4/23/26 Thursday Mid w/Raymond

  Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. I walked the store and checked supplies before placing the BEK, Sofo and Houston Deli truck orders for tomorrow. The shift was slow, but we had a few nice pops. Breaks started at 6:00 p.m. and ended at 8:00 p.m. All BOH team members were able to take breaks. I contacted the TriMark Rep regarding items that we need to order. I checked on 4X5 tomato pricing and I had hoped to see some reduction. There is no relief in sight for now. I will continue to source them from HEB. I met with Will and we caught up on our sicilian process. I am pleased to say that Matoe our newest team member completed orientation and he starts his first shift tomorrow. Matoe is a returning team member with experience in all positions. This should allow us to control overtime. Next shift be on the lookout for:  Please check produce carefully 1. How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4/5 2. KMOD stuff: *...

TUESDAY 4/21/2026 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   The day got off to a pretty good start; we were constantly on the move and maintained a great pace. We spent some time on prep work, and then, around 2:00 PM, we started restocking the front line with plenty of pizzas. Once Lety left—around 3:00 PM—it was just Pedro and me left on the line. It actually worked out quite well, as very few tickets were coming in at that point. When the evening shift arrived around 4:00 PM, I took the opportunity to place the Houston Avocado order for tomorrow; I also did a bit more restocking on the line to ensure the morning crew wouldn't feel overwhelmed by the heavy workload expected tomorrow. I took my break, and when I returned to the floor, I helped out on the line by covering pizzas. Before leaving, Will mentioned that Noe wouldn't be coming in, but since the line was fully staffed today, it wasn't an issue. The afternoon went smoothly, with tickets coming in steadily. Around 6:00 PM, I started coordi...

MONDAY 4/20/2026 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   The start of the day was very slow; we focused on deep cleaning, and around 3:00 PM, Will and I were working the line until the afternoon shift arrived, at which point we started prepping pizzas for the front counter. I waited until Juan Carlos arrived, around 5:00 PM. Jony was working the topping station on the line. He still has a lot to learn; he is quite slow. We kept pushing him to top the pizzas faster, but he still lacks significant speed. Once Juan C. arrived, I pulled out all the carts where we store the dough, cleaned everything, and also removed all the sauce containers. I asked Juan to help me move the shelving unit outside; I gave it a thorough cleaning, and it ended up spotless. We then put it back in its place. Around 6:00 PM, I started scheduling breaks. By that time, tickets were coming in steadily and things were bustling; once the rush slowed down a bit, I gave the "go-ahead" for the whole team to take their breaks, and t...

MONDAY 4.20.26 BOH AM WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Today was extremely slow. We started off with deliveries from BEK, SOFO, PFG, and Houston Avocado. We had one small deferred order due at 11AM. Diligent was 30 minutes late picking up. Cynthia was on top of it and the order was just down the street, but still lame. There will little pops but nothing substantial on any station so we focused on cleaning. Leo detailed the dry-storage reach in, Ronaldo cleaned reach in filters, and I detailed the first section of the produce cooler, which I'll resume tomorrow. In my downtime I placed the order for Houston Deli, picked up some 4x5 tomatoes from HEB where they are rising in price but still substantially lower than from either HA or DiMare, and mapped out next week's schedule. Leo and Juan were out at 3PM and Ronaldo and I ran the line. Next shift be on the lookout for: Order coming in from Houston Deli. I'll place the order for BEK. 04/21 Tuesday 10:40 AM - Lori Allen - 13 Pizzas, 1 Party Greek...
