Notes about the shift in general: I picked up milk and anchovies at Specs but they were out of the Moscato. When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. I walked the store and confirmed inventory and placed the BEK and PFG truck orders.  I had a talk with the team regarding providing complementary slices and drinks to police officers and explained that we want to encourage their presence.  I informed Cynthia that I was told there were large reservation cancelations at the hotels for the World Cup. I made adjustments in our plans for the World Cup to anticipate slower sales. The shift started slow but then picked up at 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Slice sales were steady during the pop. We had a 4-5 minute delay on Sub/Salad that was corrected quickly. All other stations were on point and on time. Belinda left Sub/Salad early not feeling well, but that did not cause much of a problem. Breaks started at 6:30 p.m. and ended at 8:00 p.m. All team members were able to take break...

Saturday 6/13/2026 BOH AM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   At the start of the shift, when I arrived at the restaurant, everything looked good; the Houston Avocado truck had already been there, and I checked everything—it was all in order. I started with the prep list. Then, Juan and I restocked the line and began prep work; we started making pizzas around 10:00 AM, and by 11:00 AM, everything was ready. I began scheduling breaks, and the whole team took theirs. We sold a lot of pizza slices and sandwiches and stayed constantly busy. Whenever things slowed down a bit, we used the time to finish up prep work. Around 3:00 PM, we started stocking up on pizzas for the front counter. When the afternoon crew arrived, I noticed we were running low on pizza sauce, so I made another batch. We also did some extra restocking because there was an order for 15 pizzas scheduled for 6:25 PM. I checked everything over, and it all looked good. That’s how the shift ended. Next shift be on the lookout for: The "6-in-1...

FRIDAY 6/12/2026 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   At the start of the shift, things were going well with a good workflow; we were moving a lot of sandwiches, pizzas, and pizza slices—especially the Sicilian style. Around one o'clock, Ramona sent a message saying she couldn't come in to work because her car had been stolen and she had to deal with that. Around three o'clock, we restocked the front display with plenty of pizzas. Once the afternoon crew arrived, I took the opportunity to place the avocado order with Houston for the next day. After that, I worked out front for a while, then sent Danilo out there while I stayed on the line, helping to stretch dough and cover pizzas. Around five o'clock, we got slammed with orders, and we started taking breaks around six. Things were going smoothly then, too; the whole team was working together efficiently, and everyone got their break. Finally, I checked to make sure everything was set for the night. That’s how the shift ended. Next shift...

Notes about the shift in general:   Ronaldo did great job setting up team for the pm. Was solid on cuts and just great job! We had a good pop in the am for slices and salad/sub station got a run on subs! No issues with getting them out in time as I hung out in marsal and ronaldo helped out Leti during the pops she got. Really good job from boh this morning. This pm started a bit slow. Not too much in slice world to start the pm shift off. Ramona was able to get pies baked off up front and by 5:55pm I started breaks. Ramona took hers first and then she worked sub/salad for Evelyn while she took break. Ramona really on top of whats going on and keeping eyes on whats going on. Pretty slow through the 7'oclock hour. Usually by this time there is a bit more happening but havent seen any influx of heavy traffic down travis this afternoon and evening either.  Next shift be on the lookout for:  We do need to make sure the fly fans are out in marsal though as I am starting to see ...

Notes about the shift in general: We started off today with a delivery from PFG, everything checked out. We had one 14-pie deferred order due at 11:30 that went out without issue. We're definitely starting to see more out of towners, but today was still a little slower. The lunch rush ran from 1-3pm instead of the usual 11-2pm. The prep team cooked off two bread recipes, so I helped them by cooking cookies. The schedule is in place for next week. I ordered produce from Houston Avocado for tomorrow.  Next shift be on the lookout for: BEK, SOFO, PFG, Houston Avocado and Houston Deli 06/12 Friday 4:15 PM - Elissa Guerra - 7 Pizzas LM **Diligent delivery by 4:45 PM to 4401 Martin Luther King Blvd., Houston, TX 77004** 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 3.
