Great part time job. Have met a lot of good people working there. Pay is decent and schedule worked well for me. It’s a great place to learn and understand the industry.

Very hard work for such little pay

Server/Cashier/Cook (Former Employee) - Saint Paul, MN - September 27, 2022

For a restaurant there feels like a ton of work to be done during closing time and they always understaff at nights for “labor” despite charging $10 a burger. Everyone was underpaid and the company was constantly pushing hard on keeping labor low. The people were a lot of fun to work with but corporate clearly did not see anyone who worked there as people.

Pros: pay, incentives, free foodCons: poor communication, mixed messaging, and insults designed to motivate. All in all it’s a solid job if you are new.

Fun work environment

Cashier/Cook (Former Employee) - San Marcos, TX - August 23, 2022

Great workplace with quality ingredients. Most customers complain about the pricing but every ingredient is fresh and prepared in the restaurant. Co workers are great.

Hard work

Cashier/Cook (Former Employee) - Culver City, CA - July 14, 2022

This is a consistent job that always provides hours and good pay. Although the pay is good, here is a substantial amount of work to be done on a daily basis. If you don’t mind getting the equivalent of a hard and long workout at work, then this is the job for you. It is also incredibly difficult to call off or request time off.

Amazing place of work.

Cook/Prep/shift lead/cashier (Former Employee) - Gainesville, GA - May 10, 2022

It’s a lot of prepping so if you don’t mind working harder then this is the perfect job for you! You get tips splitted at the end of the night also. So everyone gets a tip.

chaotic

Cook/Cashier (Former Employee) - Norfolk, VA - March 18, 2022

The hardest part of this job was finding motivation to show up. There was always a long line, people ordering things they knew would take at least 10 minutes complaining about the wait...3/10, do not miss this place.

Manager

Manager/Cook (Former Employee) - Boardman, OH - March 8, 2022

It was honestly not that’s great owners do not really care much about their employees they always say they’ll help but then never do and have no problem not fixing broken things in the store. The GM when I worked there was great though !

Management is poor

Very judgemental as a whole, and management was disrespectful. Employees weren't too bad, just lazy and young. Management refused to help with hours and were very unprofessional.

Pros

Free lunch

Cons

Management problems

Good starting place but let it be that

Cook (Former Employee) - Mesa, AZ - December 17, 2021

It was a good place to practice pace and speed at work. It can weigh heavy like any fast food restaurant. Overall can be dependent on your manager that makes the job.
