True Food Kitchen reviews

Typical restaurant negatives with long hours and top down criticism rather than someone really listening to your concerns

POOLING TIPS (?), Managers are never going to care about you. I worked there for much too long, only to realize much too late the manipulation that management has on the staff. They tug on your heart strings, and use your passion for the company to completely run you into the ground. Serious toxicity. 14 hour shifts (an hour break if you're lucky), No outside work life whatsoever. Disrespect from higher ups, constant belittling by management pushing employees over the edge when we are all CLEARLY working as hard as our physical bodies and falling smiles behind our masks will let us, servers and bartenders (especially the ones that have worked for years) give every ounce of energy into the work they do with zero positive reinforcement, body aching from every single shift, you work a 9-5 no matter what the schedule says. Management thinks we have zero clue how labor or bonuses or surpluses work. They embellish 'goals' with words of phony/false encouragement, just so they get a pat on the back from their corporate bosses. If you want to be a bartender or server, STEER CLEAR unless you enjoy working your butt off with constant sidework all day long, running miles around all day, paying a busser just to buss tables yourself anyway, no bar back or extra help with ANYTHING, you must be completely self-sufficient and THEN SOME to help everyone else around you, only to share your tips when theres clearly an A-team and a B-team. Extremely limited staff just so the numbers look good. Straight up boot camp.
