You are constantly transferred between different branches and restaurants with different names but the same company and owner. You are continually sent to support branches that are short-staffed or doing well. In the end, I could no longer tell which branch I actually belonged to. If you love all kinds of new environments, new colleagues, and different dishes, you should be happy...

There is no sense of belonging. Every branch treats you as an outsider.

Of course, there are also outsiders who stay to provide support for so long that they eventually stop being transferred.

The schedule can only be treated as a reference.

When applying for unemployment benefits through the employment service station, the government sent him a letter saying that the company had not paid labor insurance premiums, so he could not apply for benefits. It told him to make a declaration himself and pay the money himself...

Can't think of any advantages

In case someone from headquarters happens to check, I'll share my experience working at Otaru.

1. The company withholds wages. Even though payday is supposedly the 15th, payment can still be delayed until the end of the month.

2. There is an obvious staff shortage, yet the company continues opening new stores, making employees take on more work.

3. There are virtually no benefits. Even good performance does not result in bonuses.

4. Operations are chaotic, and the quality of goods from the factory is often inconsistent. It does not feel like a large company.

5. If you want to learn food-and-beverage-related skills, you really should not join this company, because very few people—if any—actually understand coffee or even food-service operations.

6. The company has committed many violations and has made no improvements.

Those who want to exchange more time for more money can go, but the extra hours are not paid as overtime; they are all off the books.

It is simply exchanging time for money.

All of these were opened by the same selfish and greedy owner, Mr. Lin. The company registrations can all be found in the records. He is stingy, greedy, and knowingly violates the law. You can check the Taipei City Government’s comprehensive list of businesses and business owners found to have violated the Labor Standards Act, but an inspection is only likely if the person involved files a complaint.

Almost everyone who remains there is like this: they pressure you to give up break time, pressure you to accept unpaid overtime, pressure you to work more hours, and pressure you to stay past your scheduled leaving time.

I have also seen them pressure the accountant and general affairs staff to support Otaru Coffee on weekdays and holidays—mostly holidays. In any case, they never hire enough people, and they never have enough staff.

Those who want to exchange more time for more money can go, but the extra hours are not paid as overtime; they are all off the books.

At Otaru Handmade Coffee, where I used to work:

The raises and bonuses mentioned during the interview never materialized. The money in the tip box would decrease, but you would not receive any of it.

They simply want to squeeze everything out of you.

As an hourly part-time worker, when it was busy, they wanted you to work extra hours; when it was not busy, they wanted you to leave early.

During the pandemic, they laid off employees from the other stores,

and still required support at the factory.

At first, they may treat you well, but gradually everything revolves around the store manager, followed by her family and friends. Yet she would say that she treated everyone well—so often that she even came to believe it herself.

When forcing you to resign, they would also belittle and berate you in all sorts of ways.
