Pros

Its fast paced and can be challenging although its simple to perform necassary tasks. The people you work with are pretty awesome. There flexible with hours withouth the usual grudge that comes with needing off from other fast foods and restaurants.

Cons

Its very hot and greasy. The kitchen is quite small for 6 cooks. Its not very great pay for the work your doing. You dont get overtime ever.

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!
