Cheese Board: Rogue smoked bleu cheesecake, blackcurrant gelee, bourbon candied Freddy Guys hazelnuts with dried cherries, spiced bittersweet chocolate, water crackers.
*Employees are eligible to receive a 100% discount on an unmodified, new food menu item during the first week of the menu item's release as long as critical feedback is given on the item.
Damage Control –When exercising damage control gather as much info as you can about the issue, access the situation, and approach a manager with a solution. If you need to re-fire or fire a new item, please let the kitchen know that before filling them in on the whole story. That way the kitchen is getting the food started as soon as possible to help insure the customer has a good experience at Caves.
Signing the R&S – Starting this week we will begin to start auditing read and signs. That means if you have not signed past ones you will be given a verbal warning followed by a write up on your next time failing to sign. Past read and signs are posted in the back hall so if you have been on vacation, work primarily at another Block business or just plain forgot, please go through them and review them and sign all that you have not previously.
FRONT OF HOUSE:
Sani Water - Use a black bucket for sanitizer water. It is less noticeable than the red bucket to guests.
Signing off Lists - If you are a bartender signing off the kitchen closing list, please make sure to physically check the items on the list, not just see that the kitchen closer has checked them off.
