What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Understanding the ins and outs of how an actual restaurant works versus being focused on sales solely. Not creating unrealistic expectations and then being disappointed when it's not able to be delivered. Not running multiple promotions at the same time when the guest can't use multiple promotions.
Review from Sales Dept
Controling emotions and scheduling and common curtesy -
Care more about your employees
Lead with heart and care about employees more
I need to get paid.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Being rewarded for my hard work instead of just making me do more work when my coworkers slack off. Being able to add auto gratuity for parties of six or more. Going back to caring about the guest experience instead of turn and burn mentality. Allowing a 10 minute break without making me feel bad.

They keep employees at part time hours to keep from giving them benefits.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
We have a lot of regulars and people really used to love it but about two years ago, everything started changing and now it just feels like a lot of complaints and every time I go to work, there's something new and there's some new thing that I have to inform the guest anout.

We need to stop focusing on labor costs becuase when we cut servers to early to keep up with labor customers get bad service and complain
Executive team is uncaring and out of touch
stop misleading the employees and talking about fairness. The company keeps talking about how unfairly they have been treated by Landlords, but then turn around and do not pay their vendors for goods and services.
I feel like I’m treated unfairly by the management. I also feel like they don’t listen
