Notes about the shift in general: 

It was a good close with one missed opportunity. There was a bag of tortillas left in the warmer. All stations were cleaned and  closed properly.  Meredith came in to cook cheesecake but I had to go to Restaurant Depot to purchase creamcheese. Dina came in to work with Meredith to cross train in cooking  desserts. I noticed that we could have planned a better training experience for Dina by having a translator to ensure she fully understood the nuances of how to properly bake the cheesecakes. The time was not wasted. She was able to see the process and it will all connect when she can fully communicate with the trainer. We are making the needed adjustments to allow for a better learning process.

Today was full of cross training that will prove to be a benefit. We are very fortunate to have team members that do not see themselves operating in compartments or silos. They are eager to expand their skill set at every opportunity.  The most valuable commodity of our team is not their skill set, it is their mindset. I watched this reality in practice today. Their mindset will improve their skill set and we will have a powerhouse workforce, ready to train others. 


Sales were moderate allowing us to cross train. All temperatures, both hot and cold, were correct. I noticed during station checks that the iceberg lettuce was browning and not acceptable. I found that the lettuce was cut fresh today. I purchased more lettuce and discarded what we had.  The unusable pepperoni was returned and we received the credit. Autochlor representative came and we walked through the PAR levels for our chemicals. It is still important that we do a chemical check at the beginning of every shift to ensure that all required chemicals are in use and replaced as required. 



Taking a close look at the sales by hour,  you can see the following:

  1. The shift started slow and did not increase very much

 

Next shift be on the lookout for: 

Iceberg Lettuce

1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet? 

4

2. KMOD stuff:

Shift Scrub:

A job code needs to be created for Bailey when he is performing general maintenance.



3. Food stuff:

  • When I arrived the sicilians were looking very good 

  • Salad dressing tasted and approved.

 Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived the rain has not started the downpour, but  minutes after I arrived the deluge started. CG and I spoke about server weather readiness. The alarm did not go off and none of the  GFIs were tripped. It was a good close with all areas clean and organized. All food items were moved to the walk-in coolers.  The produce order was placed for tomorrow. The BEK truck was a little late. Lana and I went over the schedule for nest week and she did very well at identifying areas of opportunity to make bone close cuts. The K-Mods will have to bonce around from Dish/Dough, roto and  marsal on some days. We communicated with the staff about the reduced  hours It was. Wendy completed a quick reference list of closing duties for the BOH. This list was prepared for the FOH in the event a k-Mod leave ill before the end of their shift. The BOH will crosstrain on FOH very basic duties in the event a FOH manager has to leave ...

  Notes about the shift in general: we had a good set up today and the team seemed ready to work. Raymond and i sat down with an applicant to talk, but ultimately decided against him as he is related to other staff members and we don't feel it would be a smart move. we reviewed other applicant and he did seem to like Vilma so ill get with him about if we could get her started pending her availability. i spent some time filling in on the line and around 7 we started running breaks. we finished running them by 7:30. we had 1 lost ticket pie that we had to fly. it started off really slow and then we got a couple of rushes around 7 and 8 o clock. slices got hit around 8 as well. thing started to slow down around 9. we had a solid team tonight. Next shift be on the lookout for: nothing immediate. 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 every 5 and 5 every 0 2. KMOD stuff: we talked with Gabinos brother mostly as courtesy. we will not be moving forward with his app. i w...

Notes about the shift in general:  walking in, the close was good. id like us to pay attention a bit more to the janitorial room. Its becoming a consistent missed area in terms or organization. the bathroom also, i had to pick up a bit.   we had a really good start with a lot of people on with dessert and training. i was cautious of this with labor. The guys got started fast as we had that order due at 10:45. Evelyn had to learn how to do the large salads so there was learning opportunity walking in. The large order this morning was just 8 family salads and 9 pizzas. it went out smooth and everything looked great. we had a slow lul for most of the shift and then we got a good push on slices and whole pies that helped a lot     Next shift be on the lookout for: Were set up pretty well. 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 every 5 2. KMOD stuff: I organized upstairs. i update the prep sheet pars on a few items and got it printed and laminated for t...
