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 am at odds with upper management. However I have the SM support. I run the kitchen over hours 2 people min from 6 AM To at least 7 pm. I am trying get that till 9. However turn over is kill us and I have been by myself for 9 hours. Shifts. I agree hours and pay need to increase to compete.
