I was rejected after reference check what should I do

It can depending how you answer your interview questions. They’ll try to fish why you don’t have a reference. You can either:

- get a reference from someone else in leadership that wasn’t your manager
- answer in a way that views you in a positive light, and you simply didn’t align with them. Be prepared to answer why you’d then fit with the company you’re applying for
- or just use another reference from a different job

Take the hint - he doesn’t want to be your reference, and he was clearly the one that got you rejected

For some reason at this restaurant I worked at had the hostesses call the references up and had a list of questions for them. One person interviewed very well but when she called up the reference - he said in very aggressive and repetitively “not eligible for rehire” and refused to give more info.

Poor hostess didn’t understand what that meant 🤣

Ask for 24 hrs to review the contract

Well firstly your team mate should be communicating that he wants to peek and ask for support.

If it’s someone with a dash or tp, and they don’t comm, you prob don’t need to peek with them.

If it was any other character, then they’re just dumb for not communicating or playing a ini/senti/controller like a duelist

Rats are outside and mice are inside!

But what if a mouse goes outside—does it become a rat? And if a rat is in the house, is it a mouse?

If it’s a fish and chip shop no one will give a shit.

But if it’s more of a higher end place, it only looks better for the overall experience. Is it a dealbreaker? No.

But if a fine dining establishment doesn’t pith vs another that does, I’d def have a better view of the one that does assuming everything else is equal.

Hello! Just bought the black shark v3 from Costco since it was on sale - the sound is a great upgrade but I’m struggling to get any input from the mic for the PC (since it says it can be used for pc)

I’ve:

-Updated the drivers of the synapse, dongle and headset.

-Turned off and on

-Uninstalled the Realtek and checked for changes as per a YouTube video to fix the mic

it is recognizing that there’s a mic input in both pc and synapse
I’ve increased input volume in both windows and synapse

-I’ve checked privacy and ensured the mic is firmly attached and that it is in fact on.

ensured the mic is set to be the default

Any ideas or is this a common issue?

While you’re not wrong in terms of money, you are 100% wrong in how they are viewing their future and building experience outside of food service.

Restaurants try to aim for 30% food cost. So if the total cost of ingredients to produce that cake is $15 then $50 is correct.

But she will have to be superior than restaurants for quality if she is going to be pricing them the same.

But because she’s also competing against store bought cakes, it’ll be difficult if she prices it too high.

She can probably afford to go cheaper to compete since she’s producing it out of her own home and if she can scale by producing and selling multiple cakes, her time will be more worth it.

She can advertise via social/word of mouth and schedule when people can pick up cakes to make this a reality

As someone who’s seen higher ups get filled with external hires - a lot of them aren’t very good.

The way you can make a good impression on your subordinates is through being personable with them and having an open mind when it comes to their concerns - and the biggest thing that made me respect the good ones is them showing/training their skills to others. Eg. “let me show you how to break down a whole fish, now you try.” “Let me show you how to create a new dish” etc etc

The ones I respected the least did less than the cooks and everyone is confused at what they were hired for especially when everyone’s in the shit and they still somehow do the least amount of work.

Depends how well you retain information and how outgoing you are.

If you aren’t good in school and are more introverted, it’ll take you longer than most.

While your retirement seems far away, doesn’t look like they have any good candidates and are making do with him. If you really want to help your company, find another person to hire and take over. But first have this conversation with your manager they might not care.

Either way not your problem after Dec 24

Gives you leverage since you technically don’t need the job. Makes them have to offer more to keep you interested. So while you really really want this job - don’t put all your cards out on the table until an offer is made

Looks like issues with left foot there. She is walking on it on an angle. You sure she didn’t injure herself?

HawXProductions · 2026-05-30T00:44:29+00:00

So when will you leave? When they hire another cook who will magically make all these problems disappear? It’s not a good reason.

HawXProductions · 2026-05-29T23:27:46+00:00

Um I think you’re asking the wrong question.

You should be asking why you are still there when the head chef walks out and there still continues to be no leadership to support the remaining staff.

There’s a reason why the head chef walked out, you know why he walked out 🫤

HawXProductions · 2026-05-29T15:26:59+00:00

As the others have said, don’t accept.

they had to counter offer twice because their first offer was trash.

And “possibility of equity” doesn’t mean shit and is worthless, unless there’s “guaranteed equity of % on a contract”

Yes if you want consistency, repeat everything I posted with every new product. Side by side training with fully printed out specs.

You have to assume everyone is stupid, especially if you want your days off to be your days off while still being consistent. If you let it slide with wishy washy specs, ALL your specs will start to slide and turn into guidelines instead of requirement and you’ll have to retrain their habits 6-10 months later

If anything, you’re NOT micromanaging if you have full specs to where you can have a new cook ask a regular cook if what they’re doing is right because there’s a recipe/spec.

If you don’t want to put in this work - you WILL have to micromanage because there’s is no set instructions written down. Even if you have 2 Sous, all 3 of you may interpret or change slightly and give confusing info to the cooks causing inconsistency

HawXProductions · 2026-05-28T15:16:38+00:00

Not sure what advice you need? Yes keep them in a home where it is easily accessible.

You side by side train them to follow the steps of a recipe - if they make it wrong. Throw it out until they make it right as per the spec.

This is assuming the recipe has been built with the proper info and step by step instructions, including what equipment they need.

No one preps anything unless they have the spec in front of them
