7/31/26 Friday Mid w/Raymond

  Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. I walked the store and confirmed inventory . All invoices were scanned to Xtra Chef.  I met a number of guests that compliment the ambiance. Two of our guests said, "You all are doing a great job, the atmosphere feels like home." Another guest who went to college in Austin said he has been going to HSP since college, over 15 years, and we are representing the true tradition of Home Slice Pizza very well. No greater compliment!  The shift was very busy with a nice mix of fans. The momentum started to build around 6:30 p.m. It was a pleasure to talk with guests who said this was their first time and that they will be back.  It was a pleasure to talk with guests who said this was their first time and they will be back.   Breaks started at 6:00 p.m. and ended at 8:00 p.m.  All team members took their breaks.  Next shift be on the lookout for:  1.

Friday 7/31/2026 BOH AM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   When I started my shift, everything was in good shape. I began with the prep list and helped bring up all the incoming stock; everything was in perfect condition. The truck from Houston had also arrived, so I received and organized the delivery. I helped Gerardo with the bread knots and then assisted on the line. We started prep work, began making pizzas around 10:00 AM, and were fully ready to go by 11:00 AM. The day went really well; a huge number of pizza slices were going out. I also started handling breaks, covering for everyone while we kept up with the heavy prep load; Raymond worked the front counter so we could finish all the prep work. Around 3:00 PM, we started restocking pizzas. Things slowed down a bit around 4:00 PM, so I began putting together the Houston order for the next day. At 4:30 PM, there was another rush of pizza orders. The next shift arrived at 5:00 PM, and seeing that everything was under control, I wrapped up my shift....

TUESDAY 7/28/2026 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   At the start of the shift, things were going pretty well. I was getting tickets out, but the workload began to drop off after two o'clock, so we decided to let Lety and Pedro leave at three. Will and I stayed on until the afternoon crew arrived. I used the time to prep the "Houston" and avocado for tomorrow; I also organized the vegetable walk-in cooler and updated some product dates—everything looked good. Around five o'clock, Noe called to say he’d be running a little late, which wasn't a problem since things were slow. I took my break around six; right then, business picked up significantly, and we even had a ticket for 12 pizzas come in at 5:50. Everything went smoothly. The whole team managed to take their breaks. I double-checked that everything was in order, and that’s how the shift ended.
