FRIDAY 1.31.25 BOH MID WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Steady day. No big rushes, but ebbs and flows all day long. Prepped up for the weekend. Sandwich continues to be heavy, just had 8 walk up 12" while covering Evelin's break, and that was after another substantial order. All breaks were done by 8:30pm. Next shift be on the lookout for: Crushed red, expected today, should be here tomorrow.  1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4/5 2. KMOD stuff: Wendy is very slow on prep, has to be micromanaged, constantly distracted. 3. Food stuff: Sicilians had a good rise, house pies were great, dressings and sauce approved 4.

THURSDAY 1.30.25 BOH AM WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Decent day, busier than the rest of the week, all stations had pop. We started with a 21-pie, 4 party salad, 81 garlic knot order at 11am that went out without issue. I had one extra Leo today so he helped with the large order this morning and then was on cleaning detail. He cleaned all of the shelves in both coolers, mop the floors, and help me take off and clean the air vent covers. Pedro was able to start getting ahead on prep for the weekend. 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 across the board 3. Food stuff: Awesome sicilians. Evan's house pies were a little less than perfect but he's getting better and I keep giving him feedback, Pedro's were perfect as ever. Dressings and sauce approved. 4. Sales for the shift:  $3600 5.

FRIDAY 1/31/2025 BOH AM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general: Starting my day when I entered Rose was already there and also the merchandise was already all there. I started first on the preparation list. I put a lot since Wendy also works today and then Rose told me that they left the door open today. The one who left the merchandise that arrived in the morning did not close it. From there I was bringing up all the merchandise. Juan and Leo also helped me. When they finished, Juan was filling up. When Pedro arrived, they were also doing a lot of preparation and I went to arrange the merchandise that arrived this morning. On the sheet that I received, two boxes of mushrooms arrived that were whole. I had to go back because they weren't cut and everything else. We are pretty good, finishing arranging there. Then I went up here and arranged the things from there. We started making the pizzas. When Will came in at 11 we had a ticket for six pizzas for 11:05 and other tickets. We had a very good start both in fro...

1/30/25 Thursday Mid w/Raymond

Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived the recycle dumpster was closed and there were no boxes visible to the public. I picked up anchovies and mailed the receipt to invoices. Cynthia picked up organic whole milk. Truck orders were entered for BEK SA, PFG and Southern Style Spices. I spent some time working with our BEK Houston Rep on pricing. A final review of the dough plan for the HSP party and the Super Bowl was completed. I will review the dough plan with the K-Mods and Cynthia. Schedules for the K-mods and BOH were approved and published. Leo completed detailed cleaning in the dough cooler. The shift was steady but not very busy. All BOH team members were able to take breaks. The Monday following the 2024 Super Bowl was slow at $5,055, but not much slower than our current Mondays. Our current Monday staffing should be adequate. Next shift be on the lookout for: Any items missing from the BEK or PFG truck orders. 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  ...

1/29/25 Wednesday Mid w/Raymond

Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived , the recycled dumpster lid was closed and there were no visible boxes to the public. It was a good close. All areas were clean and organized and the team did well on organizing the dough cooler. I completed the prep lists and passed them amount to the specified areas. The ship was steady with good sails on sub/salad. BOH team members were able to take breaks. There was a 17, 6" sub order for 11:15 a.m. Somehow the order was not entered in Toast. That did not pose a problem for Leti. The order went out on time. Next shift be on the lookout for: Any items missing from the PFG truck order.  1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4/5 2. KMOD stuff: 3. Food stuff: Sicilians had a good rise and baked off nicely. Dressing were tasted and approved.  Let's be sure to  4. Sales for the shift: $2,664 5.

TUESDAY 1/28/2025 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting my shift I was in front selling pizza slices and also in the salad bar but it was pretty slow so there was no problem covering the areas while Will was taking the order also assembling the Kids pizzas since we didn't have anything there when the afternoon ones arrived then I went to check what was missing then I was checking the flavor of the dressings and if it tasted very good Yayi I was in front with the rest and at break time I asked Bailey to be in front so I could cover each one and when we finished around nine onwards I was in front until closing it was a little slow but at the same time pizzas and slices were coming out also sandwiches so I closed my shift for today Next shift be on the lookout for: Well, in terms of preparation, we are pretty good, we have everything, the only thing we have left is two capicola and the other meats we have enough 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4/5 2. KMOD stuff: 3. Food stuff:...

TUESDAY 1.28.25 BOH AM WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Slices and salad/sandwich continue to be the heavy daytime hitters, but pizza station got a little more action today. Used my downtime today to draft next week's schedule, print house pie temp logs, dough count sheets, and waste logs, finish a larger text version of the salad station cheat sheet, replaced the missing Supreme placard, put together 10 pizza kits, and ordered produce for tomorrow. We have a freezer full of bread for the first time in a couple weeks so we can definitely afford to be more discerning. I've been having daytime expo check garlic knots after 2 hours to make sure we aren't sending out any stale ones. Gerardo had an idea of how to reorganize the dough cooler and we knocked that out, Raymond and Ronaldo both gave their approval. 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 across the board 2. KMOD stuff: SOFO delivered basil. BOH staff is understandably a bit on edge over ICE sightings around Houston, so I was glad ...

MONDAY 1/27/2025 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting my shift I had a little chat with Will about the morning shift and he told me that they did preparation since today there was no one in the preparation and that all the workers did a very good job, there were only a few things missing but since Carlos works today he should do them and we also asked Danilo to stay a little longer so that if we have time to finish with the preparation from there I started cutting cheese finishing that I started making the sicilian since she was making tiramisu finishing I started with the breaks since it was a little slow and everyone managed to take a break and there little by little the Pizza came out both in front and in the salad too and I am very grateful to the team that I have that we all did repairs we helped each other a great team that I appreciate a lot so that was my shift for today Next shift be on the lookout for: The only thing we're going to be missing tomorrow is sandwich meat and also coo...

MONDAY 1.27.25 BOH AM WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Slow, but not dead Monday with lots of prep to do but Raymond and Juan Carlos definitely set us up for success. Checked and put away BEK, PFG, SOFO, and Houston Avocado orders.  Everyone helped everyone to get as much done as possible. Juan prepped rice krispies, Danilo shredded mozzarella, etc. I had Gerardo do bread today (bake and prepare for tomorrow) so we should have a stock in the freezer again and not have to struggle to catch up on days when there is only one person for dough prep. Meredith helped him finish pizza dough since the bread set him back. The day started with 5 x 12"s as has been the trend so I think the bread surplus is warranted. I started on Italian Assorted because we are down to the last bit of ham and no more dry salami, but approximately 45 portions of assorted remain so we should be good until the delivery arrives tomorrow.  Next shift be on the lookout for: Meats. Basil is low but we should be good for tomorrow. Aa...

1/26/25 Sunday Mid w/Raymond

Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived the recycle dumpster was closed and there were no visible boxes to the public. All truck orders were entered. I sent text communication to Alsco regarding the missing invoice. The driver did not leave the invoice on Friday. He informed me that the invoice would be mailed to our attention by Sunday, but the invoice was never received. After they applied at eight percent increase for their services, you would think that they would be more responsive and just perform their most basic responsibility. The shift was busy and we had some pops throughout the night. Break started around 6:30 p.m. and continue until 9 p.m. Sub salad was hit very hard and that caused Leti to fall a little behind. There was a little confusion on a sub that caused the sub to be given to the wrong person. Alec requested a remake on the fly and it did not take Leti long to refire the subs Next shift be on the lookout for: Any items missing from the truck order....

SUNDAY 1.26.25 BOH AM WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Lots of prep, decent all day, super busy from 4pm onward. Next shift be on the lookout for: Prep items. We prepped up, but it was also a busy day.  1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 across the board 2. KMOD stuff: More red plates por favor 3. Food stuff: Good 4. Sales for the shift:  $7145 5. Labor for the shift: 21% Notes for FOH: Good

SATURDAY 1.25.25 MID WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Nice to walk into a full restaurant and a busier than average morning. Lots of slices and sandwiches. We had an 12 x 12" turkey sub order just before noon that wiped us out of turkey, but Dina was quick to replenish. Lunch rush kept moving until about 2:30pm, finished breaks, prep, and started setting up stations for the pm. All p.m. breaks were done by 8pm today. As Ronaldo mentioned he threw out 2 cases of mushrooms, we had a couple months there where they were consistently good, keep an eye out. We still have plenty to get through tomorrow. 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4/5 2. KMOD stuff: Talked to Cynthia and Ronaldo about getting more of the guys on the pizza line properly cross trained on salad/sandwich. Tomorrow I'm going make another version of the salad cheat sheet in Spanish with a bigger font, easier for them to read, and this week we will focus on getting everyone more comfortable on that station.  3. Food stuff: Si...
