Pros

Control over your income, responsible for your guests, good support from management to get the job done.

Cons

There was lots of turnover in store management typically moving from store to store. Keep managers in their own stores. Each time a new manager arrives, they change formating especially in the bof and that lengthens ticket times and causes frustration for guests and foh staff

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
