Fire Food and Drink Day 1

On my first day at Fire Food and Drink, I was working closely with Turan as a food runner. The beginning of the night was slow, but as the night went on the restaurant was picking up. Before the restaurant opened we organized the plates so they were easier for the people preparing the food, and Turan was teaching me the table numbers and the basics for what to do. I was thankful that the night started off slow so I had time to test out my new skills and not be in a complete rush. There is a specific way that you put down the plates, when and when not to offer pepper, and what and where to put the food tickets. As the night progressed, I learned more by doing and less by watching, but I am still confused by food tickets. You draw a line between the courses, write down the times of when each course is being put in, and you set them on certain parts of the counter. While running food, I saw how people treat their servers and wanted to punch a few of them. Overall, I had fun running food and instead of seeing how it works in the kitchen, I was able to see from the kitchen to the table.
