I am going to be the General Manager of a breakfast/brunch restaurant opening in the heart of downtown Knoxville. I’ll have about 2.5 months of training with this company when we open my store. I have a General Manager experience, but this is my first time in the fast paced breakfast. What advice/tips do you have to help with a smooth-ish opening and not absolutely bomb at the amount of business we will do? Just really want to do well and make sure my bases are covered!

TN is an at will state. I voluntarily left my job April 29th. Due to ignorant and disrespectful new ownership. No notice. I was deactivated within 30 seconds of then receiving my notice due to them being upset as I ran multiple stores of theirs. That means my payroll is deactivated, so they had to cut me a paper check. They chose to mail it. For some reason it was retuned. I am on day 21 of not having my check since leaving. I have asked them to cancel and leave a new check at a location where I can pick it up and they have refused and placed the responsibility of finding my check on me. Not having my check in a timely manner has put me at risk of losing my vehicle. I also have a screenshot of where prior to leaving I had put in for a time adjustment request as I showed up earlier than scheduled for a deep cleaning task. They denied the request. How do I proceed? Thank you for any information!
