What are cleaners and domestics saying about pay at Pizza Express?

  • Best thing

    The team I work with, the discounts and getting to leave after a shift

    Worst thing

    The fact that head office are pushing you to be perfect at everything when that is impossible. They haven’t worked in a restaurant for a while so they don’t remember what the day to day life is like. The constant little changes to the menu that you don’t always find out about until they are delivered to your restaurant. The fact that the managers don’t always treat you with respect and just expect you to do the work of two people cause they have to cut the labour so your left running round like a headless chicken and then getting complaints from customers because the service isn’t up to standard. They don’t always give you the recognition when you go above and beyond your role. They pay their employees such as chefs and shift managers just above living wage where other companies pay better.

  • Best thing

    Pay is decent enough for now once tips are factored in. However this may change with Fair Tipping Act introduced by government

    Worst thing

    Labour is too tight now compared with a couple of years ago. If labour is cut any further it will most likely be unsustainable
