Cafe Landwer Employee Review

Fun workplace, varied management

Hostess (Current Employee) - North York, ON - 20 December 2021

Location I work at was very busy in the summer, very slow in the winter (plus covid makes it worse). Fun place to work at, coworkers are very nice and friendly. Managers are hit or miss.

Pros

Free coffee and tea, discounted food, fun staff

Cons

You get cut really early if it's a slow day, no free meals on shift, management varies depending on who is on shift

Fun, but fast paced work environment

Hostess (Former Employee) - Vaughan, ON - 7 February 2020

Working at Cafe Landwer was very fun. All of the staff are super nice and very welcoming. It can be very stressful on weekends due to the long lines, waiting lists and reservations.

Busy place and the tips suck

General Manager (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 20 February 2022

The worst part about working there was the owners are all over you all the time and demand so much send give so little. The staff are fun to work with and it was fun to be there but you can't get broken down everyday with constant negative conversations

Pros

Great food

Cons

The money wasn't what was promised

Want to forget how to cook?

Dishwasher/Line Cook (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 15 February 2022

Dirty, Cheap, Dirty,Craziest company I've worked at in my many many years experience. Dishwasher machine also often has no chemicals only Luke warm water. Their fresh ingredients are all frozen. They keep food on the floor. Often don't have a dishwasher because they want to save money. Resulting in cooks doing dishes and cooking YUK! Head MGT will make anybody a manager, if it means they don't have to work. You will 100% be overworked & underpaid at all locations.
