What are the key things managers are looking for to become a crew lead? + more questions
Hey everyone! I’ve been working at Culver’s for about 3 months now and I really enjoy it. I feel like I stand out in a good way, I’m fast when running, I focus a lot on customer service, and I try to help wherever I can. I’ll jump in to support other positions, cover people for breaks, restock constantly, clean, and usually take care of things without being asked. And yes I know these are literally the bare minimum but I can say I do go above and beyond when doing these things compared to other workers.
I’ve talked to my GM about becoming a crew lead, and she went over the expectations with me. A couple managers (and even a crew lead) have said they could see me in that role and that I should go for it, which was really encouraging.
I’m just wondering like after expressing interest, how long does it usually take to actually become a crew lead? I know at my store it can take 6 months to a year, so I’m not expecting it anytime soon, just trying to get a realistic idea.
Also, I want to learn more positions, but I don’t want to come off as annoying since I ask pretty often. Right now I know run, set, register, drive thru (both positions), some dine, temps, and I’ve opened custard once. Is that a normal amount for ~3 months, or should I be pushing to learn more?
For context, I’m 14, so I’m also wondering if my age might be a factor.
Any advice would be appreciated!
