Snack shack...

            Okay, so, last Friday was my first time ever working the snack shack. If I were to sum it up, I’d say it was insane. I don’t think I ever actually heard a full sentence from Matt, but he was maybe 12 inches away. I have also developed a mild phobia of fried food, after being immersed in deep fryers for about 5 hours straight, and I think my skin absorbed a good 12 oz of the oil over the course of the night.

            Now, as I found out it was the busiest snack shack of all time, I feel a little better, I mean what better of a breaking-in game for my first time!! Sarcasm aside, in the moment it was very stressful, but also kinda fun, but still waaaayyy crazy. But yeah, as I became one with the deep frying station, I noticed a couple things. For starters, we should devise a better transfer system, having to cross over to the middle station with a searing hot fryer, or an insanely hot hotel pan, could be improved up, side mount attached perpendicular to fridge? Also, when we ran out of prepped fries, Luke and gang got rather impatient, (and LOUD) so if another game like that ever arises, a good 30 hotels of fries could have been prepped.

            Besides that, once we got into the swing of things, it turned to chaos, it was impossible to keep up with the size of the kitchen we have, and the amount of orders coming in. Luckily, this will probably be the busiest game I will ever work, and of course it figures it would be my first.

            I will definitely be interested to see what this Thursday brings, when the snack shack isn’t at about ten times its maximum capacity! Before I finish, I think that if possible we could devise the ventilation system to incorporate the fourth fryer, it would be a game changer. By having three dedicated to fries, and one for the occasional falafel, which screws everything up, or maybe some chicken tenders, it would be a lot easier, than having to juggle three fryers for about a million orders. What an expierince. I think it took me all weekend to get the smell of the food out of my pores.
