What It's Really Like Being A Chef At Benihana

[@MashedFood]

Have you ever been to Benihana? What were your thoughts?

[@63ah1275]

The food was inedible. All of my hibachi meals were business trip related. The food always sucked.

[@michaelharned8741]

I liked Benihana

Wait! These poor bastards only make $18/hr??? And I'm sitting at a desk filling out spreadsheets for 33.50/hr... what is wrong with this world...

@@oSTARCHILD Even that seems unfair for a job that has you standing and working with heat, knives, and food that people will eat without inspection.

@Albert Menendez must have been a busy store. The one I was at is the only one in our state (and like 500 miles or something). No chef was consistently making $300 in 6 hours. Not even with side tips. We had 17 tables, 8 or 9 chefs, usually 5 to 6 tables per night (weekends would be more with being open later). Usually around $20 per table for tips (depending on size).... normally we'd get 40-50 entrees.

Hey, happy belated birthday on the 9th. Mine was today the 10th. Loved your gifts.

It's a teppanyaki joint! Not a hibachi joint! Hibachi is a charcoal grill! A teppan is a steel plate teppanyaki is "cooking on a steel plate". Get it right people!

Additionally, YOU typically cook your food at a hibatchi restaurant.

Worst company I've ever worked for.

[@dylanoudomsivilay652]

Why is that?

[@goodhumourwagon]

Context helps.

[@douglasbunch3313]

Who TF would be enticed by a measly $250 signing bonus?

[@Guanajuato_gus]

Seriously, are they still around. The 70’s want their restaurant back 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mortemicrorreactor8851]

[@manny7886]

Go to BH for fun, not the food.

[@brianmoody2549]

The place’s have’s style food tastes great fresh ingredients flavor and the chef got do a great job.

[@JM-ft5ip]

"Ripe" with opportunities?

[@brandonsandacz2863]

😁

[@realChewky]

They require year one of experience? That is so oppressive! I demand they get shut down permanently!! So outraged! 😡😡😡😡😡

[@oSTARCHILD]

They don't even follow that. People with zero experience get shoved into training all the time. We had a guy that applied to be a server and they made him a chef lol
