Is a Denny's cook a good job?

I'm looking into getting another job over the summer to hopefully make more money.
I see there is a job opening at Denny's being a cook. Does anyone have any idea what the job is like/pay and stress it has???
What job experience would I need?
I have had two jobs, both in the food industry.
Both were waiters though. At the job I'm at now, I wait tables mostly, dish wash, and Food Prep twice a week. Would this be enough job experience to be a cook there? I'm a good cook, I've cooked before at my job I have now when were short staffed.
I did google this and surprisingly
I'm trying to find someone who's had experience being a Denny's/iHop cook and basically telling me how it went. Thanks

all you do is make food, at a low end resturant. It shouldnt be anymore stressful than the waiter job you have but im sure you will make considerably less as a cook, especially at dennys. They dont really have any crazy entrees so it sould be fairly easy as im sure most people go there to get breakfast food 24/7.

Ya, but I make minimum wage and where I work as a waiter, I can't receive tips because its company policy so I would probably make more. The job before that I got tips and would make $90 a day, but it was on call and I only got called maybe once a week

Not too sure about the wages and conditions of being a Denny's cook, but if you put together a good resume, you should be able to land the job considering your experience in the food industry.

PM if you need any help with your resume, I've helped a few friends out with them and ended up landing them a job.

seriously? I thought the best part about being a waiter was the tips? how do you survive on that? I guess you can give people shitty service that are assholes to you though so thats a +

I honestly expected better from NS, but you are all idiots if you think captchas are useless.

I worked in a cafe/bar which did breakfast food 24/7 for a year. It was a one man kitchen, which blew, I had to cook/dishes/clean/whatever else needed to be done. On the weekends we had two people working, which made it not nearly as bad. I'm pretty sure Dennys always has multiple people on so really how cool your coworkers are will make or break the job.

seems like a pretty cool job, but since your new you'll probably have shitty hours. also it seems like if you have 0 experience cooking, it might not be right for you.

getting a job cooking in a kitchen like that is super easy. they arent exactly looking for culinary degrees to make scrambled eggs and pancakes. its almost definitely going to pay minimum wage, and its gonna be a pretty grimy kitchen, but if your a teenager whos just looking to pick up a few hours every week it would be fine.

I can't imagine it being great, having an all night shift would really blow. A job is a job though, better to be making scrilla than jerking off and playing videogames.
