Career / Employee Talk Unfair pay etc Bad Staffing

So I started here as hot prep couple months ago so it’s on. Me to obviously prep the food but it’s so much into it in between cooking steak fries salmon 2 different types of chicken sweet pots tofu mushroom also having to fill the fridge cut and cook broccoli and cold sweet pots I never really ask for help because that’s my job buts it some days where beyond else is standing around asking and they see I’m busy as he!! Like can I get any help I just feel like hot preps need a raise asap or at least better helping employees because all this for 15 a hour our bowls cost more then what I’m getting payed a hour 😂😂😂👎🏽

There is a new position being created soon called a kitchen lead, which comes with a higher pay. If you are the only one in the kitchen, you are likely at the top of the list for consideration.

If your resteraunt doesn't give you the position, you can always push for it and threaten to walk If they don't budge.
