How Do I Log In to My Cracker Barrel Front Porch employee account?

To log into your Cracker Barrel employee account, you will need to visit the main Cracker Barrel Front Porch login page, which can be found at:

https://frontporchselfservice.crackerbarrel.com/

The old Cracker Barrel Front Porch Self-Service login page at https://crackerbarrel.achievers.com/login is no longer working.

This temporary password will be “00” + the last four digits of your social security number (SSN) and you will only use this password once.

Click ‘Login’ and you will then have the opportunity to set up a permanent password to use with the service from your employee dashboard. Make sure this password is unique, but also memorable to you.

For all future login attempts, all you need to do is visit the aforementioned login page and enter your Employee ID and the password you selected into the respective fields, then click the ‘Login’ button.

Cracker Barrel Front Porch Employee Login Problems and Solutions.

Occasionally, users may encounter difficulties when attempting to log in to their account. While this can be frustrating, there is usually a simple solution. However, if you are unsure of what the cause of the problem is, it is best to run through the following troubleshooting steps, which cover the most common issues.

The first thing to do is to check that you have successfully activated your account. Users often receive a username and an initial password to do this, but you may instead be required to follow a link sent to your email address and you may need to perform an initial sign on using your Cracker Barrel network login credentials.

Next, you should check that your internet connection and your wi-fi connection are actually working. The easiest way to do this is simply to refresh the login page, or to visit any other website and check that it loads. If the page does not load, the problem is with your connection, rather than with the Cracker Barrel website.

Make sure you are using the right login page: https://frontporchselfservice.crackerbarrel.com/

The old login page at: http://employees.crackerbarrel.com should automatically re-direct to this new login page, but there could be a problem with the re-direction process, so it is best to use the direct link. It is also recommended that you update any browser bookmarks to the right URL, in order to avoid running into this problem at a later date.

It is also worth double checking that you have entered the right login credentials. Your password is the one you selected during the account setup process and this is case sensitive. For this reason, you should have CAPS LOCK turned off on your keyboard. On your first ever login, your password will be “00” followed by the last four digits of your SSN.

Finally, you could try some quick web browser-based solutions. Make sure your web browser is updated to the latest version and try clearing your browsing data, cookies and cache before attempting another log in. You could also attempt to sign in using a different web browser, or a different device altogether.

How do I reset my Cracker Barrel Front Porch password?

If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it through the platform itself.

Alternatively, if you opted to enter your email address, you should receive an email with instructions for resetting your password. Simply follow the instructions included within this email and select your new password.

How Do I Recover My Cracker Barrel Front Porch User ID?

If you have forgotten your User ID, rather than your password, you can also recover this through the service. Again, go to the main login page and click on the link labelled ‘Forgot Your Login or Password?’

This time, rather than entering either your username or your email address, click on ‘Forgot Your User Name?’ which should be visible at the bottom of this screen.

  1. I still don’t have access to check my schedule on this site for some reason. It never pulls up the screen for the schedules. It just shows my employee number and password. Would like to have it fixed if possible instead of always getting a physical print out of the schedule. Thank you for your time and patience with this matter.

  22. To: Cracker barrel Staff

    Subject: Safety Concerns

    Dear Cracker Barrel Staff

    I am a new employee with Cracker Barrel I started at the company on 1/10/22. My position is Dish Washer at the Skibo road location, Fayetteville North Carolina. My training experience has a unpleasant one so far, I am affiliated with the Ada so my personal situation is a little different. What I see associated with the Ada is a babying like approach. I noticed that the place was understaffed and I have also noticed some safety issues not cleaning up stagnant water on the floor which can be a potential for trip hazards. This can also be associated with sanitation grades in the restaurant. I also noticed that food was being dropped on the floor and not immediately picked up which poses a potential for falling. A safe, clean environment is a happy environment. There has been a lot of training but most of it was easy to comprehend and the staff was helpful. Unfortunately when communicating with Human Resources I had to bring to her attention about having a ethical policy, with is often associated with good business practices. In my personal opinion, it holds employees to a high standard of performance, rather than something mediocre. I had prior training in safety and customer service upon arriving at Cracker Barrel other than your training provided. My intention is not to cause any conflict or retaliatory behavior upon writing these words it is only to better the company in which I have been offered employment. I also have wrote this words to help retain customers, the fact is even though customers are not allowed to enter the restaurant kitchen they can visually see the floors in the dining area as I can visually see it. I personally hold myself to higher standard than what has been presented and I know how it is to work. I have never had any complaints about my work ethic that I was personally informed and I am capable of performing the job with proper training of course.

    Sincerely
    Shandell Simmons
