Hiring
Hiring
Panda Cafe is always looking for new staff! If you enjoy roleplaying in cafe games as someone who hands out food, you should be a part of Panda Cafe’s staff team!
Joining The Staff Team
In order to become a Trainee at Panda Cafe, you must apply at the Application Center. You will be asked a few questions. With your answers, we will see if you are eligible to become a Trainee or not. If your application isn’t reviewed in the next 24-48 hours, please notify a HR+ (High Rank and above). You may as well attend an Interview.
Becoming a Staff Assistant
Becoming a Staff Assistant is a big step forward in our community. It is the Highest rank of the Low Ranks. In order to achieve this rank, you must attend Trainings as a Waiter. Being a Staff Assistant gives you the opportunity to develop your leadership skills as well as your patience, however this also means you have more responsibilities. Panda Cafe trusts all Staff Assistants in moderating the cafe.

Ranking up is one of the greatest pleasures of players. For some, it is easier than others. However, ranking up is possible for everyone!
Trainee - Waiter
In order to become a Trainee, you must fill in an application. Once your application is accepted, you may start working at the cafe! You may as well attend Interviews. All Trainees would like to rank up! In order to do so, you must attend Trainings. Once you pass, you will become a Cashier. You may show your dedication to rank up to Junior Waiter and Waiter until you attend other trainings to become a Staff Assistant.
Helper
Helper is the first Middle Rank at Panda Cafe. If Panda Cafe’s SHR department determines that you deserve the rank, due to your activity, your hard work, your great leadership and your contribution, you will be chosen to be a part of the upper staff team, the Middle Ranks. These promotions happen once a month, usually at the beginning. You may as well attend Helper Interviews, which happen once or twice a month. Your third option is to apply at Helper Applications, which are out once a month. Once you become a Helper, you may rank up by being active, working hard, etc. These promotions happen once in a while, at least once per month.

For all Low Ranks (except Staff Assistants), some upper ranks may host shifts at some times. These shifts happen once per day, and if you work hard, you will be rewarded with a rank up!

Rules
We love it when everyone is having fun in the cafe. However, it is our duty to step in sometimes and restrict users from behaving in a certain way to maintain the positive environment and to keep everyone safe in our games. By making rules, everyone will know what’s wrong and what’s right. Please familiarize yourself with the rules.
Panda Cafe Rules and Guidelines
We enforce ROBLOX’s Rules and Guidelines. Anyone who does not follow the rules of ROBLOX will be severely punished. Panda Cafe will not affiliate with these members and there will be action taken against their account. You may view ROBLOX’s rules here: Roblox Community Rules
Exploiting is strictly prohibited. If anyone is caught using a third-party script executor to potentially ruin the game or using it with malice intention will be permanently banned.
Acting rude, being innapropriate, spamming, etc to get someone’s attention, to cause trouble and ruin user’s experience is not allowed. We are against that as it is not our mission nor our goal. We do not welcome this behavior at the game.
Remember to use common sense. Don’t say things that could be offensive, nor be disrespectful. Avoid drama and arguments as well.
Moderation
Here at Panda Cafe, we give one or two warnings before kicking a disruptive player. Before giving out official warnings, please let them know that what they are doing is not accepted at Panda Cafe, as they may not have read this document.
We give one warning to any spammer or bypasser. Exploiters do not receive any warning, though. Trollers receive 2 warnings.
Panda Cafe takes the time to punish anyone who doesn’t abide by the rules. The Staff Team took decisions on the rules depending on what’s necessary and what isn’t. If anyone thinks rules should be modified, they should contact the Co-Owners and the Owner.
If you believe your punishment was false, let us know and we may correct it.
Environment
At Panda Cafe, we want everyone to feel accepted, which is why we push our culture. We want everyone to feel important and included.
Leniency
Although we want our staff to be capable of doing their job and everyone to follow the rules, we encourage everyone to give players their space and let them voice their opinion, without repercussions. Staff should be open to any concerns and no one should ever try to use intimidating tactics.
Communication
We want to avoid conflicts as much as possible. Panda Cafe recommends all users to speak clearly and in basic language that can be understood universally by users of all ages. Our primary language is English, which means any user speaking another language than English should not expect an answer, unless the other user knows how to speak fluently in that language. Using large synonyms that could be confusing is not recommended. Staff members should type clear sentences and not any quick vague reactions such as “I-”, “-” or “.”.
Concerns
We encourage all our current and former members to tell us about any problems they’ve encountered. Your voice matters, and so does your opinion! You can talk to us about anything, really, that has troubled your experience at Panda Cafe. We allow you to message our leadership team at any time with your concerns. However, going to the group areas with negative remarks is not accepted. We want to maintain a positive environment around the cafe, which means direct or implied negativity is not allowed.
Allies
Groups listed under the Ally Tab are Roblox Groups and Communities Panda Cafe has partnered with and who mutually help out each other. We let our communities grow together and interact together.
