If anyone works at Subway Restaurant or knows anything about it can you help me?

I'm applying for a job at Subway and I'm wondering about the shifts. How long are the shifts they offer for part time employees?

Also on the application where it lists off the days of the week what do I put there? Are those the days I will definitely work or just days I can work? And lastly If I'm available to work for 15 hours per week and I'm working for 4 days a week how long would/could my shifts be?If anyone works at Subway Restaurant or knows anything about it can you help me?
Seen it all; can't remember most of it.If anyone works at Subway Restaurant or knows anything about it can you help me?
Haha, I work at a Subway.



At the Subway where I work, you either work the "morning" lunch rush or you work at night. Or both (that's a double shift).



Morning lunch rush shifts -

10am to 3pm or 4pm.

11am to 3pm or 4pm.



Night "closing" shifts -

4pm or 5pm to close.



If you work both of these shifts, you would be working a double shift.



Regarding the days you work, most Subways are open 7 days a week with about the same hours each day. I know employees who only work lunch, some who only work night, weekends, etc. However, since there are rarely more than 2 or 3 people working at a time (unless its a really really busy subway), the list of employees isn't very long.



Putting days you're available does not necessarily mean you will work every one of them. You will get a schedule every week showing when you are working that week. You might get 1 of your available days, you might get all of them. It depends on when they need you.



4 days a week 15 hours a week means that you might get 3 or 4 shifts. You might not get that many, and some of them may be in a double shift.If anyone works at Subway Restaurant or knows anything about it can you help me?
First thing that you need to know is that almost all of the subways are franchises and owned and operated by franchisees. What this means for you is that anything is a possible depending on the need of the Subway store owner.



Getting 3 hours shifts is possible if you want to get those hours during peak business hours for example Lunch time. Don't be disappointed if one Subway store owner says that 3 hours shifts are not possible. You can try applying at another Subway.If anyone works at Subway Restaurant or knows anything about it can you help me?

Scheduling differs drastically depending on the store, time of the year, promotions, etc. It's done on a store to store basis, usually by the manager or owner.



As a manager, I must say that you are coming off as being extremely picky about your schedule, and if you put that on an application, I probably wouldn't hire you. I've got a folder full of apps that are willing to work whenever, for however long, for as little/many hours as possible.



Some advice:



When you first start out, put down any hours you 'can' work instead of when you 'want' to work.



If you're hired, it's okay to express your preferences to the scheduler, but there should be a good amount of flexibility for the time being.



Take what they give you. They will keep your ideal schedule in mind, but if they need you and you are able to work, you probably will.



Prove that you are a valuable enough employee that deserves an accommodating schedule that will keep you happy and working there.



Once you've earned your place and have gotten to know the shifts, speak to whoever is in charge of scheduling once again and see if you can work something out.
