Discounted food, but staffing shortages create pressure - Waitress Giggling Squid Employee Review

Good food benefits and culture benefits

No vertical movement, high expectations low rewards even less incentive and no actual training

Working at Giggling Squid helped me build strong customer service and teamwork skills in a fast-paced environment while gaining confidence handling busy shifts and guest interactions. The role also improved my communication, multitasking, and ability to stay calm under pressure.

The environment could sometimes be physically demanding during peak hours, with long shifts and high customer volume requiring constant energy and focus. Balancing speed of service with maintaining high customer experience standards could also be challenging at busy times.
