Be Warned - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Kitopi

Be very careful with Kitopi, all is not what it seems. Kitopi loves to paint an image to the world that everything is great and everyone is so happy to work there, this couldn't be further from the truth. When entering in to the UK the company made a push to open 50 kitchens and hire a large amount of staff. Mo the CEO himself came to London to announce the expansion. Within a week of his arrival all of the offer letters that had been sent out were cancelled and growth in London was put on hold. People who had already accepted jobs with Kitopi were told they no longer had an offer. Eventually Kitopi shut down all operations in the UK and has no intention of returning. When Kitopi entered in to the United States they made an announcement that they would be opening 100 kitchens within a year and would be making New York its global headquarters. They ended up with less than five kitchens total in the US and then shut down all operations and fired everyone, just as with London. The company has now turned it's back on the west. Why? Because it isn't profitable. Why? Because the way that Kitopi can get away with treating its kitchen employees in the Middle East doesn't work in the west. Employees in the offices are treated great, and this is the image that Kitopi loves to show to the world. But they are a food company, and they treat their kitchen workers very poorly. So poorly that kitchen staff in Saudi Arabia went on strike during Kitopi's launch there. Nepotism is rampant at the company. All brands are meant to be external of the company, don't make any mention of the CEO's wife owning one of them though. If you are not Lebanese or do not have a close connection to the management you will not go far. They hire and fire people on a moment's notice, according to the whims of managers that the CEO exerts zero control over. He is too wrapped up in getting investment money and granting interviews to recognize what his staff are doing or to care.
