Why is getting a free meal considered a"benefit" ?if you work somewhere with food the least management can do is feed you for free . A FREE MEAL IS NOT A BENEFIT!

Apparently, it is when employers like mine only cover 20% of your meals, but I agree with you 💯 This should just be standard when you work at a restaurant. Plus, we rarely have time to take a break to eat anyway.

At least the meal isn't deducted from your paycheck :(

No kidding! What’s worse is when you don’t get free food but just discounted food. I hate that. Management always acts like it’s some big benefit to give us a 30 percent discount on food while working.

Benefits have various tax implications. It differs state by state, but defining a meal as a benefit may be required / more beneficial to your employer. I wouldn't take it as a slight

I think if you’re paid less than the average and you are getting a free meal it’s a requirement and not a benefit. But if you’re paid well (like some servers), and you get a free meal, I’d say that’s a perk. I do think BOH should get free meals but not sure about FOH (especially if they make a lot).

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
