L&L Hawaiian BBQ

Your fate at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue depends largely on whether or not the main owner and manager likes you and this usually has nothing to do with whether you are a good worker or not. The manager has very obvious favoritism among their employees and does not bother hiding it. The turnover rate is very high and many of the employees who leave end up with various anger management issues or, in at least two cases, alcohol abuse issues.

The owner also doesn't believe in keeping their employees' personal lives separate from the workplace as they will pry into their workers' lives and if they don't get the answers they want, they will attempt to extricate it from other employees. If their employees are dating and they don't like the couple, they will separate their lunches and breaks so they can't be together. There was also a case where they didn't approve of what an employee did on their time off and so removed that day for them.

The manager has been known to curse at employees, some of them minors, tell them to shut up, and will remove hours if they are angry at you. The silent treatment is also a preferred method that they deal with some workers in which case they will ask someone next to you to tell you something.

All in all, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is very much an experience although not necessarily a good one. The management is poor, the toxicity levels in the workplace environment are at deadly levels, and the level of favoritism is ridiculous. If you want to remain sane, I recommend you not work for L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. You will regret it.

A busy store where i would always be multi-tasking. Such as cleaning after others and helping customers with their food service by reccomending food specials and helping them save money while helping the company spread their name.I learned that i could do anything i could set my mind to when there was no one i could ask help for and do it on my own.Working with my co-workers was always a professional slightly fun day at L&L,anytime someone needed help we never had to ask we would always work as a team. The most challenging part of my job was not being able to have a schedule ,always on call and it would interfer with either school or personal days. In order to prevent any misunderstanding or problems i sat down with managment and gave him my availability. My most enjoyable part of work was everything,i always went to work knowing i could have a good day no matter what situation i was in because we always worked as team and not as an individual.

I start my work day with submiting daily sales and filling out reports and payouts and getting change for the resturant. I handle all customers during shift and catering orders t hat come thru. I have grown with this experience it teachs you how to deal with all types of situations and people. The managment there is okay with owner living out of state. All the workers get a long and work well with each other we have been together for a few years now. The hardest part is keeping up with all daily paperwork deposits and forms when we get busy and I am the only one who can run register but I finish when I have a break in customers. Meeting all the customers and co-workers and forming a relationship so they fill comfortable coming back.

I started as a dishwasher even though I've told my manager at that time that I was already cooking and I know my way around the kitchen. The line was currently full at that time, but I needed a job within my field and I still accepted even if it was just cleaning up after everyone. on times that they were busy, the manager asked me if I could help, and I did not hesitated to say yes. I asked what needed to be done and I stepped up to be a chef as I can be. The manager saw what I was capable of and promoted me as a cook the following day, but not as full time. He needed to make sure that there is a replacement for my current role before leaving a station. The food are great, the people are awesome. I never go home hungry. I also get employee discount for when I want to buy something to take home for my wife. It is an awesome place to work for if you enjoy food.

A typical day at work consists of prepping food for the day, cooking and serving our customers.
I've learned a lot about the food industry working here. It was my first job and couldn't be more happy with it once I've learned the value of customer service. I treated people the way I would like to be treated. 
Management was great, very supportive and worked with their employees.
The workplace culture was a family, everyone treated each other like we were each others brothers and sisters. We grew to love one another and still to this day are very close.
The hardest part of the job is leaving to go home. working with the group we had made it hard to leave as each one of us just wanted to be working with each other all the time. 
The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing our customers come in hungry and leaving happy and full with a smile on their face.

It was my first job ever. It was fairly easy. Just got hectic when it was busy because I would be the only cashier. I have to take orders, phone orders, handing out the food, clean tables. Honestly a lot of work when it was busy. Breaks weren’t really even breaks. When i have down time or there would be no customers would be my “break” and when a customer comes, I would have to go to the register and help them. We got a fake $100 bill and my manager made me pay for it out of my own packet :) I told my manager I was looking for another job soon for them to hire someone new in my place, which they didn’t do. When i tried to put in my two weeks, they had me stay for another two months :) Management would have me help customers or take their order before we would even officially open for the day. 

You get paid basically every other week sometimes the checks wouldn't even come on time and you would have to wait 3 more days they dont let you work overtime and they say you can do direct deposit but when you give them the paper it never gets done they rarely are stocked on everything and when they say they are going to give you a raise you never get it in was supposed to have a 3 dollar raise and it took 2 months to get a dollar raise when I was supposed to have the 3 I wouldn't recommend working there. There is definitely better opportunities other than lnl the owner is a cashier as well and she waits until the last minute literally 30 mins before she supposed to be there to find someone to come in. Dont get me wrong the food is amazing but the working environment is trash.

I learned how to debone a chicken and make some very good bbq sauce. I learned time management and how crucial timing is with each meal. A regular is you show up clock in and depending on who you work wit, you guys discuss who’s gonna be on what? If your working in the front than there are three jobs, grill, fryer, or plate prep I usually pick grill because you’re constantly moving. While we’re working each day has a different area in the restaurant to clean so we get that done while doing our assigned jobs. Other than that it’s pretty simple. The hardest part about working there is the daily rush we get during lunch time. What I look forward to is eating the very delicious Hawaiian bbq. My boss managed the company pretty well with the schedule and all.

This is a job with so much unutilized potential, but it's potential that halted by the manager of this L&L location. The manager is extremely unprofessional and often allows personal biases to cloud her judgment. First-and-foremost, the manager often displays favoritism among her employees. If she likes you, you're granted special privileges and given more leniency than other employees. However, if she doesn't like you, rather than put up an effort to correct you, she will handle the situation in an unprofessional manner. As former reviewers have mentioned, she will talk behind your back, give you the silent treatment, and revoke privileges without any explanation. This treatment has caused many employees to leave on bad terms.

When I first started working there I was a little afraid. I didn't know what to expect, I had no experience in cooking or being in an enviroment of the food industry. Lucky the lovely womens that was there before me showed the ropes. They first taught me how to sliced the boneless chicken breast into two. We used these chicken breast to marinade into teriyaki bbq chicken or chicken kastsu. Then would teach me how to prep the rest of the need items takes place in menu off L&L Hawaiian BBQ. I would say through the four years working there. I was able to learn how to cook for myself and others.
