If you are new employee, or you are considering applying, you might have wondered about the stars that appear on the employees aprons. Some employees have just one star, while others have two or 3 stars.
The stars actually represent how long an employee has been with Cracker Barrel, as well as their skills. Cracker Barrel employees are “Rising Stars” for the initial 30 days of employment. Rising Stars must take a variety of tests about their particular position and be evaluated by managers. Passing the tests means that they get their 1st star.
