Its after the holidays and everything is slowing down. The restaurant industry slows to a crawl. This dosn't mean we don't have to work as hard. In fact being in a management position we have to work harder.
Now we have to cut labor and run with a skeleton crew so if we get busy we get screwed in a sense. This means we have to run around and make the restaurant run with the least amount of staff as possible.
If tables don't get cleaned quick enough I have to clean tables. If the food isn't getting cooked fast enough I have to cook and if tables aren't getting waited on fast enough I have to assist the servers.
Everyone has to work a little bit harder when we get busy due to labor cuts but the busy periods only last a couple hours this time of year and we mostly remain slow.

The slowest time of the year

I had not thought about the post holiday issues. You normally think of that happening to retailers because the seasonal hiring is more noticeable for them.
I'm a small business owner that sales an online employee scheduling software. I'm looking for a few managers to give it a test drive and provide feedback on how it works. In exchange I'd give away 6 months of free service.
If you are interested you can email me at chris@webworkschedules.com or visit my site at www.webworkschedules.com. I hope you will take me up on the offer.
Thanks,
Chris Exline
Don't I know it! I used to be a waitress in a resort area and found myself out of work at the end of every season.

This is the first time I comment on your site, but I've been reading your posts for about a moth. I admire the passion with which you tell your stories and dream that someday I can do the same. Love
I can definitely understand your frustrations. I worked at a University Bookstore for a while and we had the same problem....no one cares if we exist as long as they have their books. I appreciate what you were saying about being in a management position. I'm using some distance learning software so that I can become a regional manager for my company. It's hard work and it will only get harder, but it's good to know that there are some rewards! Thanks!
Im impressed. I dont think Ive met anyone who knows as much about this subject as you do. Youre truly well informed and very intelligent. You wrote something that people could understand and made the subject intriguing for everyone. Really, great blog youve got here.
Hi! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your post; this posting has evoked the most response.
I concur with your details, wonderful post.

Thank you for the blog post. Brown and I are saving for just a new publication on this matter and your writing has made people like us to save all of our money. Your thinking really clarified all our questions. In fact, more than what we had recognized prior to when we came upon your amazing blog. My spouse and i no longer have doubts along with a troubled mind because you have really attended to each of our needs here. Thanks
