Pros

A easy and faster hiring process as a first/ entry-level job for beginners in the fast-food industry. The staff are friendly and kind.

Cons

Limited hours and under staffed. Only one worker available in the front is a Cashier = cleaning lobby, refilling salsa bar, taking orders, making orders at the same time. Rush time is the worst trying to fulfill all your duties within a certain amount of time.
