The story

The pain

When our kitchen is short-staffed and ticket times are long, we're still expected to do menu counts every 5-10 minutes on top of hosting, bussing, expo-ing delivery orders, and cleaning. It completely breaks our workflow, and we get blamed for not counting enough even though we're only one person.

What people said · 20 complaints, 20 people

I am being told to do menu counts every 5-10 minutes. Between guests coming in, the phone ringing, expo-ing all DoorDash orders, bussing, rolling silverware, and cleaning the bathrooms, this has FUCKED my flow up and now I’m struggling to get things done while running to the kitchen to be bitched at that I’m not counting enough. I am only one person.
