Crust Gourmet Pizza

My typical day consisted of coming in and organize any web orders that needed to be prepared for delivery that day, then organizing what prep work needed to be cut/cooked or ordered for the days shift and relay that to my kitchen hand staff. then i would unload deliveries of stock and check it all off with the help of my hard working co workers, then the shop was ready for lunch service where i bounced around from customer service serving customers, making pizzas, some times i would deliver them which was a high light for me as it gave me a little break on the road. after dinner service i normally counted the days takings ready for banking in the morning, and organized the next days roster as it would normally change on a daily basis. I learned how to deal with all walks of life with a positive attitude even though sometimes there was alot of pressure. the hardest part of the job was keeping up with demand being one of the best pizza shops around.

A typical day at work usually started around 5pm and would begin with setting up the pizza bar in preparation for making pizzas. It would then involve serving customers either over the phone or in person and then rolling dough and creating pizzas. It would then involve swapping containers for the food in the front so they would be fresh for the next day and cleaning surfaces in the front and sweeping the floors. I learned how to serve customers and make pizzas. Management was instructive and friendly, very easy to get along with. Workplace culture was relaxed and friendly, other staff was very easy to get along with and made for good company. The hardest part of the job was sometimes rolling dough in the back after a few hours would be straining and tiring. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to know the staff I was working with.

Fast-paced work environment that requires 100% effort at all times. There is a constant push for further improvement, with no mistakes. Up sale is an ongoing task to get the sales up to satisfy the owner/manager. However, managing customer complaints to prevent dissatisfied customers is a daily challenge. Maintaining efficiency within co-workers tasks aids the business to run sufficiently, keeping every party pleased. The most enjoyable part of the job is the constant learning and improving upon ones skills. Customer complaints become challenging when consultation with the owner/manager (whom does not speak fluent English) is required. Work was enjoyable until the business got sold to new owners and new employees got hired, resulting in the deduction of hours.

The work wasn't too bad but more often than not i found myself under a lot of pressure to perform better and work faster when i was already working to the best of my abilities ,there was poor communication which often resulted with incorrectly made orders or duplicated orders.I Didn't have a big problem with the hours but as a student at the time i found myself worn thin by the work / life balance.the hardest part was at the end of my shifts for the week when i got my pay that amounted to $10 an hour ,and after 3-4 months of working there i got a raise...to $11 an hour.It wasn't the worst workplace in the world but there is a lot that needs to be improved mainly in staff treatment ,wages and sanitation.Not the best place to work as a first "real" job.

Crust was an overall good first job.

I was thrown into an environment with friendly, helpful people that helped me get the ropes of what I was meant to do. I learnt a variety of skills such as, how to use a cash register, interact with customers, prepare meals, clean etc. Expect to be doing every aspect of the job; there are no set positions. 

I am not entirely sure what the pay is like for people who are not a minor but for me, the pay was below average. The managers were very helpful and through my training period helped me in any situation. A job at Crust will be very useful to develop key fast food and customer service skills. 

If you are searching for a first job, Crust is a good place to start.

Crust was a very fast paced working environment as all food orientated jobs tend to be, i learnt to maximise my time on the job and how to roll pizza dough. The real challenge of working with crust was not the minimal hours or lack of shifts but the temperamental owner, she ran an extremely strict work place, in my last week at working at crust i missed out on one of my shifts due to being sick, when notified ahead of time that i would not be coming in i had my hours cut to 0 and then in the following weeks i was removed from the roster. Since working there i have heard that management has changed and things at crust have improved

Great work culture depending on store. Headquarters should make more of an effort to check people are being paid properly as the owners didn't pay my last few weeks of work. Despite this, I had heaps of fun over the years. Would recommend as a first job, just make sure you are getting paid. 

A typical day at crust can be quite stressful and overwhelming at times but it can be quite good at times. Some co-workers are lazy and inefficient making it difficult to understand their continuos employment there. I have learnt many customer service skills and staying calm and efficient in a chaotic environment. Management can be lazy depending on the manager but over all fine. Hardest part of the job is the unwelcome angry customers, most enjoyable is the short hours because it works into everyones busy lives however it is unfortunate that my crust usually only has 3 hour shifts.

overall my experience with the company was very good and delightful. I have learnt a lot from working with this company like how to deal with costumers, how to interact with them. The co workers were also very co operative. Ready to help you whenever I got stuck with some matters. The thing I like the most is the supervisor's dealing with the staff. His behaviour was very generous and he was always ready to help in any matters.

Crust as a franchise did not appear to always make the wisest decision in growing its brand, however, the Store Manager at Crust Ellenbrook did a fantastic job working with what he could and fostered a hospitable work environment. 

The pizza is also fantastic. Far exceeds any other pizza chain in terms of quality and taste, however, the prices are too expensive and a lot of the 'upper crust gourmet specials' were not appealing to a good majority of customers.
