Well the grill is open and had a trial run this past Friday night.
I have what I think is a great crew. We had decent sales despite the fact that
not a lot of people knew we were going to be open. This was to be our chance to
design how the team works and what the requirements are. Some changes definitely
have to be made in who goes where, and how the communication needs to be
handled. I did find my time on the grill was limited due to the public
relations factor. I am hoping these taper off so that I can actually do more in
the kitchen. Everyone wants a piece of my time and I just want to cook. It will
be a fine balancing act I am sure. Once I can get the purchasing on a
rotational schedule, things should even out a bit. Right now, I find a lot of
my time this past week was spent in just purchasing. Shopping has never been
something I enjoy. As a team, my kitchen staff is on a fast track learning curve.
As an owner I have to remember at all times that, they are new to this, and so
am I. Someone has to pretend they know what they’re doing, I guess that’s me.
