Hello,
We have a bunch of wonderful new people joining our team.
As many of you already know, David is our newest porter. He is doing a terrific job.
Anastasia is going to be our new weekend barista. She will be starting with us this coming week.
Amy is our new production manager. She will be in to Ted & Honey this coming week so we can all meet her.
And lastly, we finally have an executive chef! His name is Scott Morris, he will also be around next week so we can all get a chance to know him.
We also have trained someone to be a cover person when we are in a bind and need a shift covered. Her name is Drew and she works part time as a barista in Manhattan. She will be in tomorrow with Kali and Ian.
Cleanliness has become an issue. We are all slacking off at it. That being said, Billy and I are going to be handing out a bunch of cleaning projects in the next coming weeks. But bottom line, look around, if something is dirty just clean it.
The space behind the register has become very cluttered. We have been using this dead space to put things like empty cardboard boxes, empty containers we use for ice, our personal belongings, etc. Customers can see this space so it is important we keep it clean and tidy. Personal belongings should be stored downstairs in the office. When we are finished with the ice and drink containers just bring them to dish immediately.
Everything in the lowboys must always be labeled. Recently I have been seeing lots of simple syrup and iced D without a label. Not only is this a health code violation but it takes up valuable time when's it's busy and you have to stop and figure out what's inside the quart container.
With all that being said you guys are awesome and I'm happy to be working with you all. 
Thanks,
Danielle
