Snack Shack Prep-work

My last experience with the snack shack was cut short due to a soccer game. I only worked for two hours helping prepare the food and set up supplies. Overall, I found it to be very successful as far as productivity goes. As a group we always stayed on task, we were cooperative, we set up tools and foods in their assigned stations, and we finished the preparation on time. There were however, a few areas where I feel we could have improved to be more efficient. On numerous occasions, someone from the group had to run down to the culinary room to pick up supplies we were missing. If we make a list of what is needed, arrive at the culinary room at the start of the shift, and all pitch in with transferring supplies back and forth, this dilemma could be prevented. Other than that, the only other predicament I faced was trying to get a hold of people. Whether it was calling someone’s cellphone down in the culinary room to tell them to bring something up, or calling someone in the snack shack asking them what to get, I wasn’t always able to reach people. The only solutions I could think of were either requiring cellphones to be on a certain volume as opposed to vibrate, or to utilize the walkie-talkies in the corner near the hotbox. In the long run though, these problems were rather minor and inconsequential. Matthew M.
