4/2/26 Thursday Mid w/Raymond

Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. I walked the store, checked supplies and placed the PFG and BEK truck orders. I reviewed the pending Art Car Show event. Cynthia and I met with the vendor replacing the tow sign. They realized that the signs would have to be moved slightly further back to prevent trucks from hitting them. The First Thursday was not the same. They had Art Cars on the street. It did not appear that they were overly concerned about prevent their cars from blocking our driveway. I met some very nice guests during my figure 8s. A husband and wife said that they were taking their son a large pizza. He is about to enter boot camp and he wants his last civilian meal to be pizza. She said she does not mind sending her son off with a stomach full of Home Slice Pizza. The shift started slow, but then started to build around 7:00 p.m. Breaks started at 6:30 p.m. and ended at 7:45 p.m. All cooks were able to take breaks. N...

Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. Republic did not pick up the recycling yesterday so I called and asked them to be sure and pick up today. I walked the store, checked supplies and placed the PFG truck order. The K-Mod's schedule was completed and published. I met two gentlemen from New Mexico, one of whom is currently in town for cancer treatment. During our conversation, they expressed how glad they were that I came over to talk to them and shared the story of how they found Home Slice Pizza. They told me that when they first landed in Houston, they were looking for great pizza. Their first attempt at a place in the medical center was disappointing. They aid  "This does not look like a real pizza." Seeking a better option, they asked a nearby meter attendant where to find the best pizza shop in town. The attendant told them, "We all go to Home Slice Pizza." One of the guests told me that the meter attendant...

Notes about the shift in general:   The start of the day was a bit slow; we spent some time doing prep work before the afternoon shift arrived. I took the opportunity to place an order for Houston avocados for tomorrow, and then I worked the line, covering pizzas and restocking the front-of-house area. Today we cooked the cheesecakes, and they turned out quite delicious. I began covering everyone's breaks around 6:00 PM, ensuring that the entire team got their time off. I checked to make sure nothing was missing for the evening shift, updated the expiration dates on some products that were still in good condition, and tidied up the vegetable walk-in cooler, as a new delivery is expected tomorrow.

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting the shift, things were a bit slow today; by around 3:00 PM, it was just Will and me left on the line. I also took the opportunity to place an order with DiMare for some products that were running low, since the prices for Houston avocados were currently too high. When the evening crew arrived, we spent some time restocking the Pizza station for the front counter. I did some stretching until Juan Carlos arrived at around 5:30 PM. Meredith was busy preparing Tiramisu as well as Cheesecake for tomorrow; by 5:00 PM, things were going quite smoothly. Tickets started coming in around 6:00 PM, at which point we began taking our breaks. It quieted down a bit at that hour, so I sent people on break in pairs of two so they could finish earlier; they wrapped up around 7:30 PM. From there, I noticed we only had four Cheesecakes left, so I sliced ​​three of them to ensure we wouldn't run short later in the evening. I also told Evelin and Juan Carlos ...

Notes about the shift in general:   The start of the day went quite well; I spent some time organizing the produce room. I didn't place an order with Houston Avocado for tomorrow, as I saw that we were well-stocked on product. When the afternoon shift arrived, I spent a while working at the oven station; since Gabino’s mother passed away today, I pitched in to help lighten his workload. I also asked the night shift manager if he needed to take the day off, but he said he was fine and able to work. Around 5:00 PM, things got quite busy at every station; starting at 6:00 PM, I began coordinating breaks so that the entire team could get their downtime. Afterward, I went around checking to ensure that everything was in order for the night ahead. Next shift be on the lookout for: We are up to date with all the preparations. 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet? 4/5 2. KMOD stuff: 3. Food stuff: The Sicilian slices look incredible, as do the regular pizza slices; the dressings and...
