They keep track of orders by the way they plate things, like they will put certain things like grape jam in a certain position to signal stuff like eggs, hashbrowns, waffles, etc. Its alot to learn for the workers to memorize every configuration for orders, mad respect

I worked at Waffle House for a year when I was 16. They mark the plates with condiment packets to signify what is what on the plate as the "salesperson" notifies the "grill operator" what the order is and how it's going out. If you listen when they call, you'll see that they "pull" their meats, "drop" their hashbrowns, and "mark" their plates. It's a whole system of code they teach you when you start. I'll never ever forget it, and I LOVE Waffle House

For the tomato salad: that is how corporate lists the 3 tomato slices. Salads were discontinued shortly after reopening post pandemic. They used to do steamed hashbrowns too, but it became a safety issue.

Yeah steaming the hash browns would require putting ice on the grill with a dome over the hash browns, but there were instances of the ice chipping the metal grill and potentially leaving shards of metal on food. Learned that today on my second and last day as a WH employee

WH employee here, and i gotta say the random waffle house jingles through your video are actually a pretty accurate depiction of working when that song came out (the jukebox system was programmed to play it once every thirty minutes, unless delayed by other songs customers are playing) ALSO EDIT: sidenote, the tomato salad is actually supposed to be a full saucer plate of sliced tomatoes

Hey Sam I was a waffle house Rock Star Grill Operator in North Carolina for around 9 months. Every item we have on the cold side can be used to mark something the customer ordered, IE if ham chunks and napkin was place on the 12 o clock postion they wanted grits with ham in it, or a fiesta omlet is marked by having a waffle house sauce and a grape jelly packet on the 12 o clock postion, but scrambled eggs are just a grape jelly at the 6 postion! This system took me a little bit to get into but it worth it!

I'm so impressed with how you made this into such a journey of a story. Like. The premise is... Not going to carry the piece. But you nailed it. I was actually delighted to hear very mundane things that you made exciting. You're going places. You have a gift.

How do you not have more subscribers?? Seriously one of my favorite channels

WH on technically Christmas morning at 3am was a tradition for many of us that worked at the bars in Orlando for a mouse. Not only was it our celebration as friends, but WH has their own collection of holiday tunes. It was something that lasted for almost a decade, until the company shut down our area. I would 10 out of 10 recommend.

Dude you are just the content king right now. Great videos and super original. 👌

Impeccable editing. Great idea for a video. So well done.

After watching this, I'm ready to go jump in the car and go grab me an All Star with grits, sausage, and a pecan waffle. Yum. And always available. One of the few places still open 24-7.

As a Rockstar grill op, I will tell you that marking plates and keeping track of orders is not as hard as it seems and is also the hardest thing, if that makes sense 😂. Also something to keep in mind is that the reason you don't know much about waffle house until you eat there a lot is because they're really big on word of mouth and regular reoccurring customers. Or the late night travellers that just want an all-star or hashbrown bowl.

Dude ur vids are such high quality , keep it up the subs will come

It’s absolutely insane how little subscribers you have - truly one of the most creative and fun to watch channels on the platform keep up the good work!!

In Canada and we don't have the Waffle House. However whenever I am in the U.S I find a location. Try the pork chops, hash browns, grilled sandwiches, omelets, and pecan waffles.

Dude this video warmed my heart. I don't even know why. I just liked it ALOT. I guess it's that Waffle House vibes are great when people aren't fighting in them. This video embraced that whole-heartedly.

First video Ive seen and got a new sub instantly, the quality is insane and super entertaining

Yet another banger great vid as always 👍

Another fantastic video from you! I miss having a waffle house nearby after moving states for grad school.

Love waffle house. Grew up in the south and did the same thing when young and couldn't go to bars late at night. Wish you would have and the apple butter on cinnamon toast and mention the slang for types of hashbrowns. Loved your video

Great videos, still can't believe that you have less than 50k subs thought you were over 1 mil with the quality of videos. Keep up the good work

This was awesome!!!! Can’t wait to see what you have in the works with the Jonas brothers! Either way this was unique and purely studio revue!!! Keep up the amazing content Sam!

Ive hit waffle house 3 times in the past 3 weeks and they already know my name and what I like. It's better than a michelin star restaurant.

I want to give a shout out to the Waffle House servers in Columbus, Georgia. I went there with my family several years ago when one of my boys graduated from basic training. There was an elderly veteran there who was a frequent customer. He would order the same thing for breakfast. They treated him like gold and referred to his menu selection as “The Mr. Jenkins”. They absolutely loved him.

Videos are amazing Sam, quality is sick!

I’ve been to Waffle House once at 2am and it’s a wondrous place- You just shared this magic with the world. What a beautiful video:)

i can tell you that my waffle house has 2-3 full menus with what we can sell to customers placed around the store. the menu we place on tables is yeah the favorites but the "extended menu" lists the sirloin, t-bone, pork chops, various sandwiches, tomato juice, both sizes of chili, pie, and omelettes. it also lets you know you can order the meat as a breakfast with two eggs, grits/hashbrowns, toast, or a "dinner" with double hashbrowns and texas toast.

You live near Lexington! That's awesome, I'm in SWVA and visit Rockbridge fairly often. Loving your content.

This was very entertaining, well paced, and well shot. I appreciate you promoting positive eating habits at the end. This is a creator that will inevitably gain more subscribers, laughs, and fans in time, as your current stats show. 👍 Thanks for the forward thinking content!

I will say you def missed out on the Wraps era of Waffle House. Those things were always amazing.

Awesome video! Really enjoyed it

Man I love your videos and would just enjoy hanging out with you. Such cool concepts and executed in such an interesting way. Keep it up!

It's called "the marking system". If you watch as a server calls a cook will mark a plate with a ketchup , mayo, jelly or butter. Also a "pull" is the meat in your order, "drop" is your hasbrowns and than we call everything with hashbrowns first, than without (it may vary region to region)

My theory is the Jonas Brothers are doing Eat the Menu with the Try Guys.

How have you not blown up on KZread yet?! Love your channel!🥰

you gained a new subscriber from this video, really good vid man thanks!

They remember who ordered what by marking the plates with certain items, I know they put the jelly packet in different parts of the plate based on what kind of bread you want and stuff like that… still crazy to remember tho

I used to work at Waffle House, and there are two ways that orders are kept up with. The first thing is that they have a system of plating that tell you what exactly came with the order. Like a piece of hashbrown at the top of the plate means the plate will have hashbrowns on it. However, that system isn't followed closely by everybody. The main way that they keep up is that the orders are always called out the same way, and the grill operator takes out what is called in the order as they're being told. This makes it so that it's easy to keep up with what orders there are in your head since it's also in front of you at the same time. With multiple orders, they often also organize the grill space according to what's been called. It's been a while since I've worked there, but I still remember how it works for the most part.
