It is sorta hilarious to me that the dishwashing machine is often the most expensive individual piece of equipment in a restaurant and the person operating it is usually the least paid.

Whenever anyone says to me "Oh man, my [kid/friend/self/whatever] wants to be a chef so bad, what's the best way to start?", my honest reply is "Don't. If they can find anything else they could be happy with, they'll make enough money and have enough free time to cook as a hobby and have a better life for it." And then I go back to work.

Welp let me tell you about Elizabeth's Pizza. I somehow managed to survive there for like 2 years before getting canned for absolutely no reason. Shamir is cool, but its his crazy rear end loving uhh I think cousin Anntonet who is bat poo poo nuts. There is a reason that place has basically employed like everyone in this city. Oh and the time she thought her car was in reserve only to drive through the god drat restaurant. I laughed at that one. I enjoyed working there and it really got me into the scene so I do appreciate that. But yeah, that lady is something.

Anyone got methods for keeping mosquitos at bay? Were right off a golf course and lake (and swampland) in rural wisconsin. Come 9 o'clock every table that asks to sit outside will ask for a table inside as soon as we can greet them.

I work 50 yards from the beach in the summer. You will never ever get rid of the flys or mosquitos. It seriously is like impossible. So if you choose to eat outdoors around a body of water during the summer then yeah get use to that poo poo.

There are tiny automated turrets that detect and fire an infrared beam at mosquitos, melting their wings. https://youtu.be/tzJo9fp7Z0U

Come 9 o'clock every table that asks to sit outside will ask for a table inside as soon as we can greet them. There are propane powered mosquito traps that people say are very effective, however they do have a high up front cost. They work by disrupting the mosquito population in a localized area; apparently mosquitos don’t travel around much so if you eliminate the population in a 1-acre area it’ll stay free of bugs.

BTI is a larvacide people use in their garden. You add the granules to water, the mosquitos lay their eggs in there and the larva die, it's totally safe for dogs/cats/frogs/humans that may accidentally take a sip. That means you can add it to ponds/standing water without harming the good beasties (though a lake might be a bit big). You can set up water traps with the BTI, depending how close the lake is this may disrupt the life cycle and mean no mosquitos, but should surely mean less! (I think its also effective on some other little flying bugs, like midges)

how open is your outdoor seating area? might be able to put up mosquito netting if you're just talking about a small patio or semi-enclosed area

for any active prevention or suppression plans you're going to need buy-in from neighboring property managers which sounds like a pain in the rear end to me

if you want to take more active measures check with your county health department or other local health and human services, someone should be able to put you in touch with whoever oversees mosquito abatement in your area and then can probably give you some useful info/ hook you up with reputable local companies

My break(if you can even call it that) consist of me running over to the grocery store, slamming a beer, picking up deli meat for the crew, and returning back to the shop. While on a good day I might get to sit for 15 minutes and then enjoy my sandwich before it's all interrupted by customers. Eat as fast as I can and Then return to my 12 hour day. Love it.

It’s one part of why so many people in the service industry smoke. Your addiction magically entitles you to an extra 30-60 min a shift (depending how lovely you are) of paid break time while the rest of the restaurant picks up your slack.

Big oscillating fans work, you don't need much air motion to overpower them and keep them downwind.

I only do this when I'm stuck with dumbass teenagers that don't smoke but do spend fifteen minutes of every hour "using the bathroom" because they get cussed out when they would rather post on social media than take care of tickets. When working with actual adults, it's not very difficult to keep smoke breaks under twenty minutes over eight hours. I'm not avoiding work, I'm trying not to hate you.
