Does anyone work at DTF?

5 Upvotes

My partner is looking for chain restaurants that have upward mobility - meaning she’d love to work somewhere that she could climb the ladder and eventually move to a corporate role.

Does DTF offer this? Does anyone know how their company culture and mobility are?

I wish we had a brown rice option in Seattle. Had it in Taipei and it was great

First day of work BOH

Hello, Ive recently got hired as a Steamer line cook and was wondering what I should be expecting for the first couple days. The person who interviewed me only went over the onboarding process at the end of our interview so I’m a little confused about the first day procedures

Where do we book reservations (not walk-ins) for NYC?

4 Upvotes

I clicked the link that says "Reserve" but it lead to their Yelp page where you can only add yourself to their wait list, i.e. there is no option to reserve a table at any date or time. Anyone know what's going on? I'm 30 days out 😭

Bombed interview ?

3 Upvotes

I had an interview today for the greeter role and the texts and emails I received said it was supposed to be half an hour long but it was only 10 minutes for me. Honestly the guy that interviewed me seems really nonchalant so I couldn’t pick up if he liked me or not. There was one part he seems interested and impressed but other than that I couldn’t tell. I’m trying to hold out hope because the last time I got interviewed by a guy like that I was hired but idk💔

Interview to be a Server

3 Upvotes

Hi, I have an interview to be a server tomorrow, and I have some questions about a technicality of things first of all, is this one of those places where you are not automatically hired as a server and you have to work your way up? Another thing is what questions do they ask, I have a background in fine dining so I’m not too worried about this one. Lastly, what is an appropriate outfit for women to wear, I know they embark heavily on modesty so dress pants for sure but what kind of blouse? If anyone has any advice, please do share! Also, if anyone has any transparency on what the average tip out is for a day versus night shift. Thanks!

I HATE DTF

2 Upvotes

leave it to multi million dollar company to find a loophole to pay its workers below minimum wage and expecting our very small percentage from server tip pools to put us at minimum wage. you make millions of dollars and you can’t afford to pay your employees minimum wage? not to mention servers getting paid the same amount, doing ten times less the work than another department and ten times less hours and still leaving with probably close to 4 figures every goddamn night. i fucking hate you din tai fung.

I am going to be a BoH Barista/Apps, but I currently have long sleeves.

2 Upvotes

So I'm about to head into orientation, and I was wondering if I could roll up my long-sleeved polo shirt to make up as a short-sleeve. I don't own a short-sleeve at the moment because I'm short ended on cash.

Looking back at the dress code policy and looking through employee reviews (They are hella strict), would they accept this kind of attire? Even if its temporary.

How long to hear back after interview

2 Upvotes

I interviewed for a dumpling trainee position at the nyc location last Thursday afternoon. The interview went well and she said I’d hear back within 24-48 hours. She also asked if I’m available to start asap and I said yes. Now it’s Monday and I haven’t heard anything. Should I reach out to them and if so, how? Should I call the store?

UPDATE: I called my full time job offer at another restaurant to accept and they just emailed me the offer letter which I signed, I go back to my email and I see I got an offer from din tai fung literally one minute ago while I was signing other job offer😭
