well , it looks like i can put the ole resume back in its file again . last monday(couple days before we got hit with isabel) my boss called me into his office after i had closed and cleaned up the kitchen . i figured i had done something wrong and had a butt chewing coming . instead , to my great surprise and delight , i was promoted and given a nice raise . now granted there are only 4 of us doing the cooking here , but i am now the assistent head cook(my boss still dont like to be called a chef) . my boss said that i had surpassed all his expectations , and that i have a natural food sense . he also said that i am as fast and efficent on the line as he is . i was completely taken by surprise and still find it hard to believe . the other 2 cooks here have been here a good bit longer than myself (one of them over 10 years) and there has never been an assistant head cook here before . i was also told that due to the continuing growth of our food sales over the last couple years , we are going to be expanding the kitchen and the staff . we may even hire actual dishwashers . the boss is expecting to hire 2 or 3 more people (part time to start out) to work as cooks , and i am expected to help in their training . i am also expected to learn how to keep track of food costs and ordering of stock , and various other aspects of the job that i had just recently on this board questioned whether i wanted to get into . the boss wants me to be involved in menu and daily special planning too . i guess i will find out for sure if this is what i want to do or not . though i still have doubts as to my ability i am looking forward to being able to learn more about this buisness .  |
