The absence of effective management and structure creates a disorganized work environment, compounded by the lack of proper training protocols has left employees feeling unsupported and uncertain. The lack of effective leadership contributed to difficulties in communication, coordination, and overall morale among the team. Clear communication channels are crucial in a restaurant setting to ensure smooth operations and exceptional customer service. Unfortunately, this was often lacking at The Story Cafe., leading to misunderstandings and frustration among staff members. Additionally, the absence of bar seating diminishes potential revenue streams. However, the most significant concern is the high turnover rate, indicative of deeper issues within the establishment. Overall, I cannot endorse The Story Cafe as an employer due to these fundamental shortcomings. This place has a long way to go.

If you are looking for a job that demands all of your time on work days and days off this is the job for you. Working for this company will no allow you to have any personal life. The GM and Owner are friends and have no idea how a hospitality business should be run. The owner is a person with money that has opened this so his band has a place to perform.
Just a side not….$30,000 of this salary is tips that are taken from the hard working service and kitchen staff.
