Northwest Restaurants

Management was very hands on; works right along side you. Small numbers mean that you get to know everyone at the restaurant closely. Facilities are dated, but clean and (as often as possible for older equipment) in working order.
Free lunches were a boon. Make sure you set a rigid schedule; otherwise you're basically on call, and will rarely know exactly when you work. 
Work culture emphasizes fast task switching to make up for the unusually small amount of on-shift employees, and otherwise being reliable as a whole. You'll rarely be bored; there's usually always something to do. Atmosphere is very relaxed (except on busy days, where things can often get extremely hectic). Customers are generally well mannered.
An excellent first job; always looking for new hires, in a good location near a bus stop and major road, and you'll have stable employment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The crew I had to work with was amazing. Management in store was amazing.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If there was any kind of problem needing to be put to HR was always postponing and to the last minute and access to accurate information to contact HR was not easy to get. Time card was not always what was worked.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture of environment was friends and family of company holders with a few scattered semi diverse people to balance it out.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in start shift you work on whoever's register if cashing out that day otherwise you kinda float if trained on multiple areas or just in whatever station you are assigned. Ask for your break or you don't always get one unless your a minor

An average work week for a salary employee was 55 hours a week. Bonus based on profits and loss budget. Training program in place for team members and shift supervisors. 
Learned how to manage labor, food and paper cost and sales. 

Work place culture depends on what store you are at but all in all they are pro having fun as long as everything is getting accomplished and money is being made. 

Hardest part of the job is the long hours. 

Most enjoyable is training new team members and growing them into managers.

In store management can be great, or disgusting, but it doesn't matter, because those that determine policy, regulations, and standards have never worked in the restaurant. Employee turnover is so fast, no general manager has lasted more than two years in the store for the past ten years. Average employment lasts less than one year. This is a place you go to when you don't have options.

Salery pay sucks big time. With the pandemic managers are over worked and under paid totally. We are so short staffed just like everywhere else but no one seems to care about how hard your working just if the numbers are coming out ok. On top of that I think I've been cheated on my pay a few times which reminds me, its impossible to read my paystub cause it totally doesn't make since. 

Triumph Technologies was a small business located within 5 miles of my home at that time. It was run out the owner's home. They had chickens and a dog. I did not enjoy the environment there. It seemed that everyone there went to the same church except me. When they finally found out that I was not of their religious persuasion, I think it influenced their decision as whether or not they would lay me off. They laid me off.

This company was great for many years but within the last few years it’s gone completely downhill. They’ve shut 12 stores giving most of the workers as little as 24 hour notices and say you have to start from the bottom if another store will even take you. Promised vacation time and raises that were never seen

This job is a good first job, it teaches you how to work hard and how to problem solve, as well as handle food correctly. The most enjoyable part of the job is friendly customers. The hardest part would be cleaning the fryers. Management was flexible and kind and the co-workers were fun and hardworking.

I did my job with no supervision.  I enjoyed the job, loved the people I did work for. typical day went to store and repaired equipment/monthly maintenance, interacted with team was very enjoyable.

Hold the wrong people accountable for their actions. Upper management plays favorites and hard work is not rewarded. Extended work hours but did not pay more.
