Question about 5 hour shifts

If the redline calls for a 5 hour server shift on second does it affect the redline at all if the server works 2-7 compared to 5-9. As long as 5 hours are worked it shouldn’t matter right?

Waffle House TikTok livestream—is this a thing now?

Saw a livestream on TikTok from a Waffle House. Could have been an AI hallucination but I think it was real. Is this a thing now? I have so many questions

My regular

Texas bacon cheesesteak melt plate double hash browns scattered, smothered, covered, peppered, and country. I’ve had heartburn all night and it was worth it.

Valentine's Day Knoxville ❤️

Hello fellow WaHo enjoyers. My relationship with my wonderful woman is getting pretty serious after over four years. So serious I'm thinking of treating her to a wonderful Waffle House meal on Valentine's Day. Obviously, this is a pretty big relationship step. Can anyone make a recommendation on which store in the Knoxville area would be the best for our special evening?

Valentine's Day is coming up - thought I'd share this hilarious b-roll shot of me chowing down on some toast from when the local news did a story on V-Day at Waffle House

Hi! I got a job at Waffle House and I wanted to know what to expect as far as wages go 🙂

I’ve been a waitress for several years, so I just wondered if you all felt the tips are good? I like the ambiance, I like the people, I just wanna make sure I’m making a livable wage after training. Thanks!

Waffle Home

Thought I’d share one of the many fond memories I have for Waffle House here. I grew up in the neighborhood of the very first Waffle House, the museum is right down the street from a newer build. When I was a small kid, my whole family would always go to in every Sunday. I would always get the same thing, All Star Special with a chocolate chip waffle. I was about 3/4 at the time and would request whipped cream, my parents always giving in to my request. The waitress started to recognize me and would always just bring out the whole can of whipped cream for me in anticipation, leaving it on the table.

My family ended up moving away and I hadn’t been back to Atlanta in about 6 years when we we ended up driving through the city and stopping at that same Waffle House in Avondale just for old time sake. At this point I was probably 12/13 and I still get the same order. I asked the waitress if I could pretty please have the can of whipped cream on the table, as it’s something I used to do as a kid. She looked at me and told me how there used to be a little girl she would do that for years ago. It was such a great, full circle moment that I’ll never forget! Any time I’m in Decatur, I always remember that kindness of my Waffle House waitress just trying to make a kids day! 💛

Interview on the 4th of Feb.

I applied 2 days ago, got an interview immediately for the 4th of February. I’m a man (if that matters) and I’m a server, this is my first job. What should I expect the interview to be like? And do they test..?

Let’s say I get the job, what should I expect while training?

Thanks everyone

Did they change the grits?

Went to WH today and ordered a grits bowl. Was handed 2 packets of butter "for your grits". First time ever. They needed it and two wasn't enough. It was like they were made with way less water, had no butter added and no salt or flavor.

I usually love WH grits. This is the second time in a row I've gotten some that were less than stellar. The first time was a bit later in the day so I just chalked it up to they'd been sitting and congealed a bit and took the lesson to stick to hash browns if it's not breakfast time.

This was not a WH we'd been to before and my bf said his hash browns weren't great either. He left half of them on his plate and I left more than half my bowl. Did we just hit a bad waffle house? Or, have they changed something?

Server Job Help ! 🧇

Helloooo!!,

I work as a server/waitress at waffle house. Is there anywhere where I can get a good explanation for how to call orders to the grill operators? I’ve found a YouTube video that was some what helpful that was by Waffle House themselves but I can’t seem to find a good explanation. I keep messing up the call orders and my co-workers get stressed out by me. In specific, how to call plates and platters.

I passed my Red Star test which makes me a certified server but it’s still hard to get the hang of it. One of my friends that worked there say that they took a month to learn everything, but I don’t wanna take that long. I wanna take a short amount of time so I could get more hours.

I feel mentally stressed because I’m trying my best.

Thank you :’)

My best friend's husband is a cop and he had to go to a waffle house because there was a dead body in the dumpster.

So now when we talk about going to waffle house we make sure to say the dead guy waffle house. You know the one with the dead body. Haha 😂.

Just had my first day of training. Does it get easier?

I had my first day of training to be a server today, and I was blown away by the amount of things you have to memorize and learn. Specifically about the way they have you write down customers' orders and call them out for the cook. All the different abbreviations, terminology, and prices have left my head spinning, to the point where I'm starting to think I might actually be too stupid for this job. I have two more days of training and then they're letting me loose, and I feel certain that I will not be prepared for that. Has anyone else felt like this when they first started? Does it ever get any easier? And do they let you keep a cheat sheet while you're working? I sure hope so.

Valentine's Day at Waffle House

I got reservations for Valentine's Day at Waffle House for the first time. Any of y'all do it? What can I expect? I'm sure it will be a blast.

My wife is not nearly as excited about it.

Local Waffle House redeemed itself with my hashbrowns.

I had posted some not great looking hashbrowns(I’ll post in comments) but these were so spot on it made up for any previous hashbrowns that fell short.

Taking the pecan waffle to the next level!

The best waffle in the game baby. First you make a plain waffle and then you put peanut butter chips on the freshly hot waffle to melt it and last but not least you add 2 pieces of Pecan Pie. Yum! It don't even need syrup maybe just a little honey.
