Notes about the shift in general: When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. Republic picked up the recycling . I walked the store and confirmed inventory and then entered the Houston Deli, PFG and  BEK orders. I picked up milk and anchovies from the store. After I covered for breaks, I worked on changing the large cannoli from the box to wrapped containers. I spent some time going over the disclosure of duties for the prospective Shift Lead's meeting tomorrow.  B reaks started at 6:00 p.m. and ended at 7:30 p.m. All team members were able to take breaks. The countdown to the World Cup is on, starting with Germany vs Curacao June 14th. We are aware that the World Cup will bring significant activity to the Houston market. I am reviewing staffing and dough prep to ensure we are ready for the increased sales. I spoke to Cynthia and plan to contact a few hotels a few weeks before the big event to let them know that Franks Pizza is not the only pie game in town. Next shift...

FRIDAY 5/22/2026 BOH AM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting the day, upon entering the restaurant, everything was quite organized—and clean. I began the shift by distributing the prep lists to each station. We spent time stocking all the incoming merchandise. There was only one broken case of Diet Coke, and four other items were in poor condition; everything else was in good shape. We proceeded to restock the line, and I assisted Gerardo with the bread knots. While Juan Pedro was handling the prep work, we received an order ticket for 10:20 AM, consisting of pizzas, a salad, cookies, and rice. We hustled to get the pizzas ready and sent them up to the front counter; the order went out on time, the delivery driver arrived promptly, and everything was dispatched without a hitch. With that done, we resumed the prep work we had pending. By around 11:00 AM, we had everything ready and also began taking our breaks. The entire team took their scheduled breaks. We wrapped up the remaining prep tasks, and...

Notes about the shift in general: We started off the day with deliveries from BEK, Houston Avocado, and DiMare. We had a small 6-pie / 1 party salad deferred order that went out on time and was delivered by Cynthia. The shift was slice and sandwich heavy with not much else. The team had ample line prep to do.
