Johnny Rockets Employer Reviews

Easy environment to learn to serve, friendly staff, not much money to be made.

anything that can be said about waitressing at a popular eatery with very little seating applies. job was fun and so were the coworkers..but it only stayd open because of its loction when the bars were there

Managers are unprofessional. They will leave without notice, going outside to smoke and text for hours at a time. They would talk bad about employess behind their back and IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS THAT THEY ARE SERVING, making the work environment very uncomfortable. I had been working there for almost a year and didn't even get my food handler's license – more... until a month before i quit. The place is disgusting, major bug problem but they don't do anything about it because "money is tight" around there. Also, there are no advancements/raises or recognition for hard worl. Too much drama and unprofessional people to the point to where i had to quit. – less

i start my day at work by ariving 30 mins early like allways
being that the owner owns both johnny rockets and kafateria in the same building i wash both restaurants dishes. But before i get to that i have to do pizza sales and also close the kafateria pizzeria buy myself after all this is done then i go up stairs to do dishes, then close johnny rockets. – more... on weekends my job sit throws partys most times they are short staffed and that leave me to be a washer /coat check / ad even security sometimes. my coworkers in both restaurants we cool and outgoing but some were lazy most – less

the most enjoyable part of this job was putting smile on the kids faces when they received ballons or creating a happy atmosphere to enjoy their meal

I had fun working in a kitchen although it would get intense during rushes. I had a couple of co-workers that would do the bare minimum to get by. They thought by doing the bare minimum they were helping. Management didn't do nothing as long as they made their quota that day.

You can't say that anything else is much more fun than being able to line dance while serving clients! So much fun!

It's quick money and the people to work with are really helpful.

I would have loved this job because the tips were great and it is easy to sell a high quality product, but it was overpriced and my co-workers an management had low values such as being rude to customers and being financially competitive

If getting your schedule at 1:30 am by text than revised 2x' before noon is good business go work there. It is on call 24 hrs and if you do not answer u get erased from the schedule for a week. It is stressful and very demeaning place to work. Nothing is stable, having a manager in name only but no real management authority or even one that wants to – more... be in charge when needed just does not work.
Hope the best and appreciate I have no physical or internal stress related problems. Cleaniness is not deep just vaneer coating.
I would not eat there, except breakfast which does not include the pancake batter. Co-workers gossip and you know to watch your back. hardest part is giving 200% and not being appreciated, you are owned even in your personal life. Enjoyable is when owner is out of town and we had ran a smooth team. servers are competing for who sales the most and uppselling is huge which is fine but causes friction due to quotas set in each station and taking tables not in your section which happens alot. No loyality just fear. If the labor board ever got all the dissatisfied workers together they would have make alot of employess happy. Break times taken off daily even if you do not take a break, clocked out even when you are still working so labor costs are below 15%, credit card tips are taken off your pay checks every pay period unless it rounds out that you would owe them. You work for free if taken off. – less

loved it here. love the vibes, the 50's diner, the guests were always nice, it was always busy, you make good tips and wear a cute uniform

A typical day consisted of preparing the restaurant. Then serving customers.

I learned how to identify a customer's wants and needs within the first moments of interaction.

My coworkers were the best. We all helped each other and followed the rules well.

The hardest part was being paid $2.13 an hour and depending on tips.

The most enjoyable part – more... was meeting new people every day. – less

summers at johnny rockets daytona cant be beat it is a fast paced busy enviorment and lots of money to be made.

very challanging and physically demanding work style, but i enjoyed it

learned and worked with divers background. Great coworkers and great company.you learn how to take multiples order in a short time.

I enjoyed working for the company, but there were many things that needed improving. Training managers with zero management experience was a big to do. Constructive criticism was never taken properly through out the company. This location has high potential with the right attention. If the company as a whole does not want to enforce that, then the location – more... should be shut down because it is only giving the company a bad name. – less

The manager and co-workers are great. Everybody works as a team. Especially when it gets busy you see everyone working together and working hard. The most enjoyable part about this job is working with everyone and satisfy the customers needs. The hardest part about this job was memorizing everything that was on the menu

Fun high energy job that focuses on guest entertainment. A typical day would be getting there at 9am to prep and open. During any shift you will be really busy. You dance ever 15-20 minutes, which is really fun!

we had to do paperwork, maintain all areas, take orders and serve.. we also had to dance. everyday was fun the people were great

Johnny Rockets was a very good place to work, good place for advancements. All though they could not find good management.
