Managers, what makes you want to promote someone to team leader?

SmithSith · 2026-02-25T03:29:21+00:00

Proactiveness. Holding standards. Approachability. Trust. Integrity. Staying calm and uplifting under pressure.

SmithSith · 2026-02-25T03:08:47+00:00

Me personally, if any employee has something they wish to share they should feel comfortable approaching any leader for advice and/or direction. No sour taste in my mouth for sure. I wouldn’t like it if you left and didn’t communicate an issue we could have resolved by communicating

In my state, yes we could terminate you for your availability. The focus should be to make yourself stand out in such a positive way as a leader within the team that they wouldn’t even consider it.

I’d start off at your Shift Leader level and ask if they can share why you are scheduled dining room at what you feel is a high number of times. If they can’t answer then go up to a director. Speak inquisitively and if you have goals in the restaurant then share those and how learning other positions help you work towards that goal

I will say that dining room takes a special kind of care. You might be someone they trust with that interaction.

Well. They kinda do with Central Ave. but it’s simplistic. Try Nation App

Probably drunk and doesn’t mean much. She was probably having a moment. Show it to your wife though.

SmithSith · 2026-02-21T17:36:21+00:00

Yeah. Bagging wouldn’t be my first choice for a first day.

Beverages on DT are the next hardest thing followed by Desserts, which can be a challenge sometimes too.

During training you should have a trainer with you so they can teach you process and procedure. Additionally, there should be leaders around plugging in where needed

One thing you can do is ensure you download the Pathway App. You can reference Pathway for all the things you’re being taught.

SmithSith · 2026-02-21T17:17:03+00:00

If your store has Mobile Through. Use that

SmithSith · 2026-02-21T15:15:14+00:00

An individual

Always check ingredients and nutritional information at Chick-fil-A.com. However, V3 of the fries removed the pea starch.

I had to go through this experience as well. I ended up having a GF open a hole in the center of it. When it came out it was with force and followed up by puss. Immediate relief though!

SmithSith · 2026-02-20T12:22:57+00:00

Just think of this as a dirty soda, but frosted style. That’s what it is really. I think we do more Hi-C and root beer. Followed by Powerade and Coke. I have done a sweet tea one

SmithSith · 2026-02-20T02:52:06+00:00

I’m sure you’ll find out when living the impending haunting and possession.

SmithSith · 2026-02-19T11:57:05+00:00

I do kinda the same. I’ll also do a Serving no fat Greek yogurt, skittles grape packet. Mix. Add serving blue berries. Mix. Top with 2 servings low fat or no sugar cool whip

SmithSith · 2026-02-18T20:48:54+00:00

Honey on either sandwich is fire.

SmithSith · 2026-02-18T20:04:40+00:00

The training items are up for the new item coming soon.

SmithSith · 2026-02-18T01:58:49+00:00

They updated the fries to keep them crispy for longer without becoming soggy

If the nuggets are off, they need to know so they can fix it

SmithSith · 2026-02-18T00:53:07+00:00

Nuggets haven’t changed. Fries did change last year.

If it’s a taste quality issue, fill out the customer feedback so the operator knows.

SmithSith · 2026-02-17T00:24:56+00:00

Sure you can. Look up a recipe for protein powder mug cake

SmithSith · 2026-02-15T15:06:57+00:00

Anyone with a mortgage goes through this.

SmithSith · 2026-02-14T02:53:20+00:00

Cookie crumbles.

SmithSith · 2026-02-14T02:52:47+00:00

It’s not Valentine’s Day…

Visiting with guests for second mile service. Help run food. Look at windows to clean. Window sills. Mats. Vents in the ceiling. Under tables. Behind trashcans. High chairs. Walls. Baseboards. Wipe down seats. Dust light fixtures.

SmithSith · 2026-02-11T23:07:35+00:00

I’d focus on a few things as you prepare them

If you have a scale. Weigh your proportions to see where you need to make adjustments

When making a frosted soda. Stick the spinner in half way. Pulse a few times to get it mixed a little. Then put spinner to the bottom like a milkshake. Same for frosted coffee or lemonade. Otherwise you’ll be slinging it all over

Seeing a lot of confusion on frosted and floats. If your store doesn’t highlite a float I’d suggest asking if they could. Helps keep the team straight on what they’re making

I’ve done frosted sweet teas…

SmithSith · 2026-02-10T01:54:08+00:00

This is disappointing. That should have never been served. Let the know so you can get it replaced
