Pros

Opening a restaurant with this company was fantastic. Knowledgable upper-level management, considerate, respectful, full training was extremely helpful. The first month was wonderful. Interesting concepts, (seemingly "innovative" at least to the AZ dining scene...) trendy, unique dining experience.

Cons

Being told not to tell guests your name (how weird is that??), harassing floor managers, scolding, sarcastic attitudes from chefs and managers (unless you were part of the select few servers who were the "clique"), terrible wine list, frustrating mundane rules blocking up the flow of service. Very fake customer service facade. I've noticed this at FRC restaurants across the board EXCEPT for Olive and Ivy. Generally, food quality and presentation does NOT match the pricey menu. Ultimately it was extremely demanding and the work required wasn't worth it!

Being honest and real with genuine kindness is the standard. Sounds like we are missing the mark somewhere along the way. We would love to hear from you directly to help rectify your experience. Thank you for opening a restaurant with us and working for us for over a year.

Worst management, overworked and underappreciated

Pros

Good food and discount. Benefits were inline with a corp position. That's about it.

Cons

Management doesn't have a clue about excellent talent and loyal employees. If you aren't "trendy" or model material you are treated badly or ignored. You basically get hired on looks. It doesn't matter if you are loyal or you work hard for them and the the littlest situations happen and they belittle you and reprimand you for that you see other people do the same thing and get praised for. Definitely family oriented..to line the pockets of Sam and Brian. This company is a joke and treat their employees terribly.

Pros

Learn about food, ingredients, healthy and sustainable lifestyle concepts. Casual atmosphere, friendly colleagues who are young and idealistic and want to make a difference.

Cons

As an employee, you must represent a fraud. They claim to be locally sourced when most produce comes from Central America. Claim to be sustainable when meat and international ingredients are anything but. Claim to be healthy but in most cases fat is replaced by sodium. They don't want you to say that. And if you don't "fit in" with the groovy, sucking up mentality, they find a way to push you out.

Your Advice to Management is solid. Not being truthful goes against everything that we believe. If you would like to talk with us offline we would love to listen. Thank you for working with us.
