Learning new things everyday
My standard daily duties is to manage stock levels, keep customer service at its best, manage my staff, entering invoice, placing orders, dealing with complaints, on the job training of all my staff and maintaining a clean working environment. I have daily issues i.e blenders broken, or supplier delivers incorrect items or even damaged or expired items, it is my responsibility to ensure that we receive correct stock and credit notes where applicable. My team at Kauai consists of 2 cashiers, 2 kitchen staff and 1 supervisor and we get along very well, My staff knows I have an open door policy Being the manager of the store has been difficult at some times where staff just leaves without notice but I have learnt that I need to toughen up and just find better staff an look after the staff I have. The one thing I enjoy the most is the fact that I built close relationships with my regular customers and taking care of all my customer's needs is why I am in this industry.
Pros: I am gaining experience and learning new things everyday
Cons: Long Hours on Weekends

Best learning experience
Fast paced environment, challenging, great atmosphere, low salaries. The work load doesn't balance out the salary, if the company paid better money, it would be a great place to stay or to be at.
Pros: life changing knowledge about your health
Cons: small salary and little to no rewards

Healthy and natural for natural people
to work a healthy company its very challenging and also teaching on how to maintain you and the quality of beverages and food you serve to our customers. Its was busy especially on breakfast and lunch time purely because most customers coming from gym or going to gym. What enjoyed the most was serving what i exactly know and the effect or the goodness of the product to each and every customer,the kind enthusiasm that you carry around customer and making sure the customers are hay at all times.Team work that made us to be the best at service level. customer complains,the suppliers error as such wrong product and sending wrong dated items that was a challenge because every is thing was a process.
Pros: being promoted to a manager
Cons: long working hours
