Bamboo-Garden

I generally wait for orders to come. I work primarily nigh shifts, which are busier then the daytime shifts. I will take orders to their intended destinations, complete money transactions, and then return to the shop. The customer's phone numbers are also included, in case I can not find their homes. Also, when delivering to the Bowling Green State University campus, the phone numbers allow me to get a hold of the customers so they can meet me in the lobbies of the various dormitories.

My bosses are both Chinese and have shared stories about China and some of the cultural differences between Americans and Chinese. While I'm not delivering, I also have a chance to interact with their children, who seem to enjoy spending time with me.

The hardest part about the job is the amount of money I spend on gas. A good twenty percent of my income goes towards gas. However, despite me saying it is the hardest part, it is a minor inconvenience at best.

The most enjoyable part is the interaction with my bosses. They are easy to get along with and they will occasionally bestow bits of information about China and the Chinese culture. Another enjoyable part is just being able to explore my home town. Since working at Bamboo Garden, I have gained a deeper appreciation for the town, discovering nooks and crannies that I think I'd never have found before working here. It is an enjoyable job and I have enjoyed my time working at Bamboo Garden.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The owner is great and is very fair. The environment was not toxic. Unfortunately, a difference of opinion came in the way. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There was a constant lack of employees and that put a lot of pressure on daily operations as well as customer service,  which is my number one priority. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mostly fair but can be toxic times. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Daily day started with completing the job of a runner,  who use to mop the restaurant, sweep and clean the bathrooms. Then do the job of a server most of the time and also complete managerial responsibilities.

Business is usually steady, with a slow time between everyone's lunch break to around five or six o'clock. Management has been cracking down on rules, which is good because they were not really followed before. My Co-workers are all young girls. Some of them like how we don't get too rushed, some do not like it. The hardest part of the cashier's job is when you're on the phone, and a table wants to pay the bill, and another person wants to order, and another table walks in (all at the same time). The best part of the job is talking to the happy customers! Those are the moments that make my day feel brighter.

Typically, I would wait on tables and talk to customers about what they needed and how I could make their dining experience better. Being my first job, I learned a lot. I learned how to have a good work ethic, talk to customers, and overall how to be a more responsible individual. The management was my toughest challenge, however, because at the time the manager was a very harsh man. He would get extremely angry if we messed up and would often call us names. I did love my co-workers though. We formed great relationships, and worked really well together. Working with my coworkers and talking to customers was definitely the most enjoyable part of the job.

I really enjoyed working for this company. A typical day includes a 12 hour serving shift. Opening and closing duties. I learned a strong set of customer service and communication skills that will help me throughout my professional career. The management was demanding but, fair and extremely energetic and as passionate as I was. The hardest part of the job was that there is barely any room for promotion within the company. I am looking for a company I can grow with and expand and it was not happening. Although, I enjoyed working for Bamboo Garden it does not come along with the challenge and growth I in particular am looking for.

A typical day at work give great customer service as a hostess you are the front of the company smile and sit them in their table. attend phone calls for to go orders charge on register food per pound when its buffet answer any questions customers may have. I learned a lot in this company how to deal with a fast paced enviroment ,more experience with customer service, also learned other jobs in the same company, What i liked the most was the  employees and every body respect each other and everyone is willing to help one another.

The family I worked for was so nice and accommodating. My husband and I only had one car, and they allowed me to pick him up from work and let him run deliveries with me. Their two children often sat with me and we would draw or watch movies on my phone, and both my husband and I got free food while I was at work, as well as a discount when I wasn’t. When gas prices went up, they started paying me a set amount per delivery as well to help me pay for gas. 

I would typically start the morning off by warming up the buffet and filling it with water and ice. I would then go and prepare the salad buffet while the other server would prepare the fruit bar. We would then meet up and prepare the sushi bar. The atmosphere was very friendly, the prices were fair, the workers were all very friendly. The best part of my job was the food, the Korean sushi chef made some amazing sushi rolls!

Overall my experience was pleasant. My co-workers were welcoming and always willing to help me. I’m only leaving because I need a higher paying job and I don’t have enough hours working here. I would definitely recommend this job for people who are still becoming familiar with the work force.

All in all a good atmpshere to work in, serving food and drinks and maintaining the place was part of this job it just lacked the advancement opportunities so motivation was scarce apart from minimum wafe and  slow customer activity.
