Review content:
I worked for Chef Howard a few months back and let me say, while his food is amazing his personality is the worst. I am 17 and the Chef was aware of this and required me to be at the restaurant during school hours causing me to miss important things at school etc. I was only trained for two days for a job that I expressed that I had never done before. He was very rude and loved to make people feel stupid. Not including the fact that he does not pay at a pay rate, he pays you a break down of whatever tips you made that night and on the weekends you must split your tips with the kitchen. So there would be days when I worked 14 hours and only made $50 and other days when I worked 5-8 hours and only made $15. Not saying that the customers did not tip well, they tipped accordingly but the break down that chef howard gives his waitressess is not fair at all. And ending as the discriminatingly rude person that he is we had a big party one night and I made a mistake on the addition of one of the checks but my co-worker corrected it before it was finalized, This was my first mistake ever and Chef Howard began to yell and curse me out, making the situation even more stressfull. I have ADHD & Bipolar disorder and in anger management courses, they tell you when you are in a stressfull situation walk away and calm down. So I told him "" Calm down, I'm trying my best"" while I began to cry, I tried to keep my composure in front of our customers and I walked to the restroom and proceeded to calm down. After that I was fine for the rest of the night. Later on in the team meeting he began to call me out in front of the team and said "" Moe, I don't give a F&^k about excuses. You don't walk out of a situation when sh!t gets tough."" I replied "" Well I made a simple mistake but honestly I know how to do it, I was just stressed"" he said "" No, you don't know what you're doing and you need to go home and work on your math facts, you're almost a senior and high school and you don't even know how to do basic math, that's sad."" I said "" Actually I do, and you know I know how to do this perfectly because the other day I was the only waitress and I had everything perfectly. So It's not like I don't know how to do math. I'm not stupid."" He said ""Well I don't give a damn about excusess. You can ask them, they know me, I don't give a damn about excusess."" I just said "" ok, sure."" then later as I collected my measly $50 for the whole enitre 14 hour day of work when every check was $100+ that day, I was called to a booth by him. He said to me, "" Moe, I'm going to give you a second chance so come tomorrow at 9 am, you'll be the only waitress again."" I said ok. He then said, "" You can't be just up and leaving when sh!t gets tough."" I said, "" Well I that's one of my coping skills."" He said ""well you're going to have to find a new one because that one isn't going to work.? I replied "" Well I have bipolar and when someone is screaming, hollering and cursing at you, you're supposed to remove yourself from the situation and cool down before you explode."" Then he said "" Well we don't need any bipolar people working here."" I said, "" Ok, so you don't want me to come in tomorrow?"" He said "" No"" So I got up and walked over to my former colleagues and told them that this would be my last day and I was out this bitch, I quit, he's disrespectful and he can get sued for his behavior if I really wanted to. They gave me their final goodbye's and I haven't seen them since. Later their main waitress left also. So all in all, Chef Howard is a horrible person that needs to learn how to talk to people.
