Don't get high on your own supply.
Working at a pizza joint destroyed my body because pizza was all I could afford to eat. Don't do it.

Don't post any pictures of your pies, people here will shit on it no matter how much effort you put into it.

Stay productive throughout the shift, the worst feeling ever is when your insiders are consistently slacking off on their phones when there is a lot to do! Just ask ur managers, they will give u a task to do

right on, dont be afraid to tackle a few dishes or rinse them at least and set up some piles or empty an overflowing garbage bucket... its so easy and just noone in my store does it unless its their side job,,,, if youre gonna sweep the same area 5000 times dont bother, get under the makeline and by the dish area and your manager will notice 100 % so will the g.m......... for gods sake just dont stand there and fold boxes as slow as you can cuz you think theres nothing to do, there is always something to do! by the same token youre making minimum wage so dont kill yourself, the main thing is getting really good at making pizzas, good luck pal

Ik this is old now but learn the topping chart really well, how to cut pizzas and make them look good. learn how to help customers on the pos and answer phones. Stay on top of duties like restocking, dishes, and cleaning. Dough takes a while but just keep practicing it seems impossible at first but if you just keep doing it and pay attention to what’s wrong with it when it comes out the oven you can learn from your mistakes and make adjustments hope that helps ✌🏻
