LOS CUCOS MEXICAN CAFE

Like any job Los Cucos has its good and bad days. A typical day at los cucos for me as an assistant manager really just depends on the morning shift. Depending on how it went in the morning thats how the GM mood is affected. Sometimes its not the best mood but we all have to go in and try to have a pleasant day to provide great customer service. We all work as a team in my shift. I stay attentive to see if there is anything I can do to make my coworkers jobs easy. All of my coworkers are easy going nice and responsible.The hardest part of the job might be getting ready to close. We are all tired by the end of the night and sometimes we have lagging customers but we put on our happy face till the last client is gone. performing pour side duties as fast as possible to finish up as a team and head home.

What is the best part of working at the company?
so much room to learn and grow your knowledge in the restaurant industry. the employees are friendly and helpful overall. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
management being put out when you ask for help. then you have to figure it out yourself and run the risk of messing stuff up.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
the environment is fair. it isn't great because grown men will flirt and date minors and management finds loopholes so they don't leave that person unemployed.  this is a recuring issue here. i want to trust the people i work with and feel safe there, but i do not unfortunately.

Usually I get to work 10-15 mins early, if not in school. Before I could jump on the clock, I've got this one busser who is not doing anything telling me to refill everything. I loved working with all my servers just did not like working with that one busser. The hardest part of working there was deciding if I wanted to go back. Our general manager was the worst. There will be absolutely nothing to do and he'll come out and have us start cleaning the spotless windows, and what ever he could come up with. I did not enjoy working at Los Cucos during any day of the ten months I was employed.

A typical day at this job was just constant moving around. I learned a lot how to manage a restaurant and how things must be managed also managing money and how to waiter. My co-workers weren't all so great all it takes is to get to know and who not to know associating wise. Hardest part of the job well there really wasn't hard at all pretty easy you just gotta be willing to learn and to learn quick. Gotta say the most enjoyable part was associating with customers you learn a lot from them not always do you get friendly ones but even then you take something everyday.

The work at LOS CUCOS was not particularly pleasant, this however can likely only be said about the one in which I worked. The management was selective in the sense that while some of them were rather professional others were unnecessarily 'bosses' over the smallest things and would micromanage everything throughout the store. With an understanding that the store is a "Mexican Cafe" there is a clear and rather obvious language and cultural barrier between those who spoke Spanish and those who did not when it came to relations with the management.

In this company I had the opportunity to grow, if you have the will they will notice and promote you, however favoritism is something present in every location, kinda like when the chief of the tribe is the oldest, well, something like that, big events and parties are only reserved for employees that have a nice relationship with the manager, not a fair distribution at all. Manager often go on power trips over employees that did nothing wrong but they just dislike. Good cash money during busy seasons, not so much during the rest of the year

They have a culture of rules do not apply to family and close employees. The owner plays favoritism. 
There is no benefits here, no bonuses , and really bad working conditions. They make you work 6 days a week and have no family life here. Too many people making decisions , so they change their minds all the time . 


It's a great job but, but it recently burnt down so everyone got transferred to another Los Cucos., you have to remember what the customer or customers ordered don't forget their drinks, I loved working here it got me a lot of tips but you do have to pay out your bussers. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nice environment and friendly community 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some manager are strict, every time they change them! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mexican culture and more getting in Tex- Mex 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Weekends are the most busy day

The place used to be good to work at, decent money for a somewhat easy job. New management has no respect for their employees who have been there for years. Managers pick clear favorites. They are unable to work with your schedule and will write up or suspend you if you cannot make it to a shift you told them you were unable to work. The mangers gossip about their employees to other employees.
