What are some of the best things about your team?

Mostly helpful because failure is not an option.

What did you like most about the interview process?

Quick enough, started out as a host but it worked out.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

It's a restaurant so we put our best face forward and quietly groan in the back of house.

What makes you most happy at work?

Being able to do my job and not feel like I'm struggling to make the dining experience a failure.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Understaffed, even before COVID shut down, meant that more cleaning and sidework is required for no extra payment. Longer hours and no support staff.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Value your employees time, make it fair wage and benefits so I can comfortably do the job, not depend on the customers to pay me fairly.
