Larry's-Giant-Subs

Management has always been more of the owner rather than corporate; the manager makes the shots on how to run rather than everyone follows an instruction book handed down from corporate office. That of itself is a double-edged sword, the restaurant can run a bit better having some freedom, but pay is less and there are little to no benefits. In this case at the Larry's I'm working at, work is easy and slack. My manager doesn't breath down everyone's neck and micromanages, but he makes sure the work gets done right so nothing and no one gets in trouble, so that he makes a nice friendly environment everyone enjoys.
The real problem though is the employee managing and hour scheduling. It has always been overstaffed since I can remember, and because of that, hours and shifts have always been tight. Worst comes, you'll show up early in the morning ready for a 6 or 8 hour shift, just to get sent home because apparently someone accidentally scheduled too many people to work the shift. Or you end up getting sent home early because all the prep work got done and even though its busy simply because you got mismanaged to work with too many people.
And its just a sandwich shop, so its a cutback job, its nice, easy and friendly, but at times you'll be bored out of you mind, frustrated at the random scheduling, and make little hours and money.

As a new company starting out it will have its ups and downs. I just feel that the location will hurt us at times because we just will not pick up at all any time of the day and we will send everyone home but two people to close up. The co-workers overall either show up wanting to work or its like trying to pull teeth in getting them to do anything with any form of motivation.

The owners give it everything they got, they just need an overall better team on staff that can uplift the store from its rut that its in.

I have learned that working hard every day still does not cut it when your on a team. Flying solo has its specific times but not in the job place. You are only as strong as the weakest link.

The managers need to be trained properly in how to run their shifts on time management not sit on the back on their phone or not wanting to do simple jobs like mopping when its just you and one of them closing.

I was hired on the spot at Larry's and enjoyed every second from the minute I started working here, and the minute I left. I still visit frequently for the great service, and amazing food. I usually worked the morning/afternoon rush shift. I enjoyed the fast-paced style of the restaurant. When I was hired I was about 5 months pregnant and was able to keep up with the fast-pace and high demand of preparing the food, once I became further along I was accommodated and moved to cashiering. I was the only woman in a group of men, but they never treating me as an outcast. We all had a great sense of humor that kept the shifts running smoothly. We were also all determined work first and play later, to accomplish all out tasks. I recommend this job to anyone who is looking for a job that doesn't feel like "a job." If you are people friendly, enjoy a fast paced environment, and are not easily stressed, this job is for you.

Fast, fun, and had a large menu to memorize in a short period of time. I loved the King Kong theme and the quality of the food, for being a sandwich shop. I took the opportunity to work for the owners brother at another Larry's location and soon began to work closer to full time hours, up from my part-time status. I enjoyed the times when we were extremely busy and were still able to quickly satisfy the customers and reflect on how well we did as a team. The times when I had to close the shop down all by myself and I would get a rush of customers built my confidence up as an employee and a professional. The joy of tackling those challenges made it a job I am glad I was able to be hired for.

My day starts with a build to list, then in between serving customers, following a daily checklist. Nothing has been learned from this job. This is the easiest job ive ever worked. My manager is a long time friend with a horrible attitude, hates people, never chats or makes small talk with the regulars. Rolls her eyes if the customer wants something extra. She has absolutly no respect for the customers. Im not even sure how she got the postion, cause the owner doesnt really care for her. My co-workers consist of 2 other people. They are great, lazy at times, but we always manage to get the job done, and they always look up to me for answers, which i love. The hardest part about the job is being there all day, open to close, with absolutly nothing to do. Its a low volume location, so we arent to busy after lunch. The most enjoyable has got to be the customers, the regulars. They have gotten to know us so well.

Working at Larry's Giant Subs was an amazing place to work at. When you work the opening shift you get everything filled up and ready to go for the lunch rush. When lunch time hits you have at least 4 people working to help with making the subs. you have one person on the register, two people making the subs, and one person bringing it out to the customers. After the lunch rush you restock on things that have gotten low and pre-make some of the meats, to make time go by faster the next day. At night you clean the floors and the restaurant so it is ready for the next day. The owners are amazing and will work around a schedule. The people that work there are so friendly and are serious about getting the job done. The hardest part of the job is when lunch rush hits and you get backed up. The most enjoyable part of the job other than the subs, is the people.

Working as a high school student at Larrys was really beneficial because I got quick money from tips, but also learned how to be a hard worker. Before the job, I thought it wasn't difficult to work at a sandwich shop, but you have lots of expectations you must meet to be a good fit for the job. For me, I enjoyed the fast pace of it all and how much responsibility I was given. I love a challenge and once I figured out all the different types of sandwiches, how to deal with difficult customers and situations, and how to work in the fast pace work situation; I honestly loved it. All of my coworkers are so fun to work with and just made my shift fly by.

Working the morning shift usually involves trying to get all of the prep work done and making subs during the lunch rush, which can typically last between one hour and three hours. Working the midday shift usually involves completing the prep work and continuing to make sandwiches. The evening shift involves any last minute prep, stocking the line, and closing down the store while serving customers until closing. However, there is often a lack of discipline and teamwork in the store and unfair compensation and movement in the job environment for the people that show they're hard workers and have proven they're trustworthy and show up on time.

Larry's is laid back unless it gets a rush. Most days have fluctuating waves of slow and fast paced waves of customers. Rarely there are fast paced steady days/nights. I learned that dealing with people can be tough stuff and it can be annoying to constantly clean your station due to it being dirtied by others. The workplace culture is quite relaxed as well. The most difficult part of the job is dealing with one another during stressful waves of customers. The enjoyable part of the jobs would be getting to enjoy the company of those you click with as well as just getting paid.

I would open the store by turning on all machines, lights, signs and T.V.s. Then I'd begin preparing the days meats, cheeses, breads, and vegetables. When the store would open we would greet all customers, if not have a conversation with them, and take care of all of their needs. We take care of all the cleaning through out the shift we're working. I handled inventory, calling orders in and counting down drawers, as well as bank runs. Also, when there was an issuse that needed to be taken care of, I would take the necessary steps to correct it. I enjoyed enteracting with the customers the most; with out them there would be no us.
