The majority of employees are teenagers in high school that either don't have work ethic, or don't have time to produce, so the managers are often stuck with a heavy work load. Whatever the team doesn't finish is one the manager, including closing down every part of the restaurant. They schedule the least amount of employees possible, sometime too little."
