Midtown BOH

Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. I stopped to pick up tomatoes due to the sharp increase in pricing. I walked the store and checked supplies before placing the BEK truck order for tomorrow. I called Republic again regarding their not picking up recycling. I was informed that one of their drivers called off and that impacted a number of routes. They will pick up tomorrow. I called our Houston Avocado Rep and we discussed price corrections on tomatoes and when we could expect to see them. At this time they anticipate that pricing should get back to market norms in 1-2 weeks. In the meanwhile, I will continue to purchase 4X5 tomatoes from HEB at significant cost savings. The shift started slow and then picked up at 6:00 p.m. Both the Roto and Marsal lines did well during the pop. Breaks started at 6:30 p.m. and ended at 8:00 p.m. All BOH team members were able to take breaks. Next shift be on the lookout for:  Please check pr...

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting the day, everything seemed to be in good order right from the moment I walked in. We began with the prep list; today, Dina was baking cheesecakes, and I also provided two bread recipes for tomorrow. Juan came in to cover for Pedro today, working from 8:00 to 10:00, at which point Pedro arrived. Later, Pedro will return the favor by covering a shift for Juan. We started making all the pizzas at 10:00, and by around 11:00, we had everything ready. I also began scheduling breaks, ensuring that every member of the team got their time off. It turned out to be a quiet day. Starting at 2:00, we began restocking the front display with plenty of pizzas. Lety left at 3:00, and seeing how quiet things were, I sent Pedro home around 3:30. That left me alone on the line. It worked out quite well, as no new tickets were coming in. When the evening crew arrived around 4:00, I organized the walk-in cooler for vegetables and also placed the order for avo...

We began bringing it all in, organizing the boxes, and dating everything; it all arrived in good condition. I started working through the prep list. We spent some time restocking the line, and around 10:00, we started on all the pizzas; by 11:00, we had everything ready. I took my break around 11:30. The whole team took their breaks as well. It was a pretty good day overall—there was certainly plenty of activity—and we managed to finish up some pending prep tasks we had for today. Meredith was preparing desserts and cheesecakes to be baked tomorrow, starting at 3:00. Juan and Leo were about to leave, but I asked Leo to stay for another half-hour since the next shift wasn't coming in until 4:00. Things slowed down a bit after that; once the afternoon crew arrived, I helped out a little more with restocking the front line and worked the oven statio...

Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. I stopped to pick up Izze drinks. I had to go to a number of locations to find them in stock. The Izze case thought to be unaccounted for was found in the cooler. I walked the store and checked supplies. I entered the truck orders for PFG, Sofo, and BEK. I work on scrub to get this started on it for tomorrow. we are working to get a new cook online and train as quickly as possible the additional overtime is excessive.

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting the day as I walked into the restaurant, everything looked pretty good. I began by working through the prep list. Juan was busy restocking the line, while I handled some of the prep work since Belinda wasn't scheduled to come in until 10:00—I grated mozzarella and provolone, sliced ​​the cheesecake, and took care of a few other tasks. Once she arrived, I moved over to the line to help cook all the pizzas and ensure everything was ready by around 11:00. We had an order for six Sicilian pizzas due at 12:00, plus four other pizzas. I started sending people on their breaks around 12:30, and eventually, the whole team got to take theirs. Sales were brisk today; the Sicilian pizzas were selling like hotcakes. We wrapped up some final prep work around 3:00, then went back to restocking the front display with plenty of fresh pizzas. I spoke with Raymond—since we were short-staffed today with only one person at each station, making things more ch...
