My coworkers make me most happy about work

My coworkers and their ability to make it better

The customers and the pay.

My pay and hours provided

Helping others, but being COMPENSATED.

To get to stay a full shift and make decent money.

When I am thanked for my work

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Having management team practice professionally

Many things. Management and workload are the primary issues. Please hire more staff to ease the pressure on employees, and listen to their needs and requests. I'm not sure it can be improved without a serious change in direction from management.

Treat better the employees and respect them

Quality and presentation We need to be prepare for all shifts

If they switched out that one manager and stopped increasing the workload on servers i think this location would do better

I have now waited over 10 days while they conduct an "investigation" due to my reporting of sexual harassment from another bartender I work closely with as well as theft of my wallet ($800 in tips stolen) which only led to me being "fired".

Review from Sales Dept

Some items on the menu rarely get ordered or always get complaints. Listen to your employees! Judging waitresses on numbers is degrading, even if you had a great day and everything was correctly done your manager is disappointed and only has negative things to say. Change it.

Review from Sales Dept

Management needs retraining immediately !

Review from Customer Success Dept

New managers who enforce everyone to do fair work

Harrassment needs to stop completely

New management better traing. Prevent co workers from bullying the new employees. Not myself the younger staff

Review from Customer Success Dept

Not being treated with respect and people not being trained properly and being disrespected in front of everyone by so called trainers.

Review from Product Dept

I hate my job and everyone there

Review from Sales Dept

It cant be improved I need a new job

Review from Sales Dept

Certain people do not do their jobs and need to step up to the plate

Review from Sales Dept

People have become even more rude after covid and managers never have our backs even when people disrespect me

NEW MANAGERS, investigations questioning all employees on our opinions and experiences with our managers

Un adequate pay and it would really help if the general manager didnt have such a big ego and actually cared about equal pay

Review from Product Dept

Is to improve managment skills

Commitment to the customers but not at the cost of employees

What do you like best about your company?

The team the hours the pay and flexibility of working

The food And the wine

Clean safe work environment

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Management team and inter action

Firing people who call out all the time, and those who are late
