Advanced/Apprentice: Culinary Chronicles, Capers & Canards

Ryan Rosenberger 11/1/13 The first time I worked snack shack, it was a lot of the new advanced culinary students first time as well. It was a very disorganized day, not many people understood how the snack shack ran. That’s when people with experience of the snack shack like Enea and I helped take control. It was a field hockey game, so it wasn’t too busy. And after a while, people finally got the hang of it and there was a groove yet again established. The amount of people that were running the snack shack was a good amount and every station had a worker. It was a semi-smooth run snack shack, but people just needed to get used to it and what it’s like. During this snack shack it was a soccer game so there was a decent amount of business going on. People had finally gotten their groove together and it was run smoothly. I did wrapping that time, and it was a busy night. Even though it was busy, we still got everything completed at a quick rate, and good-quality. We had a good supply on the dogs/burgers. But besides that, not much happened out of the ordinary; we cleaned up and got out in an orderly time. During this snack shack it was a soccer game so there was a decent amount of business going on. I did register that time, and it wasn’t much of a busy night. It wasn’t too busy so were there wasn’t much to do. But I do remember the fries being frozen over that day and they came out not too presentable. It could be a problem because we could potentionally loose future customers for having bad products. This was the first football game I worked and it was extremely busy. We sold everything we had and yet still ran smooth. Everyone was put into their jobs and it seemed to work out simply. I worked cashier and it was okay, I also was stationed next to the fries, which seemed to be extremely busy. For a football game it was good but, made a little too much food near the end. Besides that we also got out on time and it was clean and trouble-free. This football game we were extremely unprepared. We were down people and sadly it was due to Enea and I. That night I worked register with Nicole and Jackson. It was a busy night and most things were sold. I remember selling a lot of hot chocolate and a problem was we couldn’t find the rest of the cups. We sent Tate to go find them when in reality they were right under the middle counter. That was just a waste of time especially when we were down people. However, we all got out on time and it was a pleasent run.
