Cheba Hut Evaluation

Cheba Hut is a sandwich shop which newly opened here in Corvallis, OR. I've only been there a few times and thought that their sandwiches were much better than your normal Subway or Quiznos. The layout of their shop is unique due to their murals that are painted onto the walls, polite employees, and relaxing environment. As you enter the sandwich shop, you are greeted by their employees and politely asked what you would like to eat. I bought a "White Widow Blunt", which is simply a footlong Chicken Bacon Ranch from Subway or Quiznos. Their menu is named after many different strands of Marijuana which can steer some customers away because it's attracting a certain group of people (http://chebahut.com/new/menu/). At the same time, I go there because of their good customer service and their magnificent sandwiches. I asked one of the gentlemen working if he would rather work there or any other sub sandwich shop. His exact response was, "Nothing against other sub sandwich restaurants but this is by far the most exciting job I have ever worked at!"


The above photos are an example of what I would call a good work environment. 




They do not have many decorations inside of their shop besides their beach mural on the wall. One attraction is their music playing inside of their shop. This welcomes customers in and makes them feel comfortable. Their employees are usually wearing a green Cheba Hut apron and when I visited they were all wearing Cheba Hut hats. The majority of their employees are in the age group from 18-25 years. Cheba Hut also holds a ranch chugging competition at their sandwich shop that a lot of people always attend either for the competition or for the laughter. Here is the contest that my friend competed in and it was held at the Cheba Hut in Corvallis, OR.



The atmosphere is very relaxing and welcoming to anyone. Their employees are nice and are willing to start small talk with any customer. Also, the employees at the Cheba Hut in Corvallis are always so up beat and ready to take the customers order. I encourage all of you to try their sandwiches because I can guarantee that you will be satisfied with their service and the delicious food.

  1. Ahhh gross! Haha. The ranch chugging (ritual) definitely speaks to the type of organization that Cheba Hut is, in that it promotes a fun atmosphere. Are the values listed in the pyramid above ones that are promoted by this organization? Or how would you relate them to your observations of artifacts at Cheba Hut?
