Most restaurants don't start you out as a server until you at the very least have some hosting experience. Start out as a host there, and if you work hard, you'll probably be able to serve in no time.

I have over 20 years in full-service restaurants and bars. It is not necessarily set in stone that you have to have experience, but Outback does have a higher P.P.A. (per person average), meaning that your tips will be better on the norm because of the total bill price. My particular specialty was the training and scheduling of the waitstaff. If the location was primarily close to a lot of residential, then yes, I would hire you if I was impressed on the interview and/or schedule you for a second one with another manager. Now if it was a downtown location that does higher volume, no, I would not. It can be quite overwhelming. If you are unsuccessful, apply for a busboy position because they receive tips from the servers---a host normally does not.
Quick answer - no.

Many Outbacks have a policy to train employees at easier positions such as host before they are allowed to serve. Previous experience is perferred as positions are often highly sought at Outback.



Try Applebees, TGI Fridays, Chili's, or other moderate priced chains. Local joints are also easy to get a start.



Good Luck!

A PERSONALITY AND KNOWLEDGE COMES GOOD TIPS... PEOPLE DONT TIP... ITS A SERVICE, AND YOU HAVE TO KISS *** AND EARN IT, IF YOU EXPECT ONE .ITS NOT MANDATORY TO TIP... EVEN THOUGH IVE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS, ITS WORK TO GET ONE (A TIP) AND IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE YOU WORK... BOTTOM OF THE LINE OR TOP... YOU ARE EITHER A GOOD WAITRESS OR YOUR NOT... GOOD LUCK!
