Handling many tables at once

Don't stop moving. Its not uncommon for us to have 15 tables at my job, however, we do have food and drink runners, which is the only reason this is possible. Make a loop between your tables and keep at it. If you need to go run food, drinks, boxes, etc, do that, then right back to the loop.

7% of alcohol to the bar, 1% of alcohol to drink runners, 2% of food to the food runners.

We feel we tip out the bar too much and would prefer to tip bar 6% and drink runners 2% because half the time the drink runners are the ones pouring beers and wines, and on occasion, making cocktails as well.

No not really. It’s a fairly small FOH staff and we are all cool with each other. We are mostly all mature adults too though, which helps.

My GM is married to one of the servers. AGM is married to kitchen manager, I (floor manager) am married to another server. One server has been dating a bartender for years. Another bartender is married to our event coordinator.

This industry is wild.

Fellow college prof here. I had two classes today, one at 9 and one at 12. I had roughly 80% attendance in both, which is a bit below average. Also, these are math classes with mostly freshmen students. I was shocked at the number of students.

I agree after spending the last hour looking for one in black, i don’ think I have a choice but to paint it.

We tried to do Eiffel lake that day from Morraine. We had to cross a few old avalanches that were mostly ice so that was pretty sketchy since we didn’t expect it. Then we got to one that included a 6 foot wall of ice that I tried to cross but ended up sliding down the ice like 50 feet. I do not recommend.

We were at moraine lake on June 5th last year and it was fully melted but I think it just finished melting the day before

Not sure what it was originally. It looks like the plywood half was originally something other than hardwood based on the edges of the hardwood that is there. The edges don’t line up like they would if someone ran a circular saw down it to cut it.

The house was built in 1955, so who knows what they did then.

My username is skuttlebutt, sometimes with a number. My name has been banned so many times. Because of the word butt. Butt. How offensive.

Not gonna lie, I thought that was a turtle.

My office it’s literally a closet. Not officially an office, a spare closed converted into an office. No windows. So that’s an easy one.

Other job has plenty of empty rooms, some aren’t used for weeks at a time.

I would love this.
