Responsibilities
My Neutral Pallet! This job was amazing! My responsibilities included everything from opening to closing. Counting the till. Paying out employees. Working the cashier, and taking orders from customers at the table. Memorizing orders. I also worked as a Line prep cook on days that our main cook was unavailable. I'm a shift leader. I call, and reschedule employees who are no call no shows for our establishment because we work a fast paced quick turnover company with a very young demographic. It's the best place to work if you want to be a chef or line prep cook in the big league's. It's meant to condition all employees for a real career whether that's waffle house, or as an actual Chef with a separate company. The long hours standing, graveyard shifts, and alternating shift work with four burners, and a grill top make for quick decision making, and a sunny disposition. Close quarters! All employees are crammed elbow to elbow on packed shifts so being able to do this while getting along with everyone, and meeting customer satisfaction is a must.
