3.8The good: I like my coworkers, a lot, whether they're servers, working in the kitchen or even other hosts. They're all super friendly and you will get along with pretty much everyone (if you have a positive attitude). I get along with my supervisors/managers really well, one I feel really comfortable with and he often times gives me tips on how I can improve my work and become a better host.
The bad: You get tip share, meaning you get a portion of the tips that servers make. This can work in your favor some nights and be the worst thing ever on other nights. You never know when it's going to be crazy and busy or if it's going to be super dead and you get excited if a single customer comes in, these are the worst because you get paid based off of the tip made that day and if not many come in, you won't be making much that day either.
The ugly: You never REALLY know when you're going to go home. You can be an opener and expect to stay for a 7 hour shift, however, that doesn't always play out. Your manager may tell you a time that you can expect to leave, but again, that doesn't always work out as you plan because you never know when people are going to come in. Some days it just may get really packed and crowded that they need as many hands on deck as they can get so you just may have to stay the entire time.
I hope this review has helped you because I would have loved to read a review like this before becoming employed at Outback. The good may or may not out weigh the bad for some, however, the bad may just overpower the good. Who knows but just keep in mind, your hourly pay is a lot lower than minimum wage just because you are receiving "tips" and I mean A LOT lower.
2.5I have worked for Outback for many years and it first started off great. It was a really fun company to work for, made a lot of friends, and you could tell this company cared about the employees and the business itself. Over the years the company started putting multiple jobs on to one person. Example: one person makes salad, desserts, and all appetizers. On top of that they have to prep all there items which takes a few hours and they have to make sure everything is food safe. Honestly the food takes a lot longer because they have so many responsibilities, so this upsets the guests because they are waiting over 10 minutes on a salad. Outback has become money hungry so they cut corners to make their wallets bigger for the short term but in long term they are driving the business into the ground. Also we used to make our own food and that part is set but now everything comes in bags. Outback used to be looked at as a higher based restaurant, but at the rate it's going they will be more comparable to Coney Island. The employees used to be more loyal and over the past few years the turnover rate has gone through the roof. We don't feel appreciated and we feel over worked!

Outback Steakhouse Careers & Info
Current CEO: William Allen III
Status: Active
The Outback Steakhouse was founded in Tampa, Florida, by Bob Basham, Trudy Cooper, Chris T. Sullivan and Tim Gannon in 1987. Early on, the partners agreed that their restaurant would offer a comfortable atmosphere with great service and great food at a great price.
All of them had worked in the restaurant business. From that experience they knew that people went out to eat prime rib and beef, so they opened a steak restaurant that served modestly priced, high-quality food in a casual atmosphere. In 1986, the Crocodile Dundee movie had been released and was an instant hit. The Australian Outback was similar to the American West. The memorable identity became the new restaurant’s name.
As a result of their combined experience in the restaurant business, the partners were aware of managing problems and decentralized the management in their establishments. Certain standards must be met, but otherwise they let local managers run the restaurants as they see fit.
Outback recognizes that people of all races, colors, ages, sex, religions, marital status, national origins and disabilities have talents and other qualities. This diversity contributes to the success of the restaurant’s outreach program as the employees make connections with members of social associations, schools, civic groups and other non-profit organizations. This is critical to the future growth and success of the restaurant in the community.
