5/23/26 Saturday Mid w/Raymond

Image
Notes about the shift in general: When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked.   I walked the store and confirmed inventory and then entered the Sofo, PFG and  BEK orders.  I ordered dough bin tops. I looked at the micro wave in the prep area. The table is not turning. I will take it apart tomorrow and work on it. The shift was a little slow with nice pops. I interviewed the applicant for FOH Shift Lead and I was impressed with his guest-centric knowledge. The combination of rain and the upcoming holiday had an impact on sales. B reaks started at 6:00 p.m. and ended at 7:30 p.m. All team members were able to take breaks.  The countdown to the World Cup is on, starting with Germany vs Curacao 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 sales. I spoke to Cynthia and plan to contact a few hotels a few weeks before the big even...

SATURDAY 5/23/2026 BOH AM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   As I started my day, the trash bins were all closed up when I entered the restaurant. Everything was clean and organized. I began working through the prep list. From there, we restocked the line, and then we started our main prep work around 10:00 AM. We began making all the pizzas for the front counter; by about 11:00 AM, we had everything ready—we didn't have any orders scheduled until 11:30—so we started taking our breaks. We sold quite a few Sicilian pizzas today. The whole team took their breaks, and we spent the remaining time finishing up some prep tasks. Things slowed down a bit after that, likely due to the rain. Around 3:00 PM, we started restocking with plenty of pizzas for the front counter again; once the evening shift crew arrived, I tidied up a few things and double-checked to ensure everything was in good order for the night ahead. And that is how my shift came to an end. Next shift be on the lookout for: We are up to date with al...

Notes about the shift in general: When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. Republic picked up the recycling . I walked the store and confirmed inventory and then entered the Houston Deli, PFG and  BEK orders. I picked up milk and anchovies from the store. After I covered for breaks, I worked on changing the large cannoli from the box to wrapped containers. I spent some time going over the disclosure of duties for the prospective Shift Lead's meeting tomorrow.  B reaks started at 6:00 p.m. and ended at 7:30 p.m. All team members were able to take breaks.

FRIDAY 5/22/2026 BOH AM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting the day, upon entering the restaurant, everything was quite organized—and clean. I began the shift by distributing the prep lists to each station. We spent time stocking all the incoming merchandise. There was only one broken case of Diet Coke, and four other items were in poor condition; everything else was in good shape. We proceeded to restock the line, and I assisted Gerardo with the bread knots. While Juan Pedro was handling the prep work, we received an order ticket for 10:20 AM, consisting of pizzas, a salad, cookies, and rice. We hustled to get the pizzas ready and sent them up to the front counter; the order went out on time, the delivery driver arrived promptly, and everything was dispatched without a hitch. With that done, we resumed the prep work we had pending. By around 11:00 AM, we had everything ready and also began taking our breaks. The entire team took their scheduled breaks. We wrapped up the remaining prep tasks, and...

Notes about the shift in general: When I arrived, the dumpster was closed and locked. Republic has not picked up the recycling yet. I will contact them again.  I walked the store and checked supplies. The truck order for PFG was entered. Int.  I completed the k-mod's schedule for next week and published it.  I am still working on outstanding credits on the credit tracker. It was a steady shift with small pops. All stations performed well and kept up with ticket times. Breaks started at 6:00 p.m. and ended at 8:00 p.m. All team members were able to take breaks.
