3 Days of Service Done

Finished the first week of service at the ai Bistro as the pantry chef and then my first day of service as the steward. I loved working pantry, calling out orders, trying to keep straight how many salads and how many appetizers I needed to be making. It was amazing. Some notes...

Pantry
I like pantry. I quickly worked out a simple method to keep my orders straight. "Ordering two salads, 1 appetizer, 2 salads to go," and BOOM I'm pulling out two salad plates, one app plate, and two to-go boxes. Simple enough. But then I still had to keep a general idea of what was going out when. Otherwise if I just worked on salads then all the salads would be up to speed but no appetizers. I enjoyed that, trying to keep all the orders straights, knowing the order of when the 8 salads, 5 appetizers, and 6 to go boxes needed to be ready. FUN.

Steward
Fuck steward. Dishes suck. Fuck dishes.

I can't wait for next week (Sous Chef and Expediter) and then week 4, FINALLY moving to the hotline.
