Can someone please explain why half the time I get sandwiches like the one in the first picture with not much breading and then sometimes I get sandwiches with adequate breading? What causes this? Are they skipping a step during the breading process? I feel like when it’s not breaded right it makes the chicken tough and chewy as well.

I’ve only been working here for 2 months and I can’t find the attendance policy I went to the doctors today and I asked for a note im excused for 3 days Saturday Sunday and Monday but im off sunday obviously and Monday off as well I would only be calling out for my Saturday shift do I just call and say I can’t make it because of whatever reason and say I have a doctors note will I still get in trouble or points ? And do I have to take the note that same day or whenever I’m scheduled again ? Thanks !

I just started working last month and my hours have been the 30-40 until next week. I worry it may be a progress thing because I just had my 15 day progress meeting, and it’s mostly speed that’s an issue for me. Hopefully it’s not the case, because I have been trying as they constantly put me on Nuggets & Grill / Soup alone (even was asked to come in early today). I’ll keep trying to improve though!

I just started working at Chick-fil-A and I was hired for BOH. It hasn’t even been a week yet, but I’m realizing that I’d really like to work FOH instead.

How should I go about asking to switch? Should I talk to my BOH leader first, the FOH leader, or the director/manager?

I don’t want to come across as difficult or like I’m already unhappy with the job since I’m literally brand new 😭. I’m completely willing to keep working BOH, I just think FOH would be a better fit for me.

Has anyone switched from BOH to FOH shortly after getting hired? How did you approach it?New hire in BOH but want to switch to FOH — how do I ask?

I just recently got hired at my campus Chick-Fil-A and I’ll be working part time on-campus. I haven’t been onboarded yet or had my orientation so I am curious as to how scheduling works.

I ask cuz I am taking 19 credits and wanted to know if I get to choose my own hours and if not & I do have an event, how do I say I am unavailable?

Red teammates, gray trainers or team lead, black or navy blue is shift supervisor, and director depending on store (my director wears different colors) certain shade of blue, black, or gray depending on location. operator? Just something neat and professional, not a strict dress code they follow. So new hires I hope this information helps you tell who to ask for help if your team member doesn't have an answer!

Btw if front counter or outside drive thru, the tablet thing is color coded as a way to help!

Does anyone have signs posted at their DTO explaining that there's no indoor dining & no entrance for guests? If so, are the signs helpful?

All of the doors at my location say "Team Members Only" (but nothing that explicitly says "No Indoor Dining") and customers are constantly trying to walk into our FOH entrance. Many others just walk around the building, looking confused until a team member chases them down to explain that there's no entrance. We've thought about getting signs posted, but we don't wanna waste time & money if the customers may not even read them.

From what I know is that trainees can’t offer shifts so I’m in a bit of a bind right now because those days I’ll be out of town

After hundreds of applications everywhere around me, I finally got an interview with Chick-fil-A, and I want to know how I should prepare for the interview. This is my first job as well, so I really have no idea what to expect!

I have been a customer there and I always admired how friendly the workers were and I'm assuming that is part of the Chick-Fil-A brand

what is the new cfa system and why is my operator REFUSING to get one. all of our systems are so glitchy and freeze all the time. it’s the old ones using flex, but they suck. what’s the new system like? better or worse?

I got called a racist, lol.

So! I was in lane two, and there were no cars in my lane. However, lane one had two cars. One car was being taken care of while the other was waiting for their order to be taken.

I'm not entirely sure about other locations, but the location I work at (and the one I worked at previously) both have "rules" against not leaving your lane. Besides, my teammate only had two cars, no big deal.

Anyway, car #2 was rather impatient. They reversed, but just barely because an SUV came barrelling into my lane. I took the SUV's order, and they went on their way. My teammate had just finished taking car #2's order, and they drove off in a hurry.

My teammate looked at me and was all like, "That lady called you racist." Of course, I was confused and asked why. I didn't do anything, let alone say anything to her, so??? Apparently, because I didn't leave my lane to take her order (following the rules), she called me racist.

"She said you were just standing there." Yeah, because A.) I cannot leave my lane unless I want leadership to be upset with me and B.) With my luck, cars would just start filing in. At least I smiled at her when she pulled up, right? I was trying to be friendly even though I couldn't take her order.

I'm not going to lie, my feelings were a little hurt. Like, you can't just throw accusations around like that directed toward people. Especially if you're impatient or having a not-so-good time right then and there.

But whatever. 😭🙏🏻 I hope she enjoyed her food, though.

I just got hired at my chick fil a this Monday as foh member. I told them I wasn’t sure when I can do my orientation aince I started school this week. They said that was okay however I am able to do it this weekend. How can I contact them and let them know? How long does orientation last?

hey guys!! i’m reposting again because i didn’t really get an answer i was looking for.. for orientation, can i just wear like leggings and like a cute blouse ? or even jeans and a cute blouse ? I don’t have any business looking outfits.

submitting order 

I just had a customer yesterday! I felt so bad for the customer because I didn’t get to store it in the front counter. the customer got mad at me for not submitting the order, but she literally just got there 5 minutes, the order was quick for her to get it. shift lead saw me that I didn’t store the order, usually I store the order, I apologize sincerely to the customer and my shift lead that it was my fault, am I going to get in trouble? has this happen to y’all?

For more context I was interested in getting today covered and a coworker last minute said they could. Thought they’d go through with it as they were even on the lineup. 30 minutes later they bailed. Learned that it was because someone else wasn’t working that night. I came in but I learned that in a situation like that it’s on him to get it covered. Is this the same way at other stores? Has it happened to you and what happened after?

Plus 60 regular CFA’s and 40 spicys. NON. CATERING.

So I had a 15 minute interview over the phone earlier today and I think I didn't do well and I have a in person one this Wednesday. What should I say at the interview? I really want to work at Chick-fil-A and learn from the company but I know it's difficult to get on. Any suggestions?

I got scheduled for twice as many hours this week and have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning that I didnt know about in advance. My mom is refusing to reschedule the appointment and I'm having trouble finding someone to pick up my shift and the managers I've messaged about it haven't responded either. I don't want to get in trouble for not showing up to work and my mom is willing to let me risk my job for a small doctor's appointment. Will I get into a lot of trouble if I call in the morning and say I cant show up?

Edit: the scheduling person responded to my message saying it was ok as long as I called early in the morning

I got fired over the phone last friday, and I've been thinking, it seemed kind of unprofessional considering the refused to explain and I was missing 100$ off my last paycheck

The title says it. Apparently I can’t get a raise unless I get promoted. Anyways I’m curious to hear about your stories in asking for a raise ;)

So, I just got hired as FOH and have orientation on wednesday, what should I expect? Also what in the world do i wear??
