FRIDAY 8.22.26 BOH AM WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Solid shift. We started off the day with deliveries from BEK, SOFO, Houston Avocado, and Houston Deli. After the usual morning unboxing and organizing, I helped Gerardo knock out garlic knots. Next I helped the team set up for the day and execute the deferred order due to the guest at 11:15pm. Pies were ready right on time, I delivered them. Everything went smoothly, I was on the 36th floor a couple minutes ahead of time, the guest was happy with everything and gave the FOH additional gratuity. We had received a few larger tickets for that first hour that the team put out, no problem. When I returned slices were in full swing and we stayed busy for the afternoon. We also cooked off two bread recipes today. I finished off the shift by making sure Marsal was fully stocked and ordering produce.  Next shift be on the lookout for: 08/24 Monday 4:15 PM - Kyle Baker/UH Athletics - 6 Pizzas LM 08/25 Tuesday 11:30 AM - Meow Wolf / Apryl Reed - 5 Pizzas ...

SATURDAY 8/22/2026 BOH AM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   I started my shift right when the Houston Avocado truck arrived; I received the delivery, checked that everything was in good condition, and put the stock away. Then, I began working on the prep list. We started restocking the line and doing prep work around 10:00 AM. We began making pizzas at 11:00 AM, having everything ready by then. There were no orders at that time—things started off slowly—so I began scheduling breaks for the team. It was an extremely slow day, so I decided to help Dina with her heavy prep workload while the rest of the team handled the incoming tickets. Around 3:00 PM, we started prepping a large batch of pizzas for the front line, and then I double-checked that everything was set for the evening shift. Next shift be on the lookout for: We are up to date with the preparations. 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4/5 2. KMOD stuff: 3. Food stuff: The Sicilian pizza was excellent.

FRIDAY 8/21/2026 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   At the start of the shift, we had a lot of prep work to do and a high volume of pizzas to make, so we organized ourselves to get everything done; we finished the prep and started making the pizzas. The whole team was in motion. When the afternoon rush hit, we started restocking the front line. I helped Gabino at the oven; things were a bit slow at first, but gradually more pizzas started coming out. We also had three "Kids Pizzas" go out—those were the last ones, so I started making more to have them ready. From six o'clock onwards, I started sending people on their breaks. Ramona had told me she needed to leave for a personal matter; things were a bit quiet, so it wasn't a problem. I checked in with the team to make sure they were okay, and they said everything was fine. The whole team took their breaks. Afterward, I checked everything over—it all looked good—and Ramona left around 8:15. Next shift be on the lookout for: We're ...
