      Disgusting establishment. Avoid at all costs!

      Pros

      None whatsoever. This place is a hellhole.

      Cons

      The colleagues are beyond nightmarish. Racist and unprofessional Neanderthals that ridicule you in Thai and bully anyone there that isn’t Thai. They actively condemn customers that don’t leave tips - which is embarrassing to be around. They don’t follow food safety and health rules and undermine you when you try to abide by the law (lie to you about what the law even IS). High volumes of harassment, shouting, and shocking mistreatment. Stealing from tip jars. Breaking glasses and scapegoating the nearest person. Shocked and appalled that such a shoddy business can be run in a developed country like England. I’d only expect this behaviour with mentally challenged children.

      Great benefits and pay but no work-life balance

      Business outlook

      Pros

      -50% off food. -Flexible working hours. -Service Charge so they pay better per hour than most restaurants. -The teams I have worked with in this company have always been great, people are encouraging, supportive and understanding.

      Cons

      -Shifts are often scheduled and cancelled last minute, and it feels like working on call except without the pay. You often feel pressured to take shifts because you have no idea when your next shift will be. -Had shifts changed without being informed. This has then been updated in the work group chat, but not actually changed in the rota app which I think is unprofessional. -Outside the holiday season you are lucky to get more than 10 hours per week.

      Pros

      free food (which isnt even that good since the management cut costs on the recipes and everyone even customers complain about this) the pay is alright

      Cons

      abysmal work place - management is insufferable. very inexperienced lots of favoritism young irritating and micromanaging upper staff regret working there, left within months treat you like numbers not people and make sure that they dont give you enough time when rota hrs change this job put me off hospitality seriously
