My Crazy Job


Well, the craziness is almost over. For the past couple of months, it's been insane at work. The Daily Grill is located right in the heart of the shopping area in San Francisco. We are right across from Union Square and across the street from Macy's. Not to mention, all of the little shops located all around us. It started with prepping up for a huge Thanksgiving, feeding 950 people all day not including the bar area which we can't count(all numbers will not include the bar). Then the day after was Black Friday which led to feeding another 1163 people. We continued to stay pretty busy the couple of weeks following with people out doing last minute Christmas shopping, not to mention all of the tourist as well.

Then came prepping up for Christmas and feeding 973 people on Christmas Eve and 1161 people on Christmas. No down time after that however, with New Years right on it's heals. We continued prepping and feed 1165 people on New Years Eve and 963 people on New Years day. Now, we have the last push- JP Morgan. They pretty much buy out the entire hotel and set up meetings, making billion dollar deals over lunch!! They are here for the next 4 days and each day we are making fruit platters, muffin and croissant platters, and sandwich platters for 300-400 people all of which have a specific time frame. I'm in at 5:30am for the next several days and will become a great sandwich maker!! :P Then, and only then, will we have a chance to breath.
