SUNDAY 8/31/2025 BOH AM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting my day when I entered the restaurant, everything looked pretty good, so I started with the preparation list, then I did the dough count and when Juan arrived he was doing preparation and filling on the line, meanwhile I was opening the salad station since no one was there until 12 and Evan also arrived around 10 at that time. We started with all the pizzas, when it opened if some tickets were issued, it was busy for a while when Lety arrived around 12 I started with the breaks and we managed to finish around two and also at that time it was too slow since it started to rain meanwhile we were finishing with some preparation and also filling in front, when the afternoon people came in I took advantage of the time I placed the Houston avocado order also today they made double sicilian to plan one tomorrow and the other will leave for tonight and Raymundo was helping Jose with the bread knots and the dough, since it was five recipes for toda...

SATURDAY 8/30/2025 BOH PM RONALDO

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting my shift, we made a lot of pizza for the front, taking advantage of the fact that it was a little slow and we have a lot of people in the morning. Then Savannah told me if I could come in a little later, like until 5:30, since she was working up front in the morning. I said yes. In the meantime, I was in charge of the salad from four until she arrived. It stayed a little busy, but we had a lot of staff and there were no problems. In the meantime, when it got really busy, I helped Savannah. Around six, I started with the breaks. They managed to finish around seven:40. From there, I was checking that nothing was missing tonight and that's how I finished my shift for today. Next shift be on the lookout for: We are up to date with all the preparation, the only thing that could perhaps be missing is Walnut, everything else, we are pretty good 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4/5 2. KMOD stuff: 3. Food stuff: The Sicilian one...

SATURDAY 8.30.25 BOH AM WILL

Notes about the shift in general: Steady day. No singular rushes, but a lot of walk ups ordering slices, sandwiches and whole pies. Italian and turkey subs are definitely enjoying a bump in popularity. In order to free up Raymundo to help Jose on dough tomorrow we went heavy on prep today. Same for salad/sandwich prep. I went over the dough plan first with Raymond then with Ronaldo, and told Jose and Raymundo the plan for tomorrow. We received produce from DiMare, the driver forgot the invoice, but I caught him before he drove off. I made another guide for produce ordering for this week for Ronaldo. Next shift be on the lookout for: Walnut and turkey levels.  1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 across the board 2. KMOD stuff: Note if we need an extra person Sunday or Monday night, Juan Pu is no longer working his other job and works both mornings. 3. Food stuff: Great looking food today, dressings have been holding up nicely, Sicilians proofed well.   4. ...

8/28/29 Thursday Mid w/Raymond

Notes about the shift in general:  When I arrived the recycle dumpster was closed and locked. When I entered I started the truck orders. I also contacted the vendors to confirm their holiday hours. Considering the closed day next week I tried to move as many order items to this week without running high food costs. I reached out to the BEK Rep and she informed me that the pricing on the Mozzarella block cheese from Temple was a special pricing arranged just for the stores in Austin. Our Rep was kind enough to match the price although we were not included in that temporary pricing structure. I went over the final dough plan for next week with Will and a few changes were made. Ramona was not feeling well so she was cut early. Bailey and I filled in at Marsal. The shift started slow for Thursday. We had a few nice pops around 6:30 p.m. Breaks started at 6:30 p.m. and ended at 8:00 p.m. All team members were able to take breaks Cynthia and I will go to the court hearing tomorrow to ...

We have a large sandwich order for tomorrow morning which has 12 x 12" turkey subs on it, we were running low on turkey so I picked up that as well. I let prep and salad/sandwich know about the order. I finished next week's schedule and ordered produce. I talked next weeks' dough prep with Raymond. Today was generally a slower Thursday, but all of the business came at 12:30pm when there was a major slice rush. Raymond and the team helped out and there were no issues. Next shift be on the lookout for: Produce from Houston Avocado 1.How many pies did we run on the timesheet?  4 2. KMOD stuff: Dressings, especially the Caesar, are still having issues breaking.

Notes about the shift in general:   Starting my day, I was pretty slow, so we focused on cleaning when the afternoon crew arrived.
