Olive Garden called and I thought it was Sunday and I was late.

Turns out they had a call-out and needed coverage today.

Since my other job is a school job I was off today anyway so had no good reason why not to work.

Regretted picking up the phone at all.

Next time I'm turning it off.

Those of you that work at OG

I went tonight and got the spicy Alfredo with a meatball for my NEPB refill. When it came out, my meatball was partially coated in marinara even though it was on spicy Alfredo sauce.

Are the meatballs cooked in marinara or was this a it got hit by another sauce and the cooks/servers said screw it?

How was everyone’s Labor Day…

This shift was actually so crazy? Was there from 12-9, on Togo, and it was slammed all day. Had a $3500 delivery go out midday. Was out of SO much.

Any other crazy stories from those of us who work for the garden?? 🫠

⁉️ Hiring Question First Day of Training Soon

Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m starting my first day at Olive Garden this week and i’m incredibly nervous. I’ve had other jobs before but i’m used to making things like desserts and coffee. I was hired as a server. I’ve never waited tables a day in my life.

I’m excited, of course, but this is extremely different for me. I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice and tips.

We’ll also supply our own dessert.

❓Customer Question Are the meatballs made of USA beef?

Upvotes

Wanted to make a visit sometime soon for the pasta bowls but a little reticent since I can’t find any info on whether or not they’re sourcing American beef for their meatballs or if it’s possible they got the Argentinian beef that has been imported recently.
