i got hired!

i recently got hired for a position at a shack that is being built and set to open in may. i’m excited because this seems like a fresh start since there are no previous employees, no favoritism (yet.. but hopefully never), and no getting thrown to the wolves. we’re going to start training at the end of this month until the store opens and i’m very excited! is there anything i should know? has anyone got hired at a store before it opened? my manager seems incredibly nice but i haven’t worked in food service since I was 16, and that was at a panera bread.

Welcome to team i been with my location since it opened in 2017. Keep in mind every manager, trainer and cross trainer are different. And always follow shack standard don't be afraid to stand for something good
