pentyne posted:I think you're missing the entire point which is "don't narc on coworkers" when they take something like food or drinks. No one is rolling in and taking $6k worth of truffles this is all stuff that could easily be accounted for as food waste. I've been giving everyone in my restaurants free meals because there's a pandemic, discounts went up 0.5% and food waste went down 0.5%.

Naelyan posted:Hopefully it mostly ends up like what happened here when minimum went from $11.60 to $14 in a day: fuckin' nothing. Owners that are complaining about minimum wage increasing were already scheduling the minimum amount of labour, and you can't cut more staff from there and still function. They'll either eat the costs or increase prices, and hopefully it doesn't affect you too much. The couple years after this were our most profitable ever, turns out giving millions of potential customers a 20% raise is actually good for business.

fizzymercury posted:He groped her then tossed a $20 at her. He was planned this move. It wasn't like a long drawn out deal. They immediately forcibly removed the guy. I don't really know how they could have helped in the moment. This happened at one of my first restaurants. 3 of the cooks went sprinting after him carrying a shovel - I never learned what happened after that. It's a weird patriarchal culture where there's a constant background hum of sexual harassment coming from the kitchen, but they get angry when a customer does it.

"we really need you" Interviewed another GM today whose company transferred him to a store where he doesn't speak the local language and left him there for 2 years. vvv Shady bosses here like to hire recent immigrants who don't know their legal rights and might even depend on their job to get PR. I've spent the past year poaching hotel/fine/casual talent into my QSR business in exchange for higher pay and benefits, less hours, and no emotional abuse. I think the sector's gonna be in big trouble once we re-open. COPE 27 fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Jun 10, 2021 |

I've seen a couple fires from that. Not sure how you could get an injury though? I can't imagine coming into contact with the oil when you're draining it, it's still hot for like 6 hours after you turn off the fryer.

You can definitely serve medium burgers in Canada because I order them all the time. In my area the health code doesn't define specific can and cants for restaurants, but requires them to have a written food safety plan that is approved by the health inspector.

mandatory lesbian posted:(Okay but in honesty thats what i assume will happen, i have never worked with grubhub or any of those apps so i dont actually know if the contract says the resteraunt is supposed to fill all those orders and is liable for the cost) Typically they only pay a percentage for cancelled orders, so you aren't out foodcost but it doesn't cover labour or the other orders you didn't get to make instead.

In one of the provinces the government did a soda tax overnight and our POS supplier couldn't update their 1990's spaghetti code fast enough so hundreds of restaurants had to do that poo poo by hand.

The most realistic thing is everyone refusing to do things different, because it is not the way they always did it (that is leading them towards failure.)

Shooting Blanks posted:This, 100%. It's also a service oriented business that will never run out of clients - unless you live in a tiny town with only a handful of restaurants, there will always be places that need that service. Also once you are certified you can start your own business and people will gladly pay you $150/hr to show up on time and sober.

Naelyan posted:Hey FoodGoons, anyone here have any experience transitioning to a higher-end, gourmet grocery store? I'm about to get offered an exec position at a locally owned one (they do to go sandwiches and salads and poo poo, have a whole aisle full of in-house soups/chilis/dips/sauces/etc/etc, and also have a hot lunch counter with sandwiches/wraps/pizza/panzerotti/paninis - I'd be overseeing all of it) and it all seems way too loving good to be true so I'm wondering if anyone has any insight as to what I might be missing and if I'm actually considering stepping into hell or something. Try to be chill with people and don't bring your baggage to your new job.
