Business Outlook

Pros

High energy job and very social. Learn lots of hospitality skills and food safety.

Cons

Very low wage across all positions. Especially managemnt, who are payed significantly less than standard fast food manager roles. Bonus is non competitive and very difficult to achieve. ASMs always on closing shifts and never get weekends off, while the GMs always get early shifts Monday to friday and there is no compromise.
