More About Working with Us!
We maintain high-standards for our work, but a laid-back team culture. The owner is particular about quality. However, she is also very understanding and kind. As long as you show her that you are honest, hard-working, reliable, and will produce high-quality and consistent food and services, she will give you a lot of freedom and authority to manage your own tasks and to provide inputs into running and growing the business.
Our culture emphasizes caring for people. We treat employees and customers with respect, understanding, kindness, and fairness. We always celebrate employees’ birthdays and holiday dinners together. The owner is always open to feedback.
We are always looking for new ways to grow our business, so you must be adaptable to business experimentations and changes. In the past year, we have taught cooking classes, sold food at night markets, and catered a wedding.
As the company grows, you will grow too. After 3 months of good work, you will be eligible for monthly bonuses based on monthly sales. As our business changes, there will be opportunities to grow into managerial positions or try different types of work, such as events catering and delivery driving, depending on your interests.
