If anything is broken and you are providing feedback to management about it, please mention how it is broken so we can better help you.
Focus point for this week will be communication for all! It’s so important to communicate effectively about anything with your team so we can work as efficiently as possible.

FOH:

When making a bakery bar, please push a spoon into the top center of the bakery bar. Push into it by about half of the depth of the bar. This allows for the ice cream to stay centered and not slide off the bar. Picture for reference →
There is now a button to discount birthday desserts. It will prompt you for the discount amount and if they want a candle or not when ringing the dessert in. ONLY use this for birthday discounts- all other discounts still need approval.
Don’t forget to call your apps out when running them to tables. It reminds the kitchen to start entrees.
Also, an FYI, if you ring in an “As App”, it will prompt the kitchen to not fire entrees for that table until the app leaves. If a table is in a hurry, please make proper arrangements by not ringing in “as app” and letting them know the app may come at the same time as entrées (also be mindful of timing, spinach dip will obviously take longer than two 185 mile salads, so use your best judgement). If you have questions- ask a manager or line cook.

BOH:

Please be diligent about waste logging avocados.
With our new refrigeration, items may be moved around and reorganized. Prepare for some things to have new homes.

Pick a cubby or take your shoes home from the break room by Friday please- they will be donated if not picked up.
We have placed beer names on cubbies so that they can be easily reused later and reduce the use of tape, please only use that identification for yourself.
New break room table will be here Wednesday, please keep the break room clean in the mean time for ease of access and to keep it nice and new.
When replacing mop heads, take the old ones downstairs, don’t leave them in the sink.
If you access the new walk-in in prep, please close the door completely to make sure the seal is closed, don’t slam it, just pull it tight.
New crackers will start once we run out of the packaged! Either tonight or tomorrow. Procedure will be posted by Sarah.
If you are backing something out (i.e. backing out ranch, making whipped cream) date according to the original date it was made or when the container was initially opened, not when you backed it out.

FOH:

Make sure the FOH monthly cleaning tasks are getting done.
The host/food runner shift change and sani lists live in the host stand on the lost and found clipboard-please mark off a duty the second it is done and make sure all tasks are completed.
There will now be a hold avocado button with a discount attached to it for when we are out (it is under the modifier screen). Please only use this button when we’re actually out of avocados.
There will also be a 2oz Pork add-on button only for burgers because it is a better fit on burgers. Don’t use this button for any other add-ons.
When picking printer rolls for the kitchen- pick the rolls with one sheet of paper on the roll (not the ones with a second paper that’s yellow on the roll) for regular rolls. The rolls with yellow sheets in them are expo rolls only. FOH rolls are also shiny not matte like the kitchen.

BOH:

Make sure the buns for the American burger are toasty, drop them before the burger- double check the update on the procedure for it if needed.
·Please focus on cleanliness on the line, make sure your cutting board is clean and the window is clean to keep plates tidy on the top and the bottom.

If you use the last of the chocolate sauce, please save the bottle to wash and be re-used. It can be run through the dishwasher after you take the label off.
Restock Servers, we have a lot of packaged beer at the moment- so it is in the cellar.
Openers: don’t use comet in the bathrooms any more- please follow the bathroom checklist as it lists what chemicals to use where.
When grabbing sauce for the line, always grab the bottle in front first, they are organized by date this way. (Ex. if there’s three mayo containers, grab the one closest to you to use)

Summer can mean that we will have slow times throughout the day. Please stay busy during this time and try not to congregate at the host stand or server stations. If you’re looking for something to do to stay busy- ask a manager. We recognize that space is more limited with the remodel, but if you’re off the clock, please make room for working employees.
Don’t forget to check out with managers before clocking out- especially closers, we need to do that walk through before you go and we may need you to wait with us for safety reasons.

FOH:

We will have a new bourbon Block 15 Barrel selection soon. Once the Eagle Rare is gone, we will switch to Buffalo Trace. It is $7.50 for one 1.5oz. pour.
Servers, when you are phased, we expect you to be done 15-20 minutes after your phase time (no later than 30 minutes unless extenuating circumstances). Sometimes there are breaks and other things that get in the way and we will keep that in mind when phasing you. Hosts, we expect you to be done in about 10 minutes. Be prepared for managers to give you expected out times at time of phasing.
Closers, please wipe down the host anti-fatigue mat with simple green and a used sani towel before leaving.
Please prop the kitchen swing door by the ice machine open at night with a chair (sometimes takes two chairs) to keep that area ventilated overnight. Openers, please place the chair(s) back where it belongs before we unlock the door.

BOH:

Let’s focus on plating bullets this week. If sauce spills on the side for an entrée, that’s fine but let’s try to plate it so that sauce doesn’t fall onto the entrée item itself making the bread soggy.
The shop vac should be dumped and cleaned when you’re done with it. Leave it open when you’re finished and managers will double check it.
When wiping down under the make table, please scrub everything off the shelf and walls.
Let’s make sure we’re using old herbs first. They should only be making it to the bus tub and if they don’t look good, throw them out and waste log them before grabbing more.

Make sure you are recycling responsibly. Only glass goes into the glass recycling bin and all other recycling besides cardboard can go into commingled recycling. Milk and half & half cannot be recycled. If you’re unsure of what’s recyclable, ask a friend.

FOH:

Servers, don’t offer meat temps to customers, if they request a temp, we will do it but our burgers will come standard medium well.
Make sure if a customer has not had our tuna sandwich that they understand what it will be like. Please clarify with them that it is flaked and lightly dressed with a citrusy flavor. If you haven’t tried it and want a sample, please ask a line cook. The tuna for the sandwich is the same tuna for the Mediterranean salad.
If there is a location next to an employee’s name on a food ticket, please run it to that location. If the location is the office or no location, they can pick it up. If you have time to run office food, please do so but don’t make it the priority in running tickets up. (ex. “Katy- office” or “Julia- brewbar” vs. “Amanda”)
Servers, please do your money at the brewbar as envelopes live there right now and take your drop to the bartender when you’re done until further notice/until there’s a safer path to access the mailbox.

Take your employee belongings home from the break room by the 15th 😊 Anything left over, will be donated as walls will be demolished starting the 17th.
Please wash your hands and sanitize frequently- another round of sickness is going around.
Going forward, the tap room will not have more diversity in retail. They may have more sizes but call over there first to check before sending a customer all of the way out there.
It’s so important that we’re repeating it: during prep construction, it is very important to be diligent on organization of food items and triple checking dates to avoid food waste.
Please brew a new pot of coffee if you’re the last to take some, if you don’t know how, ask a friend.

FOH:

Please pace your tickets when ringing in food and drink tickets, food especially. This ensures guests are getting their items at appropriate times and that the kitchen and bar aren’t getting overwhelmed.

BOH:

Nothing should be on the bottom of the reach-in other than ketchup overnight. It won’t circulate properly.
Make sure the balsamic is portioned properly on the bruschetta for consistency.
Drain the market veggies really well for the Mediterranean Salad- should be drained once in prep and again on the line.
The board will no longer be served with a lemon.
Keep an eye on the TLC bread toast level- should be a nice light gold color. Also, make sure everything is distributed evenly on the sandwich for proportionate bites.
Fryer station: Continue to keep a watchful eye on the ice used to keep fish cool- it should be changed every 4 hours but check it often as we move into hot weather this week.

New Monthly Specials start today!
There is a remodel of the downstairs happening for two weeks starting the 16th! It will be a significant improvement of prep space and employee space specifically! This means, there will be some strange things happening during this time: you may be scheduled project shifts to help with moving things, the employee space won’t exist as of the 17th (it will be in the brewbar area), and prep will be in the game room and the game room will be closed.
Take your employee belongings home from the break room by the 16th 😊 Anything left over, will be donated as walls will be demolished starting the 17th.
Just an FYI, although the bullets for sauces are smaller- it is still the same amount of sauce you would receive in a larger bullet.
Please bring a spoon with Lamb Meatballs when the dish is being shared.
With another round of illness, please review the sick call policy and follow the directions when you’re ill. If you are confused about what symptoms warrant staying home- call to discuss with a manager.
We will be adding the tomato & basil garnish that comes on the garlic cream linguine to the pesto pasta as well! For to go orders for these pastas, the garnish will come on the side.

FOH:

We have decided to bring the 10:45/10:30 server in earlier. If you are scheduled this shift please prioritize by first: stuffing menus, then checking with the opener and seeing if they need help, and finally moving to picking lists (pick bar list first).
When picking lists, please put it away ASAP and don’t leave at the end of the bar as it looks cluttered.
When you take calls or write down an item to keep an eye out for the lost and found- please date it so we can take it off the corkboard at an appropriate time to declutter that space.

BOH:

During prep construction, it is very important to be diligent on organization of food items and triple checking dates to avoid food waste.
There will be a dishwasher daily during construction since we won’t have a prep dishwasher. Please help organize for them when you can.
Fryer station: Keep a watchful eye on the ice used to keep fish cool- it should be changed every 4 hours but check it often as we move into summer.

Beavs Super Regionals in town this weekend
Employee discount applies to drafts or to-go beer only- packaged beer for in house consumption is regular price for employees
Clean bar mats should be placed on server side of clean kitchen floor at close
Mac and Cheese will now be served a la carte – guests are welcome to add a salad/soup/side o’ fries if they’d like (just like pasta)
Let’s talk lettuce wraps: Mayo will not come standard on the side, but any other flavored sauce or mayo will. Tuscan chicken will come with red wine vinegar and olive oil added, a side of pesto, no mayo. Guests may request mayo of course, hook ‘em up.
Reminder: please clock out promptly after completing work tasks: this means before changing shoes/clothes/etc.

FOH:

Ketchup: Only married ketchups need to be refrigerated at night. Ketchups that have been married can gather in a cranberry-colored rack on counter by packaged beer cooler to be put in refrigerator at close. Ketchups freshly filled can stay at the two stations to be used as backups the next day. Refrigerated/Married ketchups should be the first placed on tables in AM. This rotation process & refrigeration will prevent fermented ketchups. As always, wipe them down and keep an eye out for weird bubbles.
While having the front door open can be super nice, guests’ comfortability is #1. Please let a manager know if it gets too breezy, or stuffy, and ultimately, it’s the manager’s decision what happens with the door
If you need help as a server it is our expectation that you ask your float or leads on the floor for assistance. Knowing that you need help is a good thing! Also, please be cognizant of stacking tickets, this prevents a healthy flow for both the kitchen and the bar.
Under no circumstances should glasses other than rocks glasses or kids’ cups should be stacked in dirty racks. Especially taster glasses- they’re fragile!
Closers should now be putting chairs up at night (not bar stools)

Please keep dairy items towards the left in the fridge, there’s a piece of tape denoting which area it should go in. Otherwise, it will be stored in a warm pocket and need to be thrown out.

FOH:

Let’s focus on protein portioning and presentation this week. Specifically, let’s really focus on portioning smoked chicken. Weigh it out sporadically throughout your shift for consistency.

The portioning for shiitake po’ boy is 2 ounces- continue to weigh every time.

Keep an eye on the portion for kid’s rice bowl as well, it is two green scoops.

FOH:

When putting away ketchups at night, make sure we aren’t moving anything shelf-wise, just slide items over to make room (raw items must stay on bottom shelf). Ask kitchen staff if you need help finding room.
On the subject of ketchups, please make sure they are wiped down after they are filled so they aren’t sticky the next day.
Please help bus and wipe the brewbar and rail as needed.
Alongside other menu changes tomorrow, we will be changing how we offer sides. Please tell guests, “Your burger/sandwich comes standard with fries, if you would like, you may upgrade to soup or salad.” The upcharge for a side of soup or salad will be $1.

BOH:

We will be weighing mushrooms for the Po Boy from now on for consistency. Sarah will announce what the weight is soon.
If you are transferring something from Block to Caves or from Caves to Block, have a lead or manager of the location you are taking from sign off on the transfer sheet for it. If no lead or manager is on, ask whoever is there.
If you transfer three different items or more, fill out an invoice and have someone sign off on it and leave a copy above the recycling bin (ex. “1 jar of capers, 1 jar of mayo, and 2 oranges” would need to be invoiced). Ask a manager if you have questions.
Please pay attention to rotation of all items in all areas. Newest always needs to go in back so the oldest items are used first. This goes for items in prep and in upstairs kitchen. Double check your dates.
Do your best to work ahead on prepping bacon ahead of rushes, we want to stay away from frying bacon. If it’s an emergency and prep is still here- they can throw some in the oven.

Let’s really focus on tracking our sauces, specifically ranch. If you grab a ranch for a table, there is a tally sheet living in the upstairs server cabinet and one in the kitchen to track if it is NOT being run in the computer by a server.
Servers- offer side sauces when appropriate while taking a guests’ order for convenience and tracking. Ring in every sauce, every time, unless its ranch accounted for on the tally sheet.
Make sure to clean your tables before going on break.
Please refresh yourselves on our policy when it comes to introducing/letting tables know when they are getting a new server.
Try to keep the server bus station upstairs as tidy as possible. This includes not constantly having extra glassware bus bins and dirty silverware containers- it creates clutter.
If you take the last of item from a box, break it down. If you don’t have time to recycle it in that moment, let a friend know to help you remember to do so or see if they can take it.
Don’t forget some of our guest beverage options have changed! Please refresh yourself by visiting Goody’s write up in the kitchen.

BOH:

Only use the swamp cooler when absolutely necessary and not for too long to avoid cooling off food in the window.
Speaking of food temps, please time grilled chicken well so it’s not sitting in the window for too long as it cools quickly.
Prep will now slice a lemon for Salmon Mousse for consistency.
Reminder: Be very cautious not to over fill the oil bins! Make sure you leave a substantial gap so it won’t overflow when heated by the sun. Sarah will also be including a write up in the newsletter on proper clean up if an oil spill occurs.
Make sure the buns for the Paddy Burger are toasty since it’s a messy one.
Let’s check the tortilla chip par around 4:30 when the night lead is here to avoid having to make more during dinner.
