Whatever you do, do not apply here. they WILL hire just about anyone though so if that's what you're looking for, go for it. Super unprofessional environment from the higher ups to the managers. We were constantly understaffed, the work load was usually thrown on to one or two people, and recognition for all the hard work a few of us did was pretty much not there. I got fired from this company ver...
Cook in Phoenix, AZ
on July 20, 2023
I have worked in many different places and by far this is the most irresponsible, inappropriate and disrespectful workplace! They start you off with no training and expect you to know everything first day along with them not truly caring about you and your problems. Don’t waste your time with this company yes the money is decent but it’s not worth the stress and neglect from the company as a whole...
Line cook in Chicago, IL
on June 2, 2023
As a person who has had so many years of working in a multitude of restaurants, i must say that this company is the absolute worst to work for. I would rather break my back working at a warehouse than cook or lay a finger on a plate. Trust me when i say this, it is not worth your time or energy, please go somewhere else where you’ll actually be appreciated for your hard work.

The interviewer asked me what I liked to do in my free time, they also asked me what kind of documents I had to establish my proof of identity. Briefly asked me if I knew what the responsibilities and expectations of the person doing that particular job. They asked if I had food Handlers card and if not, could I get one? They also wanted to know how long of a commute I would have to make it to work.
