Friday May 17

When I walked in on Friday, I was greeted by Doug and Todd, the operations guy for both Fire and the Katz Club.  I was served coffee and I sat down with Todd to talk about what I wanted to get from this experience.  I mentioned that my previous project fell though and that I felt like a free labor cook at Flour.  I said that I wanted to help out mainly in the “front of the house”, which is the dining room as opposed to the kitchen.  I helped out by running some errands and sitting in on a meeting about the opening of the diner.  Later in the day I acted as a hostess, this was a cool opportunity because Jeannie gave me total control over the dining room; I could seat people wherever I wanted to.  After a little bit of time being the hostess, I created a more solid plan of how to seat people involving a dining room diagram.  I rotated between server’s sections of the dining room so that each server had a more equal amount of customers.  Opening day is coming up and I can’t wait to be involved in the chaos!
