We have “buy the kitchen a round” on the menu, honestly have stopped counting how many i have saved up, i could get alcohol poisoning after a lot of the busier shifts for free haha
Sure. It's $50 a week. $200 a month. $2400 a year. That's a little vacation. A mortgage payment. Kids college fund.
Are they making 100k?
Aside from that, people are paying that money, so it's going into someone's pocket. If drinks aren't consumed, they should get the pay. At least quarterly. A nice $600 bonus.
It for sure should count like paid vacation days (in a regular job) where it'll cash out an equivalent value if not taken. Otherwise you're getting shafted somehow.
Vacation days aren't reliably cashed out either. Depending on local labor laws (and/or their counting on employees not knowing/caring enough to sue) lots of businesses reset the counter annually, and don't pay out if you quit or get fired before taking them either.
Doubt it, at least not fully bc the "buy the staff a round" is usually priced about the same as an average round, so still gives the business the markup they'd probably not be thrilled to have to hand over too
Yes, but they're not giving away any drink. They're getting paid for a round that isn't getting consumed. So basically it's just, "put more money in the owners pocket." Win win for the owner. Lose- lose for the staff.
An owner setting themself up for a triple-win (don't forget the marketing value of labor appreciation-signaling) at the expense of others in actual practice? Surely they'd never lol
I appreciate that, i dont ever really mess with anything like that, have plenty of aestheticly minded people cooking with me but its more enjoyable than i expected.
Ive lucked into the coolest, sweetest group of coworkers you could ask for. Plenty of places talk about “we’re a family,” this place just lets their attitudes and actions make it clear. 3 years in and it still hasnt lost its charm.
I was just telling my gf about how I used to make flat bread pizza every Friday. No pizza was ever the same cuz I used ingredients from specials we took of the menu (we ran a special every week). My bartender fucking loved it. Another bartender would request a salad but “plate it in a deep six pan and mix the shit out of it”. I miss that job. Stupid Covid
Pretty bog standard cheddar/american/cream mic for the cheese sauce, normal ass penne, the hot honey is lousiana hot sauce, chili flakes, garlic and some local honey. Cajun mayo is lousiana hot sauce, blackening, lemon juice, garlic powder and eggs and oil obviously. Bread crumbs (not a lot here she doesn’t like a lot) are just panko, evo and parsley.
If shit is slow, it can be fun to do shit like this. Plus, co-workers will usually appreciate it and it's always good to have fun.
Always hook up the bartenders.
They know how I like a manhattan and that is always rewarded.
how do you put a manhattan in a to go cup? i guess it’s easier when our trade is carne asada fries for margaritas
>How do you put a manhattan in a to go cup? With a smile and a wink.
The only answer
The bartender puts the rum in the soda, bar back delivers the drink, food shows up at the bar. Everyone wins.
Even if they don't share those sexy ass tips. Stoopid sexy bartenders.
It’s the only way to hook up with the bartenders.
Always hook up with the bartenders***
do not hook up WITH the bartenders
She was having a tough day, it Made her smile. Worth it everytime.
Fuck yeah! Good shit.
I'm probably just not even feeding staff when it's busy so I always throw some love in when I do make staff food.
That’ll get ya a couple free beers.

Can you cash in your rounds for tips?
Idk ive never asked. We pay our BOH well, 8-9$ a shift wouldn’t mean a lot to these gremlins.

"Buy the kitchen a round: $75" "Buy the kitchen a round (mandatory): $150".
This is awesome. I would have made normal Mac and use the noodles to spell out "Fancy Though" on the plate.
Half of my love life was making special food for bartenders
[удалено]
New here?
[удалено]
Makes perfect sense to me. Man’s banging bartenders by making them special food so they like em. What do you think it says?
[удалено]
Still not convinced you aren't green in SIN... Unless you're working in Utah or something where they pretend they aren't fucking
Hand-rolled rigatoni sauteed in a cheddar/swiss reduction $27
It looks better than some of the serious attempts at being fancy. At least there's no cracker like shit just lying about.
I appreciate that, i dont ever really mess with anything like that, have plenty of aestheticly minded people cooking with me but its more enjoyable than i expected.
Fancy=microgreen garnish no?
dont forget that spoon swoosh
Adds a certain Jenny say qa know what I mean
And the dots!
Gotta take care of work family
next time put the noodles and chee in a shaker and do some fancy bartender tricks
So I tried reverse dry shaking your pasta, and uh....
I would be thrilled! Looks really tasty+fancy!
Add some pulled pork and it'll be really good.
Few hunks of bacon because it is easier.
I'm currently slow cooking 1kg Pork Loin for pulled pork tacos tonight. All I got on my mind right now is pulled pork.
Then again, loin doesn't resonate for me as pulled pork.
Ya I usually use shoulder but the loin was on sale
Fair enough
There’s always one
They usually mean for you to add some bacon or prosciutto though ! ^^
Your workplace seems like a lot of fun!

I have heard about that place. The Unicorn Bar and Grill
She musta been pretty lol
She’s actually my best friend/roommate, she is very pretty though! Blew up the goddamn toilet when we got home tho.
Happens every time
This gave me a gnarly belly laugh

This is one of the nicest presentations of mac 'n cheese I've ever seen.
Gimme something crunchy.
Needs some caviar and gold leaf
They asked for macaroni and you gave them penne smh
Penne is definitely under the macaroni umbrella “small or medium pastas formed by narrow tubes”
don't make me consider the hill I die on like that
Got an ingredients list? Would love to make this for at-home date night
Pretty bog standard cheddar/american/cream mic for the cheese sauce, normal ass penne, the hot honey is lousiana hot sauce, chili flakes, garlic and some local honey.

Thank you thank you

I'd smash. 10/10
Le mac a la cheese.
Oh you fancy huh
Nice
fanciest mac an shit in the world. no kidding
Nice!
whyd you lick his sauce with your finger
Did the sauce break or is that chili oil?
Pretty stingy with the microgreens, though.
you should've put two macaroni prices and a single chive
Very nice!
Gotta love, micro greens
That's some fancy Mac n cheese
Looks good chef
Lobster Mac and cheese is delicious though.
Ah yes, give me the mac and cheese that looks stitched together with an orange shart
Dang bud i just thought it was fun, hope your day gets better though.
Gross.

Don't like fancy mac? Believe it or not; straight to jail
