Pur and Simple

Working as a dishwasher has been a rewarding experience. The job involves ensuring that all dishes, utensils, and kitchen equipment are clean and ready for use, which is essential for the smooth operation of the kitchen. The work environment is fast-paced and requires attention to detail and good time management skills.

One of the highlights of this role is the teamwork. Collaborating with kitchen staff and other dishwashers creates a supportive atmosphere. The job also provides a good opportunity to learn about kitchen operations and can be a stepping stone to other positions within the culinary field.

While the work can be physically demanding and sometimes repetitive, the sense of accomplishment from keeping the kitchen running smoothly makes it worthwhile. Additionally, the job often offers flexible hours, which is great for balancing other commitments.

New management is ridiculous. Expect so much of their. They have cut their staff down to a skeleton staff and expect them to do the work of three people. Full-time employees only get a couple shifts a week because they say they don’t have the hours to give everyone but then turn around and hire their own ethnicity and give them full-time shifts  All they care about is Google reviews and upselling and not customers it’s strictly profit over people and it’s embarrassing when management has no idea what to do.. cramming people in on top of each other (blocking fire exits)  in a restaurant because you want the money doesn’t look good. This place has become a horrible place to work for I used to like my job.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

I've worked at the Riverview location for not even a month and had to quit. Completely unprofessional and they don't know what they're doing. Took 3 weeks for my pay to come in, didn't get my tips either. Matter of fact you got to use your own money OUT OF POCKET for your cash float. They make you do some bs math that if you're in the negatives after shift you have to give them your money out of pocket. The place is extremely disorganized, owners aren't friendly, they've changed FOH management probably about 4 times in a month. I wouldn't recommend this location at ALL.

There was no “best part”. It was horrible.

Never knowing who the owner was at any given moment or whether you would have product to sell. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic and decomposing. Like dying slowly. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Me thinking about if I can afford to walk out on this job or if I NEED to have another job lined up first.

Very fast pace environment.  
Management at North York location are  very nice everyone is treated like family.  Feedback either positive or negative will be given from time to time about your performance but guidance and coaching and appeciation is always there.

Pretty bad place to work at if you’re hussling to make good money. Owners usually don’t have previous restaurant experience just have money. Don’t know how to run employees and business. Company does not trust employees everything is robotic. Company founders are fake, customers don’t get real service with all the barriers we face. Training is a joke compared to other corporations, breakfast shouldn’t be rigid.

The work environment is positive and welcoming, which makes each day enjoyable. Management is approachable, fair, and genuinely supportive, making it easy to bring up questions or concerns. Expectations are clear, and the team works together. It is a 
 workplace where people respect each other, and that makes a big difference in overall job satisfaction.
