    Chef at Frankie & Benny’s, October 2024

  • Best thing

    The waitressing, kitchen and bar staff are very lovely to work with - 2/3 managers are lovely to work with as well! Despite it being hospitality the customers are very lovely and very sympathetic towards you especially if you’re on your feet 9 times out of 10!

    Worst thing

    With it being hospitality of course it can feel like you’re doing a 5 person job sometimes with no extra pay!

    Whilst most of the managers are lovely, there is one that can either make the shift go okay or your worst nightmare depending on what mood they’re in that morning and can easily take there frustration out on others and has caused others to leave - hence there is a high turnover rate!
    This manager sometimes does just take their time or not help out at all when it comes to running food or drinks which many customers have witnessed this and have expressed there concerns to not only myself but others too (even they don’t admit it to them we just cant tell that manager the customers complaints about him even though you can plainly see the complaints on Google reviews)

    Most if not all the time the attitude that manager has makes me want to quit like 90% of the time, I only stay because to help save money really!

    Management, the worst stress, the managers only care about money not the wellbeing of there staff. And stepping up is near impossible with a manager who ignores you.
