Leaf & Grain

Leaf & Grain is a great employer for someone who desires a position where flexible schedules, friendly culture, and job growth opportunities are the norm. The pay (along with tips) is more than fair, if not generous. This job is certainly fast-paced and can be stressful, at times, but team members are often recognized for their diligent efforts and continued improvements. 
Leaf & Grain often allows for a flexible schedule, and they are especially willing to work around personal family needs or school schedules for students. Also, some locations are closed on the weekend.  
The team members are very welcoming and friendly, along with being willing to help you, if needed. Everyone is very team-oriented and willing to do whatever is needed to get the job done. The management/ownership team is trustworthy, and do their best to help their employees achieve their goals.
There are always opportunities for growth and gaining more knowledge. Leaf & Grain ensures you are trained very well in the menu and procedures of the restaurant. The training may not be easy at first, but there are step-by-step instructions on almost everything in the restaurant and someone will be there to guide you along the way in your first days. As long as you work hard and follow directions, you will do well in this company!

Fantastic place to work, really can’t recommend enough. I’ve worked other jobs that pride themselves on culture, but Leaf & Grain is truly a step above. Was worried I’d be behind coming in with no restaurant experience, but got caught up to speed pretty quick. Plus the team is always positive and willing to lend a hand so it’s never too overwhelming.

Managers are understanding and give you tasks that can be challenging, but also meaningful and impactful. Good change of pace and variety throughout the day makes staying engaged easy. With a good attitude and hard work there’s also room to grow. Lots of opportunities to step up and add value. Definitely a strong sense of camaraderie towards wanting to be the best – “impact” is emphasized a lot. Which is a great reminder to always try and be a bright spot in each customer’s day.

And management is made up of high quality people who I’ve seen work incredibly hard and put a ton of thought into making the right decisions – everything from the menu to treating customers well to taking care of employees. What other kind of place would you want to work at? Great pay is a plus and the salads are also 10/10. Join the team!

You will learn some good basic kitchen and knife skills working here.
Schedule is flexible, but be ready to apply to a second job or even a third job since getting hours at this company is rough so be ready to beg for hours.
Everyone that works at this company are pretty chill overall, but watch out for the management team. They will throw you under the bus for the smallest things or single you out from the team if you "mess up" in their eyes. 
Write ups, write ups, write ups, get ready for them because every move you make is observed and judged by upper management. 
Micromanagement and favoritism is a playground here at this company so be warned. 
Culture is everything to a workplace and here is no exceptions, it's pretty chill ,but just know it may be used against you.
Thinking of advancing in the company? Well- get ready to get over-worked and low hours, but if you can manage that, maybe upper management will consider you.
Overall, it's just your typical food workplace, good as a side job, but not in the long run as you will be burden by a lot responsibilities and duties for meh- pay.

It is a good job to start at for food/restaurant, or for college students. Pay is extremely generous, I started at 8.50 with NO food experience. There are no other benefits regarding insurance, or paid time off, or any of that. So, yeah. But for the most part, management is really understanding regarding personal issues, and reasons for not coming in. It's really hard to get fired, unless you're really lazy or never show up at all. One of the most understanding bosses you'll come across. If anything, it's the other people that make working there unpleasant, and I think most of them left. You get to take breaks  when you want, and enjoy a free lunch, as long as it's not during peak time. I enjoyed working here, transportation and personal issues caused me to leave, not management, for the most part. It's downtown, so you either pay for parking or spend an hour on the bus and walk half a mile. In conclusion though, it's really cool to see a company grow, it made me happy to see it myself.

Started working in the summer. Pay was more than I expected. Work could be tiring sometimes but the pay, coworkers and the enviorment overall made up for it. You get to have a break and make yourself some lunch. Going through training was a pretty straight foward process nothing is too overly complicated and if you have any questions other team memebers or managers were always willing to help. I did not have any food training or resturant experience before this, so their training really was not hard to follow. Hardest part of the day was probably taking out trash but there is usually always someone there to help you so its not that bad. Management is understanding to any personal situations/issues that may come up. Overall good company to work for, and be part of. Plus  its great to see/be part of a growing company!

I absolutely loved working at L&G! Apply here if you’re looking for a great job, higher than average pay and flexibility in job scheduling. You even get a free meal with every shift (and the food is actually really good!) Management is willing to accommodate other jobs/school commitments. The management/owners are very committed to your success as an employee and is very involved in the day to day aspects of the company. When I worked at L&G I felt supported and encouraged constantly. The environment was very positive and inclusive. We were encouraged to become friends with our coworkers, but the number one focus was always the customers - as it should be. Even if you don’t have experience in the restaurant industry, as long as you have a good attitude and are willing to learn, they will teach you everything you need to know. I would highly recommend applying for a job at L&G - can’t say enough good things about this company! 

The job was relatively easy and, as most food service jobs are, it was fast paced. You are given time to memorize the bowls before serving customers and the recipes are posted in store, so you don't feel lost. The managers were always open to questions and would help you along the process. 
There is a number of the people who work here who are in school, so they do work well with student schedules. The latest I worked was until 5pm, so I always had off nights to do homework, quick grocery shopping, etc. I also enjoyed the environment of the job and even had outings with coworkers outside of work. Most of the people I worked with were chill and willing to help one another. 
It was an overall good experience. I would recommend to students, first time workers, and/or people who need nights off. 

I was given a list of things to do every day with expectations and when went over the timed expectations i was held liable for putting others behind. If have learned anything at all from working here is that i get paid the same as a chipotle worker with less benefits with less hours. As management wanted to write me up after the first couple of weeks because i was still so behind on tasks. My experience with the workplace culture was great at first until you work so hard to get noticed but never rewarded. I was never quick enough still for 2 months as there timing expectations reached my limits. I only enjoyed my free bowl once i got out of work and i could never breathe as a cup of water would affect my time expectations. As leaf & grain represents a tree and i was like a leaf in autumn just waiting to fall off as it was just a matter of time. 

Lacking structure and safety protocols that a more established business might have. Will accommodate your schedule.  You will probably not get a raise til you work there over 2 years. Training is difficult and the pay during that time is low. Training will drag on despite promises to the contrary. Turnover is high. Owners are unfriendly. You will be micromanaged often by others with less experience and your valid points will be dismissed. Other team members are usually great. The insurance is terrible even on their most expensive plan. There are some very kind managers there on the plus side.  Unfortunately they've been given quotas for write-ups. And you will not receive a warning. The culture pillars are a dishonest representation of the way it actually is. 
You will not be compensated more for certain harder positions ex. Cook. 

I've had the best time working for Leaf & Grain. First of all, their culture and team members are outstanding. Being around kind, fun, energetic people makes the work so much more enjoyable. Culture is never something that should be overlooked! As for the work itself, I have enjoyed every project I've been on. The work you do here has immediate impact, which is extremely rewarding. The management always provides useful feedback, which has helped me grow not only in the context of my career, but also as an individual. The people here (all team members and management included) really care about what they are doing and the impact of their work! It's refreshing to see such purpose in the workplace. If you are looking for a job, it's definitely worth applying to Leaf & Grain.
