My experience there was alright. Had awesome coworkers and mixed opinions on management. Tips really varied and would be hit or miss. Unfortunately COVID happened before I had the opportunity for more training.

Worked as a prep cook taking some time to get back into kitchens from my break from the industry over the pandemic. It was very high volume and not for everyone though, technical skill is difficult for most new chefs, so you will be tested in your talent, but they spend time coaching everyone. They give 2-3 people per station, more than enough to handle anything they pump out, so support is always there.

Management focuses highly on morale, they have chants, sound bites, and attentive nature about them, so ask questions! they love to answer them and be 100% honest, they cannot read your minds.

Most of all, ask yourself what you want out of this industry, if it is to move up and learn from industry vets, then this is a good place, however; it is the highest volume in Canada for sales, we are talking in excess of 25k+ a night in the summer and 18k+ in the winter, so this is not a place for a lazy worker, you want to shine, you want support and want to learn from happy managers, then apply here.

Joey's likes to take care of their partners at the top of the food chain and work the middle management to the bone with promises of career advancement. They don't pay very well and string their employees along with false promises.

If you want to learn how to run a profitable business and how to manage people, they can help you with that. You will just have to sell your soul somewhere along the line to move up.

Not Trustworthy

Young and inexperienced managers, although mostly friendly individuals. Not to be trusted, as they promise one thing and do the opposite. Lack of transparency. Too much turnover amongst managers and terrible communication.

Nicest JOEY location in the company

This is a new restaurant so it has all of the nicest equipment, decor, etc. The kitchen is first class and the team was trained well from day one. And the location can't be beaten on the quay at the water and right next to the ice rink.

Expectations are high even for the entry level positions but if you work hard it's an enjoyable job that prepares you well for your next job somewhere else.
