Since you wanna delete my review!!! i'll just keep posting it you silly two!!! DO NOT come here or work for these people!!! I was tricked into thinking that jim and Lisa were caring people, they do not care about you, especially if you work for them!! You will not get payed or if you do you will have to wait a month and go through nasty back and forth. Kitchen is disgusting and has roaches, not to mention the CAMPING COOKWARE they use to cook your food, half of food is out of date and just nasty looking. Very nasty manipulative people, who will do things for you and then expect something in return or tell you it's a favor but really it's not. If you know whats good for yourself stay away and bring your business to an actually clean and honest bar. They short people change i can go on and on!! Have dogs that LIVE in the bar in a tiny room!! they will promise you things that will not happen! Very greedy dishonest people very sad because it could have so much potential. Your guys gig is almost up!! still waiting for my money as well:) i beg you please spend your money else where and dont give it to these 2 SCAM ARTISTS read more
