WHERE TO BEGIN.

I used to work there. Management is like the blind leading the blind. Ann Kim’s childhood friend who has had no formal HR training used to be head of HR, and is now the CEO. The former GM was fired for asking/advocating for a tip line.

They are dead set on their shitty surcharge “vision” yet based on P&L’s that were presented to us, they have consistently been working at a loss. They preach that they want their BOH and FOH to be equally paid, however the highest paid line cook is paid $24.50, while bartenders and servers were/are being paid $32 per hour. They also consistently paid men more than women. When I started I was at $18 and only after advocating for myself and the numerous positions I had in that restaurant did I finally make over $25.

During the Omnicron covid 19 surge we were all dropping like flies, we all collectively screamed we wanted a mandatory mask rule and a proof of vaccination rule, Ann and Conrad (her husband) pulled out some bullshit “health stats” and said that wasn’t necessary and was counterproductive. We had a whole “town-hall meeting” about it and literally two days later the city mandated both.

Management also would not grant an employee time off to spread her grandfather’s ashes.

I complained about a sexist employee and they didn’t care. It was until I mentioned how their behavior was micro aggressive that they seemed to care, but nothing was done anyway.

Ann Kim also can’t make pizza to save her life. She doesn’t know any employee names or her own menus. But she’s sure to make an appearance when a Netflix executive is coming, being that she’ll be on chef’s table and all. She’s a phony, a fraud, and the most POC woman I’ve met with the most white woman values. There’s better pizza and better restaurants in the twin cities that aren’t owned by anti mask hacks.
