BEAT: Work

[Zybomb]

No this would not be possible. The restaurant is a privately owned restaurant that employs a total of 4 kitchen employees (2 line cooks, salad/dessert cook and a dishwasher) 2 bus boys, 5 servers, 1 bartender and 2 hostesses (and myself -- 1 floor manager/banquet manager/ maitre'd)

At one time we have 1-2 servers and 1 bus boy during the week, and 2-4 severs and 2 busboys on weekends, 1 hostess each day and 1 bartender thurs fri sat (i fill in during the rest of the week as needed). All kitchen employees work all 6 days and do I and Nick. Nick is generally in the back cooking (or downstairs on the cpu) and I am supervising the floor.

There is a total of 20 tables in the restaurant, during the week we rarely exceed 10 at one time (during the slowest days we may only have 6 or 7 tables all day), and on the weekends we may or may not go on a wait. Catering parties are the thing that is really keep us alive as we've become a spot for bday parties, bridal and baby showers, communions, confirmations and graduation parties.

With a restaurant this small, unfortunately there is no one to take my place and until we blow up some more and another "me" is needed, time off is difficult. I had a wedding to go to in Ohio in August so a few months prior I had the bartender request the week off from the steakhouse (his other job) and fill in for me -- he has 20+ years of experience in restaurants so he was a good fill in.... but the point is that until another me is required less hours seems unlikely
