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...

SUNDAY 4/19/2026 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   The day started off quite well; we were constantly on the move, as we had a significant amount of prep work to do. We worked as a team to ensure that all the orders went out on time. Once we finished all the prep, we stocked up the front area with plenty of pizzas. When the evening shift arrived, I organized and arranged items in the vegetable walk-in cooler. I also placed the order for avocados from Houston for tomorrow. Afterward, I worked on the line, helping out and also checking on Noe’s progress; he is doing quite well—all he needs now is a little more speed, though he already knows how to make almost all the pizzas. Things got a bit busier starting around 5:00 PM, but thanks to our teamwork, there were no issues. Around 6:00 PM, I began covering for everyone so they could take their breaks. Once they were finished, I went around checking to make sure nothing was missing for the rest of the evening. Next shift be on the lookout for: Houston...

SUNDAY 4.19.26 BOH AM WILL

Notes about the shift in general: No deferred orders, but the day started decently. Sales were primarily walk up, slices were moving. There was a lot of line prep for the team. After 3pm it died down almost completely and we started filling Marsal for the PM. I placed orders for BEK, SOFO, PFG, and did inventory in my downtime. I was going to run for capicola but we have just enough to make it to tomorrow. Next shift be on the lookout for: Deliveries from BEK, SOFO, PFG, and Houston Avocado. 04/20 Monday 11:00 AM - Chris Sticklen - 5 Pizzas, 3 Fam House, (15 Total Knots) LM **Diligent delivery by 11:30 AM to 6655 Travis St., #600, Houston, TX 77030** 04/21 Tuesday 10:40 AM - Lori Allen - 13 Pizzas, 1 Party Greek, (20 Total Knots) LM **Diligent delivery by 11:15 AM to 1200 Smith St., Floor 11, #1160, Houston, TX 77002** 04/22 Wednesday 11:15 AM - Chloe Rose - 22 Pizzas, 2 Family Greek (8 total Knots) JK CN 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 3.

SATURDAY 4/18/2026 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting off my day—today went quite well. We were constantly on the move; we churned out a huge number of pizzas for takeout, as well as sandwiches. We finished up some pending prep work, and starting at 3:00 PM, we began restocking the display case with plenty of fresh pizzas. Once the afternoon shift really kicked in—around 4:00 PM—things got a bit busier; likewise, at 5:00 PM, I helped Gabino out at the oven. Today, our Sicilian-style pizzas sold like hotcakes! Around 6:00 PM, I started covering everyone's breaks, making sure every team member got their time off. Afterward, I was informed that only three slices of cheesecake remained. I had to cut another one, and we went back to restocking the display case with more pizzas, as they were selling incredibly fast. Finally, before heading out, I double-checked to ensure nothing else was missing. Next shift be on the lookout for: We are up to date with all the preparations. 1.How many pies did we...

SATURDAY 4.18.26 BOH AM WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Solid day that was definitely needed. We started off with a 17-pie deferred. It was just me and Juan so I helped with prep, then setting the line, then the large order. Everything went out on time looking good. We received several other large orders for throughout the day. It was also record store day so slices were popping. Next shift be on the lookout for: Inventory tomorrow. 04/20 Monday 11:00 AM  -  Chris Sticklen  - 5 Pizzas, 3 Fam House, (15 Total Knots)  LM **Diligent delivery by  11:30 AM  to 6655 Travis St., #600, Houston, TX 77030** 04/21 Tuesday 10:40 AM  -  Lori Allen  - 13 Pizzas, 1 Party Greek, (20 Total Knots)  LM **Diligent delivery by  11:15 AM  to 1200 Smith St., Floor 11, #1160, Houston, TX 77002** 04/22 Wednesday 11:15 AM  -  Chloe Rose  - 22 Pizzas, 2 Family Greek (8 total Knots)  JK CN 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 3.

FRIDAY 4.17.26 BOH AM WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Smooth shift. Decent Friday after a slower week. We started off with deliveries from BEK, SOFO, Houston Avocado, Deli, and Alsco. Everything checked out. I helped with knots and stocking Marsal. When Ronaldo arrived we talked over everything going on this week. I ran and got gorgonzola because the bags on hand were very inflated.  Next shift be on the lookout for: Stock levels. If we need anything else this weekend I'm guessing it's pepperoncinis.  Tomorrow is record store day and I know last year we had a lot of run off from that. Here's hoping.  04/18 Saturday 11:00 AM - Pranav Patel - 17 Pizzas LM **Diligent delivery 11:30 AM to E Memorial Loop Dr, Houston, TX 77007** 04/20 Monday 11:00 AM - Chris Sticklen - 5 Pizzas, 3 Fam House, (15 Total Knots) LM **Diligent delivery by 11:30 AM to 6655 Travis St., #600, Houston, TX 77030** 04/21 Tuesday 10:40 AM - Lori Allen - 13 Pizzas, 1 Party Greek, (20 Total Knots) LM **Diligent del...
