The kids are all back in school, Stephanie is back at work now, and today which is my Monday actually coincides with the proper day of the week. I had to cut my cook today and tomorrow and have her wait tables. The new manager is supposed to cook with me the next two days, which kind of sucks since that means I will spend 90% of my day on the grill, instead of getting shit done that I need to. Hopefully it will go smoothly. Coming back from my days off there are several things I have to do including audits on the cash and food, and that will take me at least an hour, depending on how busy it is out front. This may end up being a pretty long day.

I had my employee meeting last Tuesday afternoon. I think it was a letdown for a few of them. I don’t know if they expected my head to spin around and start belching fire, but it was very short (as I have to pay them for the time) and succinct. I hate meetings and it is not very often that I have them. This is probably my 2nd one in three years. My boss ended up running her mouth longer than I did and I cut it short. There were only three things that I needed to go over anyway, so it lasted 10-15 minutes. Pretty easy stuff too.

1. Get along regardless of whether you like everyone or not.

2. If I even suspect that anyone has been buying or selling pills I will call the law and let them handle it.

3. Food Cost. The 2nd biggest problem that I have, and one of the ones that are affecting my paycheck the most.

I haven’t had to fire anyone yet, but have made some major changes on a couple of schedules, and have had to write warnings for a couple. The way I figure it, I am leaving soon to open a new store and I can’t leave the new guy with a bunch of problems.
