Business Outlook

Pros

Weekly pay, free food, and good hours

Cons

Stressful, a restaurant that shouldn't have a drive-thru since we were constantly running out of chicken because it takes so long to cook. Having to explain that we dont have chicken at a chicken restaurant is not a pleasant experience.
