The Pub I work in has been closed for a refit for five weeks. We open again on the 11th. For the past couple of weeks, we've been having pre-opening training, getting used to some new rules and making sure all the new staff are up to speed.
It's been a terrible challenge, especially yesterday, when the kitchen staff were put through their paces, cooking everything on the menu - and, as it would be criminal to just throw away such wonderful food, the bar staff just had to eat as much as they could!
Oh the trials of training!
Today we get to "role play". Half of us are cust...oops, guests...who must order drinks and food from the other half who are providingthe bar service. Then we sit and eat, paying atention to the floor service.
When we're done, we swap over and the group that just ate get to do some work.
Terrible, just terrible.
Anyway, that's pretty much the reason I've not kept up with what I wanted to do. There's lots of stuff in the pipeline, I just hope I get the time to write it all out.
Keep checking back, and don't forget to add your own comments if you want. I'd enjoy hearing your feedback.
