Training?

Hi y’all!! I got hired BOH, but am mildly confused. On my schedule, I am just BOH General, no “training” or anything. What should I expect on my first day? Thank you in advance!

What do I generally use CFAHome for?

So I got out of orientation a few days ago, and they told us to sign up for CFAhome, and two other apps I’ve worked out. What will CFAhome generally be used for?

One of my friends who’s a shift lead said he’d do open to close with me on my last day as well

Dining room vent

I’m so tired of dining room! I was up there for like 2 weeks straight and right before I was about to say something I was put on something else so I didn’t. Now fast forward a month later. They keep putting me on it again saying I’m good at🙄 It’s been 3 weeks of dining room and guest who leave their food and trays on the table. I’m speaking to a manager next time I go in and if it’s not changed I quit

Anyone know where to find my W-2 form?

This might be a stupid question, but this is my first year that I have to pay taxes and I don’t know where I’m supposed to get it.

New Auto Release Technology?

Does anybody know what the technology could be? My store got an email a couple days ago saying our store will be in a test market for a new "auto release technology"., apparently they've tested it at 15 stores already but idk what it could be there's already auto release. The email is super vague as well. Just curious if anybody know what the email is talking about or maybe is part of one of the 15 stores that's had the "new tech" for a couple months.

I'm too out of shape

Hey guys,

I scrubbed, rinsed, squeegeed and mopped most of BOH floors by myself last night. I'm a 34 yr old woman who has had 3 kids, all c-sections, and I'm not as strong as I used to be. My arms back and shoulders are so sore today. Yall know what kind of exercises I should do at the gym to strengthen my body so I can do this job better? I'm being a little facetious here but real answers would be nice.

Sincerely, a very tired Chick-fil-A Mom

AHA drop increments

So I'm on table & am a little confused about the "too little, on target, too much" meter on the iPad for breading. If someone could explain it like I'm 5, I'd really appreciate it.

no employee meals

i currently work at CFA and we’ve had our employee meals taken away from us for about two months until the foreseeable future (quite literally our only benefit). everyone appears to be quitting or in the works of quitting because of this issue & the fact our management is poor, & just that we do too much for such little pay. i’ve been working there since late october and im wondering if it’s time for a change and if you guys think i should follow the herd😣.

I feel so discouraged. I almost feel like quitting

I’ve been working at my CFA for 6 months. They keep me on the same positions, which are cash register, iPad, and dining room. They’ve only put me on window, desserts, drinks 1-3 times each. I know I’m not super fast. But the more I do something, the better and faster I get. But I feel like at my CFA they expect me to be fast the first time I do it, and if I’m not, they never put me on it again. They haven’t properly trained me on cash/card, in the drive-thru. They’ve only had me watch people do it a couple times, and this was months ago. Yesterday they had me try it, by myself, knowing that I’ve never done it before and haven’t been properly trained. Within 10 minutes, I was causing a back-up and they swapped me out and put me on dining room. I begged to just be given the chance, and they refused. I just don’t understand how I’m supposed to grow if they won’t give me the opportunity to grow.

I had my quarterly review last week, and we talked about it. There are people who’ve been there for a shorter time than I have, and they’ve been out of training, and they’re now training to be learning coaches. And I’m just stuck where I am. I need a job with flexible hours, and CFA is able to give that to me. And that’s the only reason why I feel the need to stay. But I really feel like I’m not a good match for CFA. I guess eventually I’ll be out of training and able to do all of these positions. But I feel so inferior to everyone else who’s coming in after me and flying past me.

Foh vs Boh pay

This is probably a stupid question but i'm a FOH team trainer and have never worked in BOH even when I was a trainee I was always up front and I was curious if you get paid more being back there. It seems like a more difficult and tedious job than working in FOH but then again i've never got to experience it so I could be wrong.

BOH?

So, I'm currently foh, and have been since June of 2024, but lately I've been thinking about switching to Boh. I've talked to a few of my Boh friends, and they just say that its stressful, but it's not the stress of foh that i hate, it's the customers. like I legit can't stand em, even though the nice ones are great, I just can't stand the mean ones cuz they tick me off so much. Should I make the switch?

Nasty Strip our secondary worker caught after coming out of the fryers

Nobody knows what happened and it was the only one like this, but we had to stop and check all strips, including frozen and thawed ones to make sure nothing else was like this

Pre closing breading tables

I have this method on pre closing tables which usually takes me around 25-30 minutes to finish the three we have. Is there anybody that knows some tips and tricks that can help me improve my time on finishing.

How many employees does your CFA have

We have a super busy CFA and honestly the most volume I have ever seen. In terms of number of employees at our CFA right now we are at 131 and and the most I have seen at last year was 145. What is the average number?

Weighing Milkshakes?

Hey everyone!

Are any of your stores requiring you to weigh milkshakes? I didn't know if it was just the manager on duty, but we're all being forced to weigh milkshakes now. Is this a nationwide policy?

Operator Questions

So I’ve only been at Chick-fil-A for 4 months but I’ve only ever seen my operator maybe a half dozen times in that span, and I work FT during the day.

How often do you see your operator and what exactly do they do day to day? Not hating, genuinely curious.
