Amazingly, insulting prospective employees doesn't work
Yes, it's definitely a good idea to pre-emptively insult your potential future employees and offer a mediocre salary with the added incentive of having to very hard work to earn it. Good job team !
Slow clap.
[Might it be that rather than an entire generation being at fault, the would-be employer is just an arse ?]

Also, terrible grammar throughout. Sentences which end. Unexpectedly. With strange introductions that suggest they're going to end. In a different way to which they do. Are they trying to ask questions. If so they should use question marks, maybe ?
ReplyDeleteVery professional. Extra points, team !
Should you ever be put in the position of hiring anyone you can't pay much, three things to consider:
ReplyDelete1. Does the person have any lasting commitment to your organisation? Tea House Theatre, from the reviews, has service problems already. Everyone ought to be sacked and start over.
2. A restaurant/bar/teashop is a theatre anyway. People can eat cheaper at home. If something isn't working, change the show. Disney calls the customer service area "on stage" and the rest is "offstage".
3. If you're incapable and unwilling to do the work yourself, you shouldn't expect to hire at anything but higher than market rates.
To make a restaurant work, you must understand it's the booze that pays the bills but it's the level of service which keeps the customer returning. I've seen places like this: they're vanity projects run by people who neither understand the business nor care for their customers.
