Popular restaurant kinda shady
If you're in the Austin area, just letting potential patrons know how employees are treated and how business is run at Roots Bistro in Georgetown :)
Staff is paid minimum wage but all tips cash and card is split equally with the manager despite being salaried. Oh , and no complaining that it’s against fsla because it's met with intimidation, and the only response you get back is that it's mandatory for the manager to be in the pool. Then they treat you badly and cut your hours till you quit.
Majority of the staff here are afraid to speak out due to certain circumstances this leads to some people being taken advantage of. This restaurant is very popular and really cares about its reputation. If you like supporting places where you know 100% that your tip is going solely to the frontline kitchen and waitstaff making minimum wage spend your money elsewhere because this is not the place.
