Fun at one time, but bottom-line driven after IHOP purchase - Anonymous employee Applebee's Employee Review

Lots of shift opportunities to make additional money

Fast paced and very overwhelming

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
