As a food enthusiast, I am known for my articles detailing various cuisines from the indigenous meals of Indonesia to your neighborhood Providence Restaurant. I have discussed a number of recipes in details and I have even come up with a few of my own.
As a food enthusiast, I am known for my articles detailing various cuisines from the indigenous meals of Indonesia to your neighborhood Providence Restaurant. I have discussed a number of recipes in details and I have even come up with a few of my own. I am a phenomenal cook and an even better person. One thing that dawned on me recently is that throughout all of my writings, I have spent most of the time discussing the perspective of a patron or outsider. I have never had the opportunity to discuss my experiences working at restaurants. As I have mentioned before, I have a unique perspective on the food industry because throughout my life I have been a chef, a waiter, a manager, an owner and of course, a patron. This means that I can understand all sides of a dining experience. I fully understand the importance of making a good first impression on customers by smiling and being polite. On the flip side, I also know how challenging it is to maintain a cheese eating grin at 11pm after a double shift and the customer has just walked in three and a half minutes before closing.
I would like to spend a few minutes discussing some of the great things about working in a restaurant. I would also like to share about some of the less enjoyable aspects of restaurant employment. If you want to work at a restaurant, particularly a Providence Restaurant, you really need to love two things: People and food. I very much fit both of these criteria. I have loved food since I was a wee baby. I was never over indulgent but I can remember appreciating the flavors of mashed apples and carrots when paired with fresh milk. My love of people was not as readily accessible. I was a shy boy until my mid teens. It was at that point that I began to open up and become more sociable. One of the main reasons that I learned to be social was through the restaurant business. My Great Uncles Jones owned a small bar and grill on main street and I started working there on weekends and over the summer to pay for comic books and bubble gum (my other two favorite things at the time).
I was thrilled to be making the money but it soon became clear to me that the other Providence Restaurant servers were making a good deal more than I. I consulted my Great Uncle Jones and he explained that it was because I was shy that I was not getting tips. I made a decision there and then that I would begin to overcome my shyness. It was a bit of a struggle but not long after that initial commitment, I was making more tips than any other server in the restaurant. I found that not only did sociability come naturally to me, but I really enjoyed being around people. It is time for me to call it a night but please stay tuned for my next article in which I will continue discussing my restaurant experience.
