls from guest, roll silverware and use the computer to put guest on the wait list and seating guest by table number on the computer. That’s just what a hosting job does. It might be different in other olive gardens, but that is what I do. The important thing is to remember the table numbers by head. My Olive Garden is kind of big, so it was very hard remembering the table numbers at first, but it took a week to remember and a month to learn the computer. They will give you the whole floor in paper to memorize the table numbers. It’s a really good starting job if you’re in school. They do well to accommodate your schedule.
@@jeanne9571 also I almost forgot, I communicate with the managers, bussers, other host using a radio and ear piece.
I have a interview on Monday for Olive Garden 😂
Good luck!! 😊
Did you get it?😊
Did they allow you to have acrylic nails as a waitress?
Yes, they did 😊
Thanks for the info I got my orientation at olive garden monday
Glad I could help, hope it went well 😇
@@DesireeMischelle was Fine i start working for them now
Do they do background checks? As a Busser
Any tips on being a host?
No, sorry! I’ve never been trained for that position :(
Hopefully someone will see your comment & give some advice!
I have an interview tomorrow for a hostess job...im nervous lol
I’m sure it went well mamas 🙏🏻✨
i have one tomorrow too, what did they ask you/make you do?
I have an interview this week, and I’ve never been a server... I’m honestly so freaking nervous 😩
How many tables do you get per day?
Good luck!! & it really depends on how fast your tables turn, how long you’re there, & how busy the restaurant is. But you get 2-3 table at a time when you’re new
I’m new and it’s my first job what should I do?
LifeWithJasPlus3 • how did it go ? i start monday
You are so cute❤you remind me of Brenda from general hospital😘I have an interview tomorrow at 4:15 pm at my local olive garden wish me luck beautiful❤
I’m very confused about this tip thing. How did you end up owing one dollar? Aren’t tips like something that you keep for yourself. I understand that you had to give your tips to your trainee but I still don’t understand how you ended up negative
We have to tip out 2.5% of our sales to the bussers & bartenders. I didn’t receive any tips that night & the computers just assume if they didn’t tip through credit, they tipped cash. So regardless if I did or didn’t, I still have to tip out 2.5% of my sales
@@DesireeMischelle is that legal? 😅especially in california i feel like they cant expect you to pay them for not receiving tips
I got hired to be a hostess and my orientation is Wednesday.
How is it?
How was it
How much did you get paid
Minimum wage plus tips
do hosts make tips?
Only if you’re also doing togos or serving!
I have my interview tomorrow, wish me luck!
I have mine tomorrow!! Did you have yours yet? I'm really scared they'll ask me questions I'm not ready for 😅
@@jennym1562 I got hired! Easily one of the most chill interviews I’ve had.
@@Miss_christie1217 I have mines Wednesday and I’m 16. I applied for to go specialist, any tips on the interview and can you tell me the questions they’re gonna ask you
@@theflyonpenceshead7479 hi i had a hostess interview but maybe i can help! it was super easy and relaxed. they asked me why olive garden, about previous work experience (i had none), if team work is a concern for me, and why i want to be a hostess. they also asked about my hours/availability. it was only around 10-15 minutes long and i got hired even without any experience. you got this!!!!
@@kayleighburns1037 I GOT HIRED!!! THX
Just got hired orientation Monday as a busser any tips
Heyy any updates? I’m going in for an interview today and I wanna know how’s the job?
Im 16 and im applying to olive garden🤭
Let me know how it goes bcz I’m turning 16 next month and I’m most likely gonna apply there
I hope they call you 🙏🏻✨
Im 16 and I applied too 😭😭
@@tzarrhiarice6387 how is it update me and I want to apply and do I need any type of skill set to work there
quick question lol , were you a waitress or a hostess ? i got hired friday and have orientation wednesday 😩😩😩
hey congrats! i have an interview with them too do you remember what questions they ask?? Thank you!
Hey girl question! Is this your first servering job? And you got it?!!
Waitress!
What’s the dress code for a hostess?
All black as well. I think they should send you like a pdf w all the info to your email. Not sure but you could also find it on the internet
Olive Garden where they have a dress code but they don't give a s*** whether or not you do drugs in Daytona Beach where you can smoke meth From Dusk Till Dawn
Same in the south hills of Pittsburgh.
Hey gorgeous, do you know what interview questions they ask? I applied and I’m really nervous!
i have my interview tomorrow and i was wondering the same thing!!
@@hannahcheng2593 lol I had mine yesterday tmrw I got an orientation cuz I’m 16 but they asked me like how will I build trust with the other employees, what does hard work mean to me, in what instances did I help someone and how did I come about on helping them, was their a time that you exceeded your and someone else’s expectations, and they ask you to tell them about yourself and that’s really all they asked me
I have an interview tmrw morning
Good luck!! 🙏🏻
i have an orientation in 2 days as a dishwasher
That’s awesome!! Hope you like the job 🙏🏻✨
@@DesireeMischelle do i get payed during an orientation as a dishwasher?
Yeah, you’ll get paid for it 😊
@@DesireeMischelle thank you
No problem, glad I could help 😇✨
How much do they pay an hour I applied and have a interview
Minimum wage for hourly pay
Is it toxic cooks. And people who are lazy and don't clean up after themselves
Are you allowed to wear nails
Olive Garden in Daytona Beach does not care if their employees smoke meth From Dusk Till Dawn Dawn Dawn Dawn Dawn licking Ohio
Was better when Red Lobster and Olive Garden were under Darden, just saying. Miss the good old days.
Are they not under Darden anymore?
I have a interview at 5 I hope I get the job
wait 1. why can’t you keep tips? & 2. how did you owe money?
In response to 1. You can’t keep tips when your training bc it’s going under the trainers checks. 2. I owed money bc you automatically owe money on a check based off of the sales tax, so since I didn’t get tipped, I owed money
When you are training you have to clock in under your trainer and or manager because you do not have the knowledge yet to understand the work on your own
Actually I used to be certified trainer at OG and the guest order still can be ringed under trainee’s check. If you close your check with TOGO cashier at the end of your shift (I’m assuming you did because you mentioned about owe money) meaning it will be under your check, thus you are paying taxes with your tip received. So you are entitled to keep your tip because taxes are changed to pay check regardless of if you are training or not, at least that’s how we did at the store I worked. I’m pretty sure the trainer’s book indicated that information but not 100% sure. I remember when I was hired (which was long time ago) I ring up the item under my tab, but when time for guest to pay the bill the trainer move the check under his tab so he get the tip. Honesty, as a certified trainer, I didn’t think that was appropriate. You earned the tip, that’s your tip, regardless whether you are training or not. And if you have to pay taxes, trainer cannot keep the tip. That’s stealing! I feel like that’s illegal.
Also you owe money does not mean you literally owe money. You had more cash transaction than credit card transaction. As a server at OG, you are also does cash handling. You keep all the credit card signed check and cash you received from cash trans action. At the end of the shift you have to go to TOGO cash register to calculate the sale you made. If you have more cash transaction, you just basically returning some of the company’s money minus you cash tip and credit card tip. What ever is left is your money. If you have more credit card transaction, you get your credit card tip via cash from TOGO cashier. I hope it make sense.
In my case, they all paid using their card so I didn’t have any cash transactions. But thanks for the input!
Did they told you to racially discriminated black people?
Obviously not
What kind of question is this ..
Nice racist comment 🤦♂️
Go to Walmart 😂. She wants alcohol 🍷 acting like she never drink before
