6/5/26 Friday Mid w/Raymond

Image
Notes about the shift in general: I drove to PFG by IAH airport to pick up product that the vendor was out of. When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. I walked the store and confirmed inventory for the weekend.  I worked on the game plan for the World Cup. I contacted two of our vendors and went over invoice credits.  I covered Marsal during breaks and reviewed a few operational items with Ronaldo. The p.m. shift started a little slow but then picked up from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. All areas handled volume sales and kept tickets on time. I looked at some whole pies that Mateo cooked and they were very good.   Breaks started at 6:00 p.m. and ended at 8:00 p.m. All team members were able to take breaks.  The countdown to the World Cup is on, starting with Germany vs Curacao on 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 ...

FRIDAY 6/5/2026 BOH AM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   I started the day by receiving the delivery from Houston Avocado; everything looked pretty good. There was a lot of stock, so we began unloading it all. There was one case of "6-in-1" sauce that was in bad shape—the cans were crushed. I reported it to Raymond, and he logged it for a credit. Then I started on the prep list. Today was Irán’s second day working on dough prep; he was a bit faster than the day before—he’s improving little by little. We started restocking the line at 10:00 AM. We began prepping pizzas for the front, and by 11:00, everything was ready. Right around then, we got a surprise order: 14 pizzas for 11:45 AM, plus about eight more and some salads—it was a busy rush. I took my break around 12:30 PM; having Raymond’s help out front made it easier to get through the break rotation. Afterward, we finished up some prep work—we were constantly on the move, so we hadn't had time to complete it earlier. Things calmed down a ...
