Hi there former employee here! I will give Kristian his flowers on his recipes, they're tasty but that's all he's got. Kristian loves to drone on about how he had 5 Michelin star restaurants close during the pandemic but fails to take any accountability about his failure as a leader and business owner. He doesn't require any food handlers or rbs certs so in turn the cooks do not date food when it comes in, prepped or stored. Nor wrap or cool the food properly, this can be confirmed by the SERVRAL 1 star reviews siting food poisoning, also the rat review is 100% true, there's so much food for the rats here. Health hazards galore. Maybe you've seen the swollen hot sauce containers in your Door dash order? Most of the 5 star reviews you see have been bought with margs on the house. Kristian turned a blind eye to his 40 year old bartender serving literal high school students to the point they couldn't stand & vomiting between my car parked in front of the restaurant, it took him 3 weeks to do anything about it, I quit. There is no dish soap, one handwashing sink with soap for boh and foh, the other sinks drain directly to the floor & black mold is crawling up the walls, there's no sanitizer for any of the any of the dishes, plates, or for hands, the chip baskets are growing black mold under the liners specifically in the basket weave. There are no standards of practice or training for that matter, so sometimes the servers are grabbing the used baskets and reusing them, there's only one dishwasher employed, he works the pm shift, so the 30 qty of baskets are not clean. The pipes are old and guests put paper towels down the toilet causing the sewage to back up regularly, there's only one mop and broom for the entire restaurant and there is no proper cleanup of raw sewage. Do not work for this man, I answered an ad for a manager position at $25hr, he filled out my tax forms & never sent me a contract, turns out I was doing extra work for minimum, his logic is "my hourly doesn't matter because the government will take it all from me in taxes" ?? He claims to have never taken a paycheck but if you look in the computer, he is keeping 1.75% of his servers tips, we are not allowed to have or cash tips, he takes them and "returns" them but there's nothing to record how much we're actually making. I didn't take a break once while working for him, but I suspect he fixes the timecards to cover his tracks, he doesn't pay overtime. Oh and if you're planning a party he will take your money, put you on the books but will fail to make a contract for his employees, until the morning of, so we have to delay opening the store to make sure the party can happen, but he will blame the opener for "sh!tt!ng the bed", as if he isn't in complete control of the contract. He is the only management lol.
Good luck, be safe! read more
