I worked for Shyndigz/Fancy Biscuit and it was a total shit show the whole time. Total mess with managment like most restaraunts in Richmond.

Is there a well run restaurant out there?

After 10+ yrs I can say...not really. Most managment either seems to fall into the "I'm a manager but I have no power to fix things" or "I have all the power, never around". Lots of great people and some great managers. But most places overwork, underpaying, and try to expand before fixing issues or investing in issues that will arise.

Most places seem to focus way too heavily on expansion or adding onto the menu/labor without any consideration for the effects. People get burnt out and find somewhere better. Which the article alludes to imo. Bet they cant hire or keep anyone long enough.

Edit- also if any restaurant talks about "family" or some sense of weird loyalty, RUN. It means they're gonna tack on more work without raises and expect you to be all "we're a team!" about it while grinding you into dust until you quit or your spirit breaks enough to stick around for years. Don't.

Any truth to the rumor of ownership/management pocketing cc tips?

There has been tell on this sub of various owners pocketing cc tips, most infamously at circuit and slingshot, but shyndigz was also mentioned.

Interesting... I'm part of the class action suit against the owners of circuit and slingshot from my time working there, but i haven't had any updates on it a while

Origin brewing was doing that (for a while at least). They said it was to build up a Covid relief fund for staff, but my friends who worked there and got Covid never saw any relief.

Stomach hurting. Sugar overload

Then only eat a bit, you’re not supposed to eat the whole thing. I’d also say they are more butter focused than sugar

I believe it. I have coworkers that genuinely dropped the "can tell a womans been sleepin around cause she feels loose" bullshit a couple weeks ago. There are some dumb nasty motherfuckers in the industry. And women get the absolute shit end of the stick everytime. I'm male but it still drives me insane. Absolute troglodytes runnin around this city.

I had a coworker who had previously worked at Shyndigz and heard similar stories about sexual harassment. Really sorry you had to deal with that, it happens far too often in local restaurants

Every time I've tried shyndigs the cake has been dry and tasted old. Not sure why they're so successful honestly
