Fun work enviroment

Assistant Kitchen Manager (Current Employee) - gastown - 15 March 2023

Good people, a bit disorganized but what restaurant isn't.A bit unguided in the job but lots of learning situations arrive from that.A lot of other people feel the same about the situation, but hold out because of the environment.

Needs to disperse hours and tips more fairly

Server (Current Employee) - Victoria, BC - 13 March 2023

Really short shifts with a tip pool just doesn’t work. “Floor leads” shouldn’t exist as they just get longer hours for less work. Free staff meal for all employees is nice

Great staff and fun environment

Lead (Former Employee) - Gastown - 18 February 2022

Everyone is nice and cares about each other including owners. Great tips when it comes busy season but people burn out every day. It brings employees to get bonded though.

Pros

Free meal, great tips

Cons

They don’t keep giving a raise unless you move up to the management

Not a very good work place. Stay Away!!!

Prep Cook (Former Employee) - Yaletown - 25 August 2021

If i were you guys i would stay far away from this place, it is not as inclusive as they say they are, when i was working no one would ever talk to me and they would always also talk in there own langauge never in english. The training was horrible, never got shown how to do anything right, prob the worst training experience i ever had. The only good thing i would say is you get a free staff meal when you work, other than that worst place i have ever worked.

Pros

Free food

Cons

Horrible training and false advertising.

Was hopeful but disappointed

Human Resources Assistant (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 20 April 2021

I did not feel as though I was respected as an employee nor did I feel that I received the training I needed to be successful in my job. Communication was unfortunately not effective and work/life balance was not respected. Overall I feel as though management could do better in providing an environment where staff feels supported and prepared to complete the tasks needed to do the job. Also, the management could improve by implementing a training program prior to hiring new employees.

Pros

Gym benefits free food

Cons

communication training management

Excellent work environment for all types of individuals

Kitchen Manager (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 29 December 2019

I worked at meet as a line cook, assistant kitchen manager, and kitchen manager. I enjoyed all my roles in this restaurant. The company is LGBTTTQQIAA++ friendly. Helped individuals grow within the company. They have work events like picnics, work prom, & work parties. A typical day at work is setting up your line for service and the rest of the day goes by pretty fast until you are finished. The most enjoyable part of the job is spending it with amazing people that share similar values and are very accepting of everyone. The hardest part of the job as a manager is finding work-life balance as it's such a busy restaurant and there are times when it demanded more of your time but all is worth it because staff was generally happy and the customers kept coming back. I would work for MeeT Restaurant again if i was in the city.

Pros

free food if you are boh, work events, close knit staff memebers, busy

Cons

days can be long, busy

fun workplace, don't expect to get rich

Server (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 23 February 2019

Fun place to work, but not a place to make money. Shifts were short during the day, sometimes not starting at all Co workers were all fun and easy to get along with Management were approachable and understanding, as well as flexible Free meal with every shift- the food was good Great staff perks and felt like a family.
