If you've ever been to a restaurant or a store, you've probably heard employees say that they would appreciate a review on a review site.
It makes sense that better reviews will lead to more customers and more money for the business.
A New Jersey chain of restaurants is under fire for forcing employees to earn a minimum number of five-star reviews in order to keep their jobs, after photos of the policy were typed out and posted on social media.
Triple T is under fire after an absurd policy posted at Tio's location in New Jersey was leaked.
Every service employee for FOH is required to get at least 5 reviews per month to stay employed at the Edison location. The typed out notice said that the review must include your first name and five stars. You need at least 15 reviews to be eligible for the prizes. 1st place winner gets first pick out of five potential prizes and 2nd place winner gets to choose from the left-over prizes.
Two free meals, an extra day off, gift cards and merchandise were included in the prizes.
The photo has received over 1,600 comments.
They can use that to threaten and fire at will because nobody will get those reviews.
The owner or area boss most likely threatened the General Manager's job over the place's lackluster reviews, so they responded in typical restaurant manager fashion: sticking an aggressive memo to a wall. They were fed up with the situation in 2019. The swine flu was the last straw.
Tommy's Tavern + Tap has six locations in New Jersey, including Freehold, Sea Bright, Bridgewater, and Morris Plains, as well as two in New Jersey.
Triple T's Chief Marketing Officer told My Central Jersey that the notice in the Edison location was posted by a general manager and that the policy had not been approved by corporate.
Bonfiglio told the outlet that they did not institute this policy.
Bonfiglio's father, Tommy Bonfiglio, is the owner of Triple T Hospitality Group and it is estimated that 1,100 employees work for the group.
Thousands of horrible and negative reviews were plastered across the landing pages for different locations of the restaurant chains, but have since been scrubbed.
Triple T owner Tommy Bonfiglio told NJ Advance Media that they are still trying to hire people. I would have to fire the entire crew.
The general and assistant manager were fired after admitting that they posted the policy.
