FRIDAY 11/6/2026 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   At the start of the shift, we had quite a few tickets, and the whole team was in constant motion. Things calmed down a bit around one o'clock, so we used that time to finish up some pending prep work. From three o'clock onwards, we began restocking, including preparing a large number of pizzas, just as the afternoon crew arrived. I worked on the "Houston Avocado" order for tomorrow. In the pizza station, things really picked up around five o'clock; tickets kept coming in, and the salad station was also seeing a very high volume of orders. By six o'clock, the entire team was in full swing. I started coordinating breaks, and then I noticed that the salad station was down to its last container of lettuce, so I prepped two more for the evening rush, as the high demand for salads was depleting our supplies. Everyone took their breaks, and I checked to make sure everything was in good order. Ramon left at eight o'clock, explai...

Friday 11.6.26 BOH AM Will

Notes about the shift in general: Good Friday. We started with deliveries from BEK, HA, and HFF. Everything checked out. Alsco came by and talked to Ronaldo and said that our delivery would be delayed until Sunday. I finished up the sandwich cheat sheet for Blake. I quizzed him at the end of his shift on three more items. He is doing well in general but will definitely need another week of AM shifts to pick up speed. Our dolly was hanging on by a thread, I went to Home Depot, got new bolts, and Pedro fixed it up. Raymond wanted to be sure the schedule was good through the next few weeks given holiday requests. I filled out the schedule and we're good to go. The shift was very front loaded with at least 4 ten pie orders in the first hour. After that it was mainly steady. Next shift be on the lookout for: HA 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 2. KMOD stuff: No desserts next week. 3.

Notes about the shift in general: Solid shift. We started off with a delivery from PFG. Two bags of flour were torn, one so badly that it spilled everywhere when picked up. I spent my morning overseeing Blake's training and working on daily checklists, consolidating builds, and a shift lead opening checklist. It was a steady day--never too crazy, but moving. We got Leti out at 2pm and Leo oversaw Blake's training through 4pm. I ordered Sesame Seeds and produce.

Wednesday 11.4.26 BOH AM Will

Notes about the shift in general: I was expecting crickets following a busy weekend and free slice day, but I'm happy to report it was a solid shift. We started off with deliveries from BEK and Houston Avocado. We had one deferred order to start the shift. Blake started training on salad/sandwich today. Leo is a excellent trainer and Blake is a good trainee so it was a smooth shift. I printed a salad builds sheet for Blake. I spent the morning consolidating training materials. I will put together a sandwich guide tomorrow. I also translated the prep lists into Spanish and worked on SL opening guide for Pedro. After that I helped out on the line. All stations were firing through the lunch rush. Salad/sandwich kept moving all morning. There were multiple large pizza tickets for the line for the first hour. Slices were steady. New shelves look great. Next shift be on the lookout for: PFG 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 3. Food stuff: Great looking and tasting pies toda...

11/03/26 Tuesday Mid w/Raymond

Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked.  I walked the perimeter and everything was in order, with the exceptions of the two sinkholes on the Winbern sidewalk entrance. Mike will be here tomorrow to show us how to fix the leaking faucets. The planters are a little more work than originally expected. The planter sits on the inside of the walkway. When the drip line starts, it takes hours for the excess water to drain. Someone will have to go out and squeegee the water down the walkway every 30 minutes.   I walked the store and confirmed inventory . I entered the BEK truck order.  I am working on the Food Labor spreadsheet. I printed the procedure for the Large Order, laminated it and placed it by the phone in the Shift Lead's office.  The shift was very busy with the vote 4 slices. The team did very well and moved with the utmost efficiency. We had quite a few first-time guests for the free slices.  Breaks starte...
