This role demands a high level of communication, compassion, and teamwork, as well as multitasking and problem-solving skills.

The typical pay range for this position is between $16.90 and $18.59 per hour, with actual pay influenced by factors such as location and individual experience. Denny's also ensures compliance with federal, state, and local equal employment laws and participates in the E-Verify program to confirm work authorization.
