Waitress in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire

Fun and friendly
Really nice place to work, the staff are incredibly welcoming and quickly become friends. Lots of team work, no complaints. Pay is excellent with service charge added

Some managers worked relentlessly while others not. Work culture are sometimes very high but at the same time, can be very low
Management can either be very helpful or very uninterested, depending on who was on shift. Staff weren't protected from unruly guests, and if a guest complains about any small thing, they were instantly rewarded, which was beyond frustrating as it meant that our work wasn't valued enough. We didn't work as a team because there was no incentive or bonding activities that allowed us to get to know e...
Waitress in Winchester
on 4 September 2023
Difficult
Very difficult management team, extremely inconsistent and unsupportive. I found the first 8 months working at cote to be amazing. However, with a change of management it took a turn for the worst, no one listening to you, being constantly told you are not good enough, being caught in the middle of multiple management members constantly arguing. Unprofessional environment. Do not recommend.
Waiter in Kingston upon Thames, Greater London

Awful
Over worked and underpaid, rude aggressive managers and the company used to take the tips and make us pay for miniscule portions as staff lunch. Spent more money than I earned.

Structured and fun workplace
Great team atmosphere and not too serious, hard work at busy times but supportive managers always deal with any issues that may occur and provide good training- apply!

How would you greet an old couple? How would you greet businessmen? If you were to host a dinner party and could invite 4 people (dead or alive) who would you pick? Other than that pretty general questions: - Tell me about yourself - An example of when you worked under pressure - Describe yourself in 3 words - Why this restaurant - What makes a good manager etc
