Restaurant Team was Great - Corporate - not so much - Catering Sales Manager Specialty Restaurants Employee Review

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed working at Specialty Restaurants over the past three months. From day one, everyone has been incredibly welcoming and supportive. The tools and resources provided by the company have set me up for real success, and I’ve already seen great results in my role. The management and marketing teams are especially impressive — responsive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your growth. It's clear that leadership values both their employees and their guests, which makes a big difference in the work environment. Accepting this position was absolutely the right decision for me, and I’m excited to continue growing with the company.

The only real challenge is that we don’t have much indoor event space for the hotter summer months. Most events are held on the beach or covered deck, with the main indoor option being the restaurant itself. I’d love to see more indoor flexibility in the future, especially during peak heat. That said, I’m very happy I accepted this position, and I’m excited to continue building my career here!

Pays okay, has a lifestyle benefit after 6 months, free lunch at work You get some percent upsells, not much but it’s something

-Corporate takes forever to approve things and to make change -The clients are the worst part of the job - 70% people who are jerks -you don’t make commission on sales
