John's Drive In

Describe a group you are a member of (online community, church, job, etc.) and how it is organized. Is there management? How is information distributed within the group?


For the past 7 years now I have worked at John's Drive In back home in Montauk, NY its a small but extremely popular restaurant whose main focus is made to order food such as burgers, chicken wraps, fried goodies as well as it famous homemade ice cream.  My boss and wife are the owners of John's and they are obviously on top of the pecking order.  Thankfully since I've been there 7 years I've made my way up the ladder to be the manager.  However aside from the owners and the manager (myself) there aren't any other so called positions.  Though the level of importance and "power" within the restaurant is set up through experience, the workers that have been there longer have more say then those who have just started.  In all honesty we're somewhat of a family each respecting one another and helping each other in anyway possible.  Though i may have authority of others, I only use that authority when necessary.  As new individuals come into work for use the older more experienced workers help pass down information and knowledge to the new workers.  Aside from that any other information that needs to be told to everyone just circulates from one person to another or otherwise is posted for every individual to see.
