The Mango Blogger

One of the perks of being a Mango Mike's Alexandria employee is our family style employee dinner.   Everyday, after the set up is finished and before the restaurant opens, the entire staff stops working and sits down together for a free staff meal.  It works well at keeping our employee morale high as well as combating the front of the house vs. the back of the house mentality.  Since we started the staff meal program two years ago, staff arguments and infighting have dropped dramatically. The idea is that everyone sits down before the shift and eats together,  employees can relax, talk about their lives outside of work and take a break before the hectic shift starts, which in turn makes for a more pleasant working environment.
