Salsas Fresh Mex Grill

A typical day at Salsa's would be getting there in the morning, preparing all the food and making sure it's delicious for the customers, and then cook it on order and present it to the customer.

I learned things like communication, food safety, food presentation, cleanliness, etc. 

The management was very supportive and helpful. They would often give you lots of feedback and offer you advice when or where needed.

The culture and environment in the workplace was very upbeat and we would all work together as a team and gets things done quickly and efficiently.

The hardest part of the job was sometimes when it got busy and you would have to stay very organised and keep a cool head.

But the most enjoyable part about working at Salsa's was the awesome team I got to work with and constantly learn and improve my abilities in a fun, character building job!

The most enjoyable part of my day was serving regular customers and making them happy. 
I learned a lot working at Salsa's such as working as a team and realizing the loyalty other team members have. 
My co-workers lets just say were interesting a few of them i got along with very well and others i found to be back stabbers. 
Management was also very interesting previous managers were fantastic the most recent i would say isn't so great and personally i don;t believe is management material. 

A typical day at salsa's was of course preparing everything for service ( food, cutlery, takeaway boxes, filling drink fridges, cleaning etc..) 
I thoroughly enjoyed working with them but must say if you are wanting to work here make sure you don't have any other commitments they are not overly supportive if you have other obligations they expect you to be more available for there business then your own personal commitments.

(After the store was sold to new owner)

- Management was very poor.
- Did not acknowledge your skills, abilities and experience but instead only looked for a way out to save money eg. Hires and/or have new younger staff members on instead of the more experienced. More time is spent however, to train the members to get to a team leader or manager skill level.
- Always pin pointing people if there is an issue or complaint instead of analysing the situation as a whole and resolving it on behalf of the team.
- Things always get really personal in the work environment.
- Plenty of bad-mouthing behind closed doors.
- Discounts on food were probably the only highlight.
- They do not have the customers-are-always-right value. Voices were raised if there were complaints rather than approaching the customer is a more stable tone.


There are plenty more but Ill leave it as that

I worked there for some time. At the beginning, seemed quite okay but my store was heavily understaffed and was hard to work at. High amount of pressure to work fast and hard in time limits which become practically impossible for just one person. Pay is okay in line with award rates but very difficult work with little protective equipment such as aprons or gloves for dishwashing. Training is quite insufficient and quite rushed with high expectations handed out too quickly and early. Other team members are quite nice but management and those in charge can be pushy to work very hard and fast in line with unrealistic expectations. 

a typical day at work will be a really chill and relax morning preparing different ingredients, from 12 to 2 the business will be really busy and after 2 customers will continue asking orders but not as much as during the rush hour. 

The management is excellent, the different managers have works a lot to improve standards, speed, presentation, quality, etc. 

The environment is really nice, currently i´m surrounded by people i really appreciate 

Cooking on the grill is the hardest part of the job, it is really hot, you mini burn your hands all the time and you have the pressure of stopping the entire chain if you are not efficient.

Friendship is the part of the job i enjoy the most.

all the salsas team members were really friendly we always got jobs done quickly and efficiently i met alot of new and kind customers and i could memorize regulars orders but id always double check with them in case they wanted to try anything new 
my manager was also very friendly and easy to get along with he was approachable and would always answer any questions i had to ask 
the hardest part of the job was probably when there was something new added to the menu and id have to memorize what it was made up of but eventually i got to knowing it all 
the most enjoyable part of the job was probably the skills ive benefited from it such as knowing how to make yummy tacos

A typical day at Salsas would be very busy during lunch hours and could be quite stressful. I learned a new skill which was waitring and it was quite enjoyable. Co-workers were friendly and fun to work with. The hardest part of the job was waitring during busy hours since I was the only one on the floor and had to handle everything pretty quick in which I succeeded. Most enjoyable part of the job was the rotation of the positions. As in, one day I would be waitring, the other day I would be in the kitchen and the next day I would be on the cash register taking orders. It was a variety of work.

You are expected to work long hours without breaks, the management staff all ask different things of you which is conflicting and leads to confusion, and the supervising staff expect unrealistic things from you which leads to unfair disciplinary action being taken. The job is not enjoyable as you are constantly put under stress with no goals in mind to achieve. The only enjoyable part of this job was the interaction with understanding customers and being surrounded by teammates in the same position as you.

Overall, meeting new people and establishing awesome friendships were the only highlights of working at this place. management was terrible and dodgy, Staff were underpaid, wages were inconsistent, STAFF were scolded for trying to achieve bosses unrealistic goals and demands, Best of all not being given a copy of contract, Pls if anyone working here experiences the same as me i'd recommend you take your case to the Ombudsman or Fair Work Commission.

The owner is one of the rudest people I have ever met. I should have never accepted this position if I knew how much trauma this place was going to give me. They scare off customers with their behaviour. They want everything to be done "fast" but refuse to teach the job properly. Only a few good staff that help make the time enjoyable. The owner even called me "dummy" because I was new and did not know how to do certain tasks. They would complain when I would ask for help. I am so glad I left this place because I love my new job.
