I would find a place that hits the sweet spot - high enough checks and clientele that tip well + good turnover, so you get enough tables each night. Are you looking for something in Hartford itself? Because I might look at any of the restaurants in the Blue Back Square area of West Hartford. They're always pretty busy.

I would avoid Tisane, they have a really bad internal drama issue that they need to work out. It's bad enough that it's causes a lot of regulars (myself included) to stop going there.

I used to be a regular, but haven’t been in a few months. What happened?

Tisane seems like a rad place to work with flexible roles (hostess, barista, bartender, server).

Literally anywhere in WeHa, Zohara + Doro Group is usually hiring but it's often difficult to get in the door. Max is a safe bet, but I've had a few people warn me that they are overly sexist, so something to keep in mind - but I bet you'll make money if you can land a spot at downtown or oyster.

Avoid bartaco and Barcelona. Too much bullshit to really cover here.

Sparrow just opened up, they are packed but I suspect they may be running a bit heavy on staffing. Food is good, probably easy to turn tables.

If you're a bartender, Half Door or Spigot is a pretty good gig. All depends on the time of year though.

The Charles in Wethersfield is always very busy and, in many ways, it’s the only game in town

Tavern in the square in west hartford is a newish place, always accepting résumés and could be looking for help right now.

Didn’t think you could actually come up with something resourceful, I’ve been considering a job at a club tbh 😌funny to think though you took the time to read through my comments
seems like someone else should be asking for extra shifts at their job

Comprehension can be hard for some and that’s okay, if you read what I wrote you’ll be happy to know I am in fact looking for another job and was hoping for some recommendations😅

Guess you’re talking about your own comprehension skills.

Read what I wrote again. Slowly this time so you can understand it.

I still think McDonalds is a good choice for you.
