Huge wake up call as I was helping my manager sift through 50 applications that came in the past week all from highly qualified candidates.
We’re currently taking 8 table sections (I work at a fine dining restaurant and that is way too much with the amount of service we have to give). And yet they have all these amazing candidates applying each week and barely hire.
These restaurants constantly blame the poor service and servers stressing out on “being short staffed” and “nobody wants to work”. They just don’t want to hire – for literally $3 an hour which is what we make. It’s ridiculous.
