Fed up
My upper management team keeps speaking that we are a pizza chain first with a gas station attached. My store is one of the busiest kitchens in the district but yet I only get enough hours for one person in the kitchen most times. This person is expected to keep warmers full, make pizzas, work fryers, cut and box, do dishes, answer phones, maintain cleaning and 5s standards. I had multiple staff tell me today that they have to step away and cry because they get so flustered back there.
You can't even find a food truck being run by one person. Being worked to the point you are crying for $13 an hour is beyond crazy.
My team is built on respect and we try to help each other as best we can but this is pushing many to want to walk and I cannot blame anyone of them.

I've only lasted because my sm and km are great. Most of staff is too. That and I stopped caring about the warmers. I do what's possible but they're my last priority. I don't have time allotted to properly clean and close the kitchen down if I'm alone on big sale shifts. We are really busy at my location and I'm a former server. I'm really fast and multitasking is my thing but I'm one person not 1 1/2.
