ALL:

  • 86 all of the Romaine, there was a Salmonella outbreak in Salinas, CA, we did not source our Romaine from there but the CDC has recalled all Romaine for now. This means 86 Caesar salads and all others will be substituted with Arcadia greens.

  • There is a very nasty flu virus going around, if you feel that you have a stomach virus with body aches and fever, stay home at least 48 hours symptom free for this one before coming back to work. Also, check your focus points regarding sanitation this week.

  • By the end of January, all employees must attend a tap room brewery tour. To help you all attend one, there will be some held on Monday, December 2nd at 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m., and 2 p.m. They will be available to pick up as house shifts on HS on 11/27.

  • Just an FYI, we don’t need to save Simple Green bottles, just AutoClor.

  • Haakan would like us to save a couple of ice cream buckets for him.

  • Civil War game is this Saturday at 1 p.m., we may get busy with guests watching here.

  • Thank you for taking the time to provide valuable feedback to Sarah, please also make sure to write legibly for her each time.

  • Just a reminder about dress code headed into colder months: baseball caps must have no logo or B15 logo and beanies must be B15 logo only. As far as outerwear goes, Block 15 logo or solid color is preferred. Also having logos on shirts still visible when wearing non-Block 15 outerwear is required. If these policies are followed closely, they will not need to change or become stricter.

FOH:

  • When delivering food to Caves, use the back door from the Alley, not the front public access.

  • When delivering food to a table please use full names for food, such as “Oregon country beef burger” not just “regular burger” or “spinach artichoke dip” not “spin dip”.

  • When a guest asks for an item that we still have as a secret item, i.e. BMT, just say we still have the ingredients to do that for you, don’t say “it’s on our secret menu”.

  • All of our pastas will now by bread by choice, so ask guests if they would like ale and when you enter it in the POS, it will prompt “bread” (1/2 ale) or “no bread”.

BOH:

  • When taking hot items down to the walk-in, please leave it out to cool before putting it into the walk-in, with the exception of soups at night. However, please place soups somewhere other than directly under the fan.
