day three

Day 3;

Yesterday I was host again just to affirm with my skills.  I worked with Wolf as host today and showed him how to do everything so that I could have him take calls and I could learn about distribution of customers between waiters and filling the house. 

Today I was in the back with Kevin.  He taught me how to set tables, clear tables, what to do with dirty silverware, what to do with clean dishes, how to create the proper tray with everything needed for resetting tables… you know, normal everyday things that you never ever think twice about but, actually it’s super important.  Kevin was trained by a guy who was not there today but he knew what he was doing and so did Kevin. 

I wanted to learn more after awhile because it was a slow day and so I learned to be ‘hands’ for the guy who checks all the food to make sure it looks sellable. I learned how to read the tickets and how to serve the food to the guests (from the left).  I also learned how to clear empty plates from the customers (from the right).  And I lastly, learned what some of the foods served looked like so that I could match tickets to plates.  Overall good day!
