Crepeaffaire

I enjoyed my time in crepeaffaire, I stayed long time, the environment is fun and is a nice place to work. 
Unfortunately the head office asks constantly tasks impossible to follow so sometimes to do the job properly we couldn’t follow the rules they gave us.

Negative
-They don’t appreciate the hard worker, is a good place just for students.
-Short of staff and always trying to reduce hours even last minute
-weekend and weekdays payed the same
-full time workers do not have a fixed hours rota
-the hours change every week based on how much they need you
-head office prefer to hire incompetent people rather than people who work well.
-big responsibilities without to be payed

Positive
Young and adults payed the same
Good hourly wage
Multicultural 
Location 
friendly team 
Nice customers and regular most of the time

Overall, going back I would still go there to work, but for less years.

the staff there is usually young and lots of part timers. lovely people to work with, work can be very fun but very busy, but pay is extremely bad and not enough for the amount of work that’s done. 

the managers are usually unprofessional and leave after a short period of time. current manager is extremely rude and has a bad reputation. 

crepeaffaire management overall doesn’t really care about its employees, sadly, because all team members and leaders are usually lovely hardworking people.

good work place if you have no experience and want to learn and start off somewhere, but not that great long-term, especially if you need money.

Easy job. Taught how to make quality crepes with a caring, positive manager, and continued making coffees.
However, the variation of hours - some days leaving at 8pm, followed by opening at 7am -
 along with the frankly insulting wages, was a constant annoyance for everyone. The fact each shops has weekly sales aims whilst paying most of their staff minimum wage is hypocritical to say the least.
The pay scale where under 21s and 25s were paid less money purely due to age and not experience or attitude was also plain wrong.
A good job to have to learn to make crepes for 2 to 3 months, but unless a management position opens up then definitelty not one to have for much longer.

Worked for Crepeaffaire for nearly 3 years. Enjoyed my time of course some days are harder then others but its a good little job with hours that work around my responsibilities. Shift patterns not to bad 6-8 hrs. The pay is like most other places. The management I have always found supportive through all my circumstances. There is always higher opportunities for staff to progress with support but have to say you pick up on alot as you do the job. My team all get on like family and help each other. 
Not a bad little job to help with while in education as something extra or something you want to build up your skills an progress into management.

Very overrated food, I actually felt sorry for customers with the crepes being literally pence to make but were at a minimum of £5 to buy. 
Long hours with minimal air conditioning, underpaid every single month and when I complained I got told “nobody else has an issue” but that was because nobody else was keeping track. 
The staff were very rude to one another, not a ‘team’ at all.
The management was okay until we got busy on the weekends and nobody could handle it. 
I was always sent home early in quiet periods and not given the hours promised. 
The uniform is also hideous and very embarrassing.

I have worked at Crepeaffaire Cambridge over the course of two summers and it's a fantastic place to work!

Besides the usual stresses that you get with any hospitality job, Crepeaffaire's culture was a fun and relaxed place to work, extremely collaborative and a very support team. Free lunch and paid breaks also really help too - and the I never had to work beyond 9.45pm, which is pretty good for hospitality.

Crepes are just fun to make too! 

Like all restaurants, it can be stressful but its all about the team you work with. The hours aren't so bad, no really early mornings or late finishes. 
Free food and paid breaks - which is rare these days. 
Head office are nice, they come to stores a fair bit, so you get to know them.
I've been promoted twice since I started and I know that others have gone on to work in head office - so the company is growing and new opportunities are coming up. 

Hours aren’t guaranteed even though you sign a contract, manager would not send rota out until the Sunday so you didn’t know what you were working the next day!
Running out of products, customers complaining.
Oh and if a family member dies you get the sack for not going into work! 
If you want not guaranteed hours then this is the place to go to. But trust me wouldn’t  work here if it was the last company on the planet!!

working environment is not great, no air con throughout entire building, everyone is on top of each other. 

Ingredients aren’t always fresh. Some staff won’t clean food mixers properly before using it again - CROSS CONTAMINATION!!!!

Managers don’t care when raise any issues. Holidays/days off are handed out you very rarely allowed to book your own. 

If the manager doesn’t like the way you work or do something they will get rid of you without following the disciplinary process - which isn’t fair!!

I was working in a fast pased restaurant . After I got promoted my responsibilities was  organizing and leading shifts, managing the store in my manager”s absend ,cash up in the end of the shift,managing customers complaints,  stock check and stock order ,supporting and training other team members. Finally in the absence of the owner I was the key holder and I was responsible for the opening  and closing procedure of the restaurant.
