The Day Christmas Almost Came Early

This past week, our one useless hostess was told we would call her if we needed her to come in. Basically, don't come into this establishment anymore. Let me tell you how happy we were to hear this. But what did this girl do to finally push us over the edge? Nothing. It was what she did to customers. We have one top tables, or we have tables where we just seat one person. And this girl was asking these customers why they were such loners. Really? You are going to ask a customer that? Let's rewind. First of all, that's an offensive question to ask someone. Secondly, it is none of our business how customers personal lives are. So if you do become a host, or hostess, please use some common sense.

Here are some restaurants in Topeka that have host and hostesses.

Reasons Why Thanksgiving Isn't Very Giving

Thanksgiving, I had to work. And we were supposed to be supposed to be busy! I work in the mornings now, and only. And let me tell you how busy we were not. People weren't coming in because they were preparing dinners for their families, which is understandable. But the people who were coming in were not tipping any of us any money. And I cannot express to you how important it is to tip your server. On top of that, our hostess wasn't doing her job. And our boss was being very angry with us the whole day. Oh yeah, and I had to be to work at two o'clock the morning of Black Friday. Needless to say, my Thanksgiving wasn't very awesome.

The Weekend I Rocked It Out

This past Thursday, I injured my hand just bad enough I needed stitches. I brought a doctor's note in excusing myself from work. And my boss needed me to come in anyway. With a hand healing from stitches, I was being a hostess. I wrote names down using my left hand, and I was able to seat customers without the use of my right hand. I even picked up a high chair with my right arm and positioned the chair using my feet. What was going through my mind when I did this? Obviously, my bosses needed someone who knows how to do their job. So yes, this was the week I proved myself to my job and my bosses.

And Then I Proved Myself

This past Sunday, two ladies didn't show up to work. So I went from hostessing to waiting tables, I received my first table after 9, so I didn't make as much money. But everyone appreciated my hard work. And for the first time in three months, I stayed at the restaurant until 6:00 p.m. I guess it's true, that I'm a valued member of my job.

Days I Feel Proud

I trained a new girl on how to be a hostess two weeks ago. Let me just tell you, she is my pride and joy. She just started working, and she is able to handle hostessing in a very professional manner. She uses common sense when she is stuck, and she's willing to learn. Her name is Taylor, and she is probably the best hostess I have yet to meet.

So how did Taylor become such an amazing hostess?
First of all, she was taught the first day which tables could seat how many guests.
Second, she was told the wait times for every group of people that would come in.
Third, she learned that it was okay to skip guests over because we didn't have accomidations for them.
Fourth, she learned how to scoout before she learned how to great.
Fifth, she was able to remember to get menu's.

These are the same rules I was taught when I began hostessing, and she is the first hostess who was able to grasp these tips that I have helped train.
