SATURDAY 8/15/2026 BOH AM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   When I started my shift, everything was in pretty good shape. I began by distributing the prep list to each station, and we started restocking the line. We hurried to get the prep done because we had an order for 10 pizzas due at 11:15. We started by making the pizzas for the front counter first, then made the pizzas for that specific order; it went out on time, and we had everything ready by 11:00. I started scheduling breaks at 11:30, and the whole team got theirs. We were quite busy today—we barely had time to finish the prep work—so around 3:00, we started restocking whatever we could. It was a busy day; once the afternoon crew arrived, we restocked a bit more, and then I made cannoli cream and cut Rice Krispie treats, since Dina had a heavy prep load today and ran out of time to finish them.

FRIDAY 8/14/2026 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting my shift today, things went really well; the whole team stayed busy and worked effectively. We were moving a lot of pizzas—selling a huge number of slices—especially around three o'clock. We made sure to stock up the front display with plenty of pizzas before the afternoon crew arrived. I used that time to get a head start on prep for tomorrow, since it’ll just be Juan and me on the line; I prepared the ricotta, sliced ​​meatballs, and cut up mozzarella cheese to help Dina out, as she has a lot of prep work for tomorrow as well. The team dynamic was great; everyone worked together well, and all the orders went out on time. From six o'clock onwards, I started handling the breaks and covering for everyone. I also asked Belinda to make a batch of Rice Krispie treats and had her prep more Kalamata olives. That’s how my shift wrapped up. Next shift be on the lookout for: We are up to date with all the preparations. 1.How many pies did we ...
