Live! Hospitality & Entertainment

The working environment at this company is alarmingly negative, and this is largely attributed to the profound shortcomings in its leadership and communication. A particularly concerning observation is the company's response to negative feedback. Whenever a critical review is posted, it seems there is an immediate and overwhelming reaction from their marketing team, suggesting a concerted effort to suppress or overshadow honest critiques. This behavior points to a deep-rooted issue within the company's culture, which can be described as unequivocally toxic.

The leadership team, in particular, has shown a consistent pattern of dishonesty and unreliability. They have a history of making enticing promises to employees, often about special positions or opportunities, only to renege on these commitments. This breach of trust is not just disheartening but also speaks volumes about the lack of integrity and accountability among those at the helm.

Furthermore, there are significant concerns regarding the misclassification of employees, a practice that can have serious implications for workers' rights and benefits. Despite the presence of some genuinely good individuals within the company, these positive aspects are overshadowed by the overall toxic atmosphere perpetuated by the leadership.

The most troubling aspect, however, is the opaque and potentially unethical practices that seem to be occurring within the organization. These practices not only raise red flags but also contribute to an environment where trust and transparency are severely lacking.

In conclusion, if you are considering employment with this company, it is crucial to take these issues seriously. The negative reviews and experiences shared by others are not anomalies but indicative of systemic problems within the organization. It is strongly advised to consider alternative employment opportunities where a healthier, more transparent, and ethical workplace culture is maintained.








I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt because it was a new restaurant opening. It’s a really chill place to work at, as a Host. Other Host jobs I worked for, I always found myself being a Host, a busser and a food runner but in this restaurant, you’re a host and that’s it, which I like. As a server though, it’s not the best. On average you’re expecting to get 3-5 tables a day, maybe less. The restaurant opens at 5pm, so you don’t really get to have a long shift, after three hours they tend to cut you off.  You’re better off making money elsewhere where. Now the real reason I gave it one star is because management don’t work together. I would be hearing two different things from management, even got yelled at from a manager because I accepted a big party that the other manager agreed to. Also, they never tell you if you’re fired. They stopped scheduling me for 6 weeks now so I just assumed they “fired” me? It also gets very chaotic. They don’t tell you what to do, and most times managers are not even in the area. They’re in a whole other restaurant upstairs and you probably won’t be able to find them for the rest of the night. So if you’re reading this and still want to apply, be careful, although everyone is friendly , don’t let them play with your money and hours. This job is only good as a second job. If this is your only job find another one. You would only get scheduled 2-3 days a week. Maybe even one and then one day you won’t be schedule at all and they won’t say anything. 

Or Sayon & Social as the employees call it. This place is quite awful. There is a “clique” mentality among the FOH, yes even the managers. The management is extremely unprofessional and give you the run around about everything. Only the favorites (managers and a hand full of FOH staff) get shifts even though they advise you to quit your job and have open availability. Training is a mess. Could take you 1 day or 4 weeks to complete training depending on if they like you. The schedule comes out late, like day of sometimes. Avoid this place. GM is rude and not helpful. This place will be it’s own demise. 

Corporate owned establishment that plays favorites. Management is extremely biased when it comes to discipline and only few people are held accountable for their actions. Management is also very disorganized and unprofessional. Corporate isn’t any much better, as they are just as disorganized. No structure in this company at all. Will tell you what you want to hear and make promises to keep you around, but will never follow through. No appreciation for employees that have been there since the beginning and who work hard. The managers have their favorites and will cater to them.  There is opportunity for growth but don’t think you can get a chance by being a good employee. That’s not important here.

Just like any job, every place has its pros and cons. Pros, management truly cares about you. If you have a grievance about something they will do their absolute best to fix it. My coworkers are amazing and we all look out for each other. We all hang out inside and outside of work. Majority of us have built relationships that are more than just being a coworker. Corporate management will actually speak to hourly staff unlike a lot of other companies that I have worked for. They know your name and actually have a conversation with you. The owners will actually speak to you and ask how your doing. 

I am in awe that a place of little disposition was able to market themselves to such success. I mean this place is so unorganized, and the mangers had no integrity. Instead of getting rid of core problems they hired to people to “clear the house”. The other staff is either so friendly or you feel like you’re stuck in high school again, which to me felt so petty considering they’re all pushing 30. They either scheduled too many people or too little people during shifts so you’re always feeling stuck with no help from the mangers. I urge you to find another company because they do not care about their staff just the money they make in the process. S

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part was the atmosphere other than that I disliked it. Management was all over the place but yet still micromanaging. Also would talk about employees behind peoples back.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The micromanaging, different schedule each week, management was racist in my opinion. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awful, everyone dislike everyone and talked about each other.

High Turnover,Started with a great team day 1 then later went bad food takes a long time  and turn from work to a chill spot.Foh and Boh work as 2 separate team with with jo communication which almost started a fight when I was their manager where cool day one then left cause Live Ent,Then They Ferllow Me and fired me without putting me in schedule or contacting  me,despite contacting them would honestly give them no stars,stay away

I have worked for this company for over 8 years and moved up multiple positions since I started.  Faster than you would in most companies. I have also worked at multiple of the locations. They saw potential in me and have given me the leadership and encouragement to make me the leader I am today! Everyday is different (which I admire) with all the entertainment, live music, and events we do! I highly recommend working for this company! 

From start to finish it was a terrible work experience. This is worse, unsupportive, penny pinching, unorganized, irrational, delusional company I have ever worked for or ever witnessed in my life. There’s no work life balance. No support when there’s lack of staff. Their mentality is “just make it work.” Corporate has management constantly fearing loss of their jobs. They always point out problems but no solutions on how to fix or and support. All in all a terrible company to work for.
