    Zizzi Front of house staff, August 2022

  • Best thing

    Supervisors are great and have chatty personalities

    Worst thing

    Understaffed quite a few times on busy weekends. Hard to take time off or call in sick.

    3.9

    Zizzi Front of house, July 2022

  • Best thing

    The majority of customers are respectful and understanding when things get really busy and short staffed. They’re friendly and not all of them will leave a tip but don’t let that bother you. Because the real reward is getting to interact and bond with customers. For example, giving them small compliments. It’s rare to come across customers who are rude, aggressive, or the typical Karen who demands to speak to the manager.

    Worst thing

    Unpaid breaks, and not all the team members you work with will like you or give you an easy time. Managers may be difficult to work with and may blame you for not doing something on time or doing something else when you weren’t told to. Every day is different.
    Improper training. I’ve been at my current job for nearly 2 months and I still haven’t been trained on packing takeaways or making drinks or answering the phone for bookings.
    And I still haven’t had a 1:1 with one of the managers. I need to know what I’m doing well and what I still need to work on. They don’t give the time of day to conduct these. To at least check on your employees and their performance.

    2.7

    Zizzi Front of house staff, June 2022

  • Best thing

    free food.

    extra money from the tronc thing.

    kitchen team are nice and caring.

    Worst thing

    bad dishwashing machine which would sometimes leak or not work so I have to hand wash and mop the floor every minute (leads to overload in the pit). very unsafe.

    manager doesn't do anything about the problems that I would mention.

    sometimes understaffed which means I will have to do jobs I'm not supposed to e. g. polishing cutlery.

    3.0

    Zizzi Kitchen porter, April 2022

  • Best thing

    The team. Meals on shift. Interacting with different people every day.
