Busaba job reviews

  • Best thing

    The environment when the whole team is working is parallel to none. Such good people with good hearts both back of house and front of house. So much fun to work with them. The team is the best part.

    Worst thing

    The way the company is run is not focused on driving but on increasing profit margins by cutting costs. That means, cutting hours, ordering less. It is incredibly difficult to make the money that this branch makes with the labour they're willing to give. They work like donkeys andbit infuriates me that head office makes these demands of GMs without any care for how the staff will be affected.
