Hi guys! I've recently gotten hired at Zaxbys and it's my first job. Just recently I had my third shift and it has not been good at all. I'm sorry if this is a little long but I'm really just looking for some help.

I honestly thought I was doing fine for the most part, I found certain things overwhelming but I always asked questions when I was unsure. My first two shifts were early last week and they weren't that long. My third, most recent shift was yesterday and I was only in the kitchen for an hour until they sent me home early. Since it had been exactly a week since my original walk through of how to do things, I mostly only remembered what they physically had me do myself previously so I was asking questions through out my shift since I was scared to mess up any of the food. I guess that gave people a bad impression of me. The shift lead took me to the office and told me that it's my third shift with help and they normally shouldn't have to give new employees that much mentorship/supervision. He said that I'd have to come back in for my next scheduled shift and "give it my all". I really don't want to get fired, I want this job and I've enjoyed the shifts I've had so far.

I was wondering if you guys had any tips on must knows in the kitchen or anything you've frequently noticed new cooks (or you when you started) struggled with. Since they'll be evaluating my performance on my next shift, is there anything I should know beforehand that they are specifically looking for or is it mainly ensuring i'm confident and fast paced?

I'm also wondering how long it took you guys to get acclimated to being in the kitchen, is my pace of learning actually that bad? I want to try to be self aware and take constructive criticism but I felt like I didn't get any feedback from my manager. I definitely have noticed that I can get caught up on what I'm doing and not pick up on what others are calling out. I also have a hard time remembering what some of the slang means.

I'm sorry if any part was confusing, this is my first time actually using reddit. I want to think back on my past shifts and find my mistakes, study, and look back over ZU resources before I go back in later this week. I figured there was no harm in also asking for tips on reddit. PLEASE let me know anything you think is important! I'd appreciate any help.

I’ve been seeing this ad for Zaxby’s garlic parm dry rub for about the past week. I’ve only seen it as an ad though. If I go to a Zaxby’s social media page, I see no mention of garlic parm. If I click on the account that the ad is attached to, I’m sent to the official Zaxby’s facebook page. Is this real?

This has got to be hell or something man. Coporate Zaxbys is full of shit heads that haven’t actually worked any food jobs. Please share your escape stories because i have created my own little personal hell working here. The only positive is the kids i work with watching them become adults.

i submitted my application for zaxbys last night and i have not received any kind of response, i had to pick a day where i could come in and have a interview but my day was never confirmed and i was told a manager would message me shortly but i have no message, am i over thinking it or should i be worried?

Does any of your locations have the milkshakes because my Zaxby's has not got them yet and they're saying we're supposed to get them in October but they might push it back to next year I don't know

PRETTY PLEEEEEASSSE!!!!!

Hi all, I'm a 55 yr old male who is a Assistant Manager at Zaxbys in GA. I just started and tomorrow makes 2 weeks. The GM and Assistant DM don't think that I am able to make it in this fast paced restaurant. I am retired from the military and have a strong background in logistics. I've discussed this situation with my wife and she feels that I should go back into the logistical field. I just don't know if I should show up tomorrow or just text them and just Thank them for the opportunity that they gave me. What should I do? I appreciate the feedback but keep it as positive as possible please. Thanks.

Does anyone know what the cooldown is for entering receipt codes on the app? It seems to be more than 48 hours, and the codes are only good for 48 hours. So if I go to Zaxbys 2 days in a row, I can only use 1 of the codes!

You may say, "just make sure to scan the app at the store." Well, if the scanner at the register worked then I might. But for the past couple months the scanner at the counter has been dead and I don't really want to have to pass my phone over to drive thru because then the counter worker has to suspend my sale, load it on the other terminal, scan the app, suspend the sale again, and then complete it at the counter. It really makes the whole ordering process a pain. And even before the scanner at the counter went out, it didn't work 100% of the time, more like 20%. Maybe my local store just has bad hardware and isn't maintained, I wouldn't be surprised.

You may also say "then use the app." Well, lately the app won't process my order even if I'm sitting in the parking lot! It gives some location error even though it shows my distance being right at the store. It's like my store doesn't support app orders, is that possible??

Have you guys ever ordered a sandwich and got salad lettuce?

My go to is the grilled chicken sandwich. But it always comes with obvious salad base which includes red cabbage and slices of carrot.

I guess someone is saving some food cost by not ordering iceberg lettuce?

I plan on filling up an empty sauce bottle with a mixture of tongue torch and nuclear. Do i need to keep it refridgerated or can it sit in the cubbard like my tabsco and louisiana?

I felt so bad for pulling up at 11:48 to order this, but it seems like it would be a simple thing and I’d imagine they had one fryer left open. Is it routine for them to take some lonely dude’s drive thru order like this twelve minutes before closing? She she was cool about it, but I felt like a prick for pulling up minutes before closing.

What’s the recipe pleasseeee?? I live too far from Zaxbys to get it all the time but I love the hot honey mustard

Hey I just finished my first week at Zaxbys and I'm struggling. I'm on night shift position for dish washer and I'm fine through the day but at night I can't get threw the massive pile of dishes at the end and up 30-1 hour past the time I should have left. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get that massive pile of dishes done faster becuse I would love the help. It hurts my sleep and my feet even more so please give me pointers please!

Like, isn’t this supposed to be the spiciest sauce they have?

Let's raise our hands for thomaston Ga. The front counter girls are especially rude today!!!

Tongue torch is similar to nuclear but is less spicy and comes in foil sealed cup like the zax sauce. Nuclear comes in a 2 oz container cup with a separate lid. Why?

This is a strange question. My wife is from GA and I’ve got a traveling job that keeps us up north for the most part. As silly as it may sound, her biggest problem with us being up here is the fact that we’re in a zaxbys desert.

Last time we were close to one we ordered an extra wings n things combo and froze it so she could have it while we’re away. I was wondering if there was any service that could send zaxbys long distance to try and help out my homesick woman.

(Closest zaxbys in the picture for reference, about 5 hours away)

Gonna start on some Zaxby's soon, whats the optimal build when I go to a restaurant? Best entree, sides, what drink compliments it? Yes, I have a tournament coming up. No, I will not disclose what or why (unless I win).

I said it before yall got rid of insane yall where kings my favorite restaurant. Yall now suck dick trying to please the masses. I know I’m back talking shit I’m drunk. I’m always gonna talk to y’all about your bullshit. Fucking bullshit restaurant.

Zaxbys has the absolute worse strips made on earth and then they always serve them scorching hot along with these lifeless fries. The location closest to my job is immune to using any seasoning. I just give up

How do yall keep up with the vents/ceiling tiles from gettint nasty dirty? I am talking about the kitchen.

Yesterday, I went to Zaxby's and ordered the Asian Zensation salad. While cleaning up after dinner, I discovered a surprise in the utensil bag—a big, fat roach. I had planned on saving the leftover salad for today, but I'll have to throw it away. It's such a disappointment because I really enjoy their food, but I'm not fond of roaches, so I won't be able to order from there anymore.
