Scheduling
If you tell a coworker you can cover their shift, but realize 30 minutes later that you actually had plans that day, who's responsible for finding coverage?
You are! It is a great thing to cover shifts for coworkers and help someone out. However you need to be responsible for checking your own schedule prior to saying you can take this shift. If you realize even 15 minutes later that you actually had plans that day it is now YOUR responsibility to get this shift covered.
What temperature do the fryers need to be set at?
350 F
Should we be on our phones, reading books, knitting, or doing homework?
Unless every single thing is cleaned, prepped, restocked, and organized- NO
You may check your phones for texts/calls, but there is never a need to be on social media or scrolling on your phones there is always something that can be done. See list provided
Should diced tomatoes be filled all the way to the top of the container?
NO! It makes a mess when you go to use the diced containers. Please only fill to the half way point so the lid can open without spilling tomatoes everywhere.
Diced onions and green pepper can be filled to the top because the whole container can be dumped into the pizza bins
If you need a shift covered in advance do you:
Text one or 2 people a day and wait for responses
or
Text everyone who might be able to work for you and inform Jenna ahead of time that you are looking for coverage?
Text EVERYONE! If you truly need coverage whether its a week in advance or 2 hours notice you need to be asking everyone who is able to cover your shift. If you think you will not be able to come in, I need a definite answer. Do not tell me you will come in if you can't find coverage and then not come. I need a phone call if you will not be in for a shift, you CAN NOT just text.
How do you turn the fryers on in the morning and off in the evening?
Turn the fan on first, then one fryer, wait 15 minutes and then turn the other fryer on.
Turn both fryers off at 8:45pm and the fan off in the winter time at 9pm. During the summer, leave the fan on overnight.
Should we bag all the chicken tenders and sides that are in gallon bags ahead of time?
NO! only prep a couple of each side, and chicken tenders. Doing the whole freezer worth increases freezer burn
Can you switch shifts with someone?
YES! This is a great way to maintain your hours and maybe help someone out on a day they were looking for coverage. It isn't necessary to give up a shift if you cover someone else, but if you are looking for coverage and someone is willing to cover with a switch
If the red light bulb lights up, what do you do?
How many big bags of fries does it take to fill a tray?
2
If you never update your availability and have to switch every shift your scheduled, what will Jenna do?
I will most likely speak to you once about the importance of keeping your schedule up to date, and if it continues to happen I will most likely stop scheduling you. This is not a punishment it is simply necessary to keep the carry out fully staffed as it can be difficult and a headache when someone needs off every shift they were scheduled bc they didn't update their availability as needed.
How many chicken tenders can be placed in the same basket?
How many bone in wings can go in one basket?
Bonus points if you know the cook times for both
Chicken Tenders: 10 6.5min cook time
Bone In Wings: 15 5 min cook time
Make sure all food is fully covered in oil, if it is sticking out it WILL NOT cook!
Should we wipe off all surfaces before prep work begins?
If yes, what should you use to wipe down each surface!
Yes & use a clean rag with soapy water!
During summer holidays, and days off school can you volunteer to work?
YES! Days off school please volunteer if you want hours, I typically will give these first come first serve. Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day we will be open if people want to work and want the hours. Again please volunteer if you do not have plans or have a few hours of availability.
Tell me everything you know about combining sides?
French Fries: 3 per basket (4 if needed)
Beer Fries: 2 per basket (3 if needed)
Mixing sides with each other, they must have the same cook time and be easily divided. digging through onion chips and cheese curds will take more time than waiting for a basket to open up.
Should we unplug the saw when cleaning it or just shut if off?
UNPLUG IT!!! The switch could get flipped so quickly on accidently. Its and easy way to avoid an accident.
