Burger King

All the time at a typical day at work was very comforting I can say ,  I knew the schedule of my co workers so that I start my day with no problems , they all knew what to do before I asked ,that would make my day whether it was busy or not.I learned a lot of ways of having control of the stores not only by doing my duties as manager but also comprehending the importance of being the example for them to follow.The role of management in the environment is a very busy role but it is very exiting for the fact that you get to have a lot of challenges such as very busy days, or if any complaints and of coarse keeping track of all the needs  of the store daily.All co-workers were very enthusiastic people i loved to talk to them and knowing what they liked so that i knew the best way to treat each and one of them.Always very outgoing and they  knew that for me costumer service was one of the most important things therefore they would really bring out their best at all times.To me , personally i say that there was no hard parts of doing my job but only challenges . I cant complaint about much I really did enjoy every single experience of any type because now that i look back i realize that every single thing helped me as a better employee and most important as a human being.

Burger king is a fast food service resturant it is a high pace demanding environment. A person in a position of leadership does so much becouse they have no real designation for duties, as a  result a person who is a shift supervisor can quickly find themselves doing a job of an assistant manager that is why training begins when you enter the door and ends when you leave. You trained to be the best in every thing. how to trouble shoot equipment to stock auditing and customer services to stock hendling and storage to people and staff leadership all these skills are what needed in order to be effective in a fast pase resturant work. Its a good company to work for when you are young and need to be exposed to different type of work experiences the company instill in you an uncompromising principles of dedication to quality and safety for you and your customers and the people  you are uncharge of.

When working at burger king i started as a crew member and withing 3 weeks i got promoted to a shift manager. i am always keen to move forwards and learn new skills. while training to be a shift manager i learnt many different skills such as leading a team, guest appearance and communicating with customers, also entering figures taking thoughout the day onto the burger king system. i am a friendly easy to get on with person and my team always came to me if they had any questions. the hardest part of the job was having to be everywhere at once but i feel as i got more confident in what i was doing i managed my time aroud the burger king unit better. i enjoyed my time at burger king because i got on well with my team members and loved having people come to me if they had any questions which were positive or negative i was happy to try my best and help.

If you cant handle fast pace and rude customers then don't work in food in general. Burger king is especially bad when it comes to advancement in the workplace they will much rather hire by outsourcing for management then take away a good crew member which is messed up. Also pay starting out will be 7.25 without previous experience and you will only get a raise if you ask for one and at max it will be .25 cents so don't expect to make much money. However, management is pretty relaxed at the one I work at and it is super easy to get along with everyone and have fun while working. It can be tiring work because you will be on your feet for the whole shift and if you get too busy then you may not get a break even if you work over 8 hours its just how it is sometimes and you have to deal with it. Also you do not get free food on breaks it is half off.

Always on work and dont dodge shift noticed regula custome all the time the come. I learned alot off thing. Like how to great custome with the smile eye contacts i very important whe you with the guest and how to use softwera. I wont lie about manangers the all good all the time and if the is any mistake with the guest the handle that in the calm and respectful way and the have good to tell us with new promotions. Work place it nice and always clean. Hardest part it when we busy the time you do your own things and someone will shout you ask other things and he/she will pleases you many time to do his thing by that time what you were doing it stop. Enjoyable part it when all wont feel the pressure but it busy everyone handling their statio.

A typical day on my shift would consist of me coming in speaking to everybody in my crew individually and making sure that they were ok. I would run a real tight shift, I would have my aces in their places and the shift would run smoothly. I let my crew know that I wasn't there just to tell them what to or how to do something, but I got right beside them and we did it together. I was trying to instill in them that there isn't an "I" in team. By me doing that and talking to them with respect and showing them that in order to get respect you have to earn it. My crew loved me for that. I think that the most enjoyable part about my job, I had a crew that could trust me and I could trust them. I've had crew members to just pour their hearts out to me and they knew once we talked about whatever situation, it stayed with me.

At the beginning of every shift, I restock all of everything and make sure the dining room is in order. I want to start the day off being organized and prepared for our mid-afternoon rush. I update the specials sign based on the inventory we have left, making an effort to get rid of products that are close to expiration. No product must go to waste, and I have found this system to be quite effective.

Once the mid-afternoon rush comes in, I am solely focused on getting orders made. I try to stay focused and productive while still trying to engage in friendly conversation with our guests. I want them to feel welcomed even during our busier times. I finish off my shift by wiping down all the tables and restocking our supplies. I clean all the dishes and make sure everything is set up nicely for whoever is working next

I enjoy my job,the problem starts when there's  shortage of stock,customers will be very angry cause they will be standing on the line for minutes only to find out that they will not get what they've been waiting for.i have  learnt  a lot like how to safe guard your attitude when facing an unsatisfied customers and treating customer as an individual.the whole staff works well together to be more efficient.The hardest part of the job was to maintain the same level for the whole day to keep the speed of service 100% the whole day.The most  enjoyable part of my job is when we work efficiently and customers appreciating our work
