New Host

There is a new host at the restaurant, and it's a guy!

We now have 2 guy hosts which is interesting. He is in his early 20's and was in the marines. Why he wanted to work at the restaurant, I have no idea.

There is also another new host I have not met yet, and new server. All these new people, I don't know how well I'll get along with them but it is all new because a lot of people that worked there when I started left.

No Heat

The restaurant now has no heat. It broke and is beyond freezing inside there. All the servers and hosts were allowed to wear black hoodies, thank goodness!

Customers have been complaining A LOT! Nobody wants to sit near the door and more towards the back. We have a total of 5 space heaters throughout the restaurant. That's where people want to sit. It is one big mess! Management thinks that it is finally fixed, but who knows. It has been so out of whack lately so it might break again.

Fire!

This week we had a major fire in the kitchen.

The fryer-later wasn't emptied right and one thing led to another and caught on fire. The whole towns fire department came to the restaurant and it was one big mess. We didn't open the next the day at all because the fire department didn't clear us. Everything since has gotten better and we got new equipment, but at the time it was a huge ordeal.

Good Riddance

The day has finally come! Everyone at the restaurant is very excited! Mel is finally leaving!!!! I know out of everyone Jackie is very excited.

This is her last week and then she is gone forever. Nobody ever has to listen to her loud screeching voice anymore. Jackie is just excited because now she doesn't have the threaten her every time she tries to flirt with Jackie's boyfriend in front of her, because of that whole situation that happened over the summer.

Mel is finally gone after Sunday! I have a feeling that some people are going to be a lot happier going to work not having to listen to her. I'll update after she leaves and we can see how much the restaurant is better without her.

New Menu

The restaurant is now changing it's entire menu.

This completely sprung up out of the blue. We had a huge meeting the other day about it. I mean I am all for a new menu that should bring in new business and help me make more money, but I'm not sure if this one will. We are getting rid of a bunch of fan favorites, which I think will make customers not so happy. One thing that I am happy about is we are getting rid of some things that were pointless being on there. They are trying to make the menu an easy read because right now it's basically a book.

One thing I am not happy about it a new program we are doing. I can't describe it to you because then you might know what restaurant I am talking about and I could get in trouble. I'll let you know though if this new program is working out for us.

One Ruins for the Rest

We now have a new policy at the restaurant. We were told that there is a no cell phone policy ever, if they see us with a phone they can take it away. Now I feel that they can't do that I mean it's my job and I pay for my phone. The only reason they did this was because Mel is constantly on her phone anywhere and everywhere. Everyone is very mad about this because one person ruined it for everyone. I can't wait to see how management will enforce this, especially with Mel because
if they do not enforce it with her I will use my phone out back like I used to.

Newbies

There are now a lot of as we call them at the restaurant, newbies. There is a new host, 2 new servers, and 2 new cooks. The host, Dylan is well lets just say a tad annoying. He thinks he already knows the in a outs of this place, but he has no idea! He talks back to the other hosts that train him and they get super annoyed with Dylan. He has a bit of sass to him.

The new servers are okay. The people who trained them though didn't do that great of a job, because they have to get help from everyone. I know that it takes time, but some of the things they need help with is something they should have been taught.

The new cooks are pretty cool. The salad guy is awesome and everyone loves him so there is no complaints there. The new pizza cook on the other hand decided to leave whenever he felt like the other day in the middle of a rush. Bad management for not firing, possibly. But that just goes back to my bad management post where they basically have no clue what they are doing and don't have any discipline.
