DO NOT WORK HERE - Server Fujiya Ramen Employee Review

Good money, super flexible schedule and the management really cares about taking care of their workers.

Hard work. Physically and mentally tiring. Super fast paced with high expectations from management.

You get to keep all your tips—no payouts to food runners or bartenders or busboys. Customers are nice and job is fast paced usually so the day goes quickly. Not many other servers so you can work as much as you like. Menu stays consistent so you don’t have to memorize different lunch/dinner/special menus. Easy to get time off. 50% discount off food when at work and a free bowl of ramen every shift is the best perk.

Management has no experience. While there are no tip-outs, this is due to servers having to do everything (bussing, bartending, taking orders, running food, cleaning the bar/wait stations/front of house, sweeping and mopping the floors, cleaning the bathrooms every day). Schedules come out Sunday night or Monday of that week more often than not and unless you have other obligations to work around are not consistent. If you work lunches they are almost always slow and the amount of side work you do doesn’t balance out the tips you get (as a starting server you get paid barely over $2 an hour as base pay). The kitchen is dirty and cleanliness standards are way off. Management only values you if you obey their every will and the second you deviate from what they want they’ll go to extreme lengths to get you to quit because they aren’t professional enough to confront you or just fire you. There is no professional leadership in the dining room or in the kitchen. No room for advancement and management doesn’t value long term employees.
