The Maestro posted:If you told me it took you 4 hrs to do the servsafe I would think long and hard about starting a remedial program in my kitchen. The problem being it's *all* auto play video. That I couldn't skip easily. Like the course thing said it was supposed to take 6 hours. I know back when I originally got my cert, in school. It took either a day or two of class time to cover the whole boring thing, then the exam itself. The actual exam took me like, 20min. The long part was the whole rest of the video thing. If I'd kept up, I could have been done in 30min probably. But mine had long lapsed so I had to go through the whole thing again. e - Hah, Ohio is voluntary for having it (for food handlers at least, management needs to.) But they're just having us do it because of this whole other thing in the hospital that had nothing to do with us. But resulted in a thorough inspection. I won't go into *to* much detail just to avoid making connections to easy. But a thing happened, so they're being thorough to avoid issues.

LunarShadow posted:I don't know how grub hub pays their drivers. But with Door Dash they give the driver a minimum guaranteed payment of around 6 bucks per delivery. If someone tips, their tip is applied to that 6 dollars and Door dash tops it up to the minimum and unless there is a rush bonus that's all you get. And even during the rush most drivers, at least here in Atlanta, can only manage about 2 deliveries an hour if they are lucky and don't get stuck in the hell traffic. I did a shift friday and only got two deliveries done in the two hours of the dinner rush cause the roads were /hosed/. Well that explains why it takes Doordash 25 minutes to find a drat driver in the relatively dense suburban area I work in, jesus christ that's loving retarded

Dear restaurant owners/managers: Please make sure your website is up to date, specifically with regards to the days/hours you are actually open. Sincerely, a woman who just tried to reply to your "no phone calls, apply in person" ad, checked your website, and got gussied up , drove downtown to your store (courteously during the applying-for-jobs 2-4pm zone, of course), and struggled to find parking, only to find out that you're not loving open on Mondays like your website says (Welp, at least I know where to park when I go back downtown tomorrow.) fake edit: But seriously, if I'm that pissed off, imagine how pissed off your would-be customers are. fake edit part 2: seems like a whole lotta industry folks migrate into IT/coding... some of y'all restaurant vets should band up and make a company that specializes in designing and selling restaurant websites that actually function, stay updated, don't have squirrely interfaces or PDF menus, render correctly on my coal-powered tablet, etc

It's been snowing so much here that we closed three hours early today, because the later it gets, the harder it would have been to get home. I don't mind the short day at all, given how much I've been working lately. Now if only I could get a whole day to myself...

I just got a text from the owner asking me not to come in because the roads are so hosed (and also we're slow this week). It was just going to be an ordering/cleaning/organizing day anyway, so gently caress it, I'm not putting pants on. The snow is loving sideways. I don't want it.

I really wish restaurant owners could wrap their head around the difficulty of finding people to deliver catering. People that have a reliable car and a valid driver's license usually have actual jobs and aren't gonna show up for an hour or two on weekdays to take a catering to the other side of town.

The problem is that it almost has to be two separate groups of people because they have us delivering all over the drat county and literally 90% of our catering customers want their order set up weekdays at 11:30 +/- 30 minutes and we open for business at 11. We typically only run 4-5 people for lunch and drivers are typically gone till noon or later unless it happens to be right around the corner, which means when we need 2-3 drivers because there's three orders in three different directions and they're all 20+ minutes from the store and each other we're hosed.

Facebook was easy to straighten out, but I'd try to fix the Google listing and it would get changed back to the wrong hours a week later somehow. And then there were my lazy rear end coworkers that would close early so they could go hang out at loving Applebee's. Customers bitched at me a lot for that, too.

Facebook was easy to straighten out, but I'd try to fix the Google listing and it would get changed back to the wrong hours a week later somehow. Google seems to be impossible to fix when it has incorrect information outside of search, and it's not just restricted to businesses. As an example, there's an overpass near me that was torn down nearly a year ago to be reconstructed and every other week Google Maps give me directions to go over that nonexistent bridge. I submitted the original ticket when it was first demolished and included a note saying it would be at least a year (per the City of Houston/Harris County) so it's not like they were given bad information either.

Anyone got any tips for cleaning hood filters shaped like this: Cleaning in-between the slats is a giant pain in the rear end. They're too big to fit in our fryers so I can't just boil them clean which is how I've done it most places I've worked. Is there some sort of spray-on degreaser anyone's familiar with that's super effective on caked-on rubbery grease?

Nothing big enough to soak them in, either, so I just spray them down with degreaser and let that marinate for a while. Gonna see if I can't get some of the good stuff that will melt your flesh if it gets on you.
