The Cheesecake Factory has one of the largest menus in American dining, with over 250 items as varied as pasta, tacos, sushi, and of course, dozens of cheesecakes. And it makes nearly everything fresh daily. It’s a big undertaking during a time when many restaurant chains are cutting dishes from their menus as ingredient prices soar. But The Cheesecake Factory makes it work. It cashes in more money per restaurant than most of its casual chain competitors like Chili’s and Applebee’s. We went behind the scenes to see how The Cheesecake Factory consistently executes such a massive menu and makes it profitable.

@messyroomstudiosIt’s definitely a different breed of person who can do restaurant work. Of course some of them would never want a 9-5 job.

As a restaurant connoisseur, I have never eaten CF. Never planned on it, either. But seeing how meticulous they are, maybe I will.

Cheesecake Factory was one of my favorite restaurants. Now, prices have almost doubled and dishes have been cut in half. Certain dishes came with three hefty pieces of chicken, now they come with two and they are paper thin. Everything has dropped in quality and size but it used to be the best of the best.

They left out the part where they inject extra calories into each dish
Great video, amazing kitchens they have. I just find it funny the only thing not being made fresh in each Cheesecake Factory is the cheesecake!
Even if this job was paying $50/hr. Which it isn’t. I reckon employees get $20/hr if lucky. Better off working for McDonald’s for Min Wage $15/hr. You’d just have way too many things to do on a daily basis with things always changing to the point where nothing becomes comfortable. A perpetual states of stress. But, godayum, if their food isn’t good XD. I try not to think of the employees work environment when eating food here. I’d just get depressed.
