Pumped.

I am actually so excited about my new job. It is going to be wonderful. The two owners actually know what the fuck they are talking about. When you have worked in a restaurant, you can understand so quickly whether or not someone understand the industry.
The menu looks good and a variety. The drinks look good. They are appealing to a lot of gluten-free and vegetarian people also which is neat.
I really appreciate the owners' understanding about servers though. They are so straight up like, we get it you want to make money but so do we so customer service is paramount. They have won the award for the last 4 years for their other restaurants.
They also believe strongly in treating their staff well. They provide a variety of incentives, including giving you money for finding good staff, doing well on audits, and just being a good employee. They will give you straight cash for doing a good job or they will send you on trips with their miles to wherever you want to go. HOW AWESOME IS THAT. There's a girl right now who's going to maui for 10 days and they paid for her flights.
They also blatantly said no cliques, no being mean to new people, we're a team. And that's what I love to hear. Everything they believe in are things I believe in with regard to the industry.
We also played a game of the price is right so they showed us an item (ex. a diet coke bib, napkins, beer glass, wine glass, ranch dressing, plates, clamato, etc.) and we had to guess how much it was. The closest person without going over got a 10$ gift card to Starbucks or iTunes. It was such a good way to get your staff to think about the waste and to improve their morale.
Anyways they seem pretty down to earth. So I'm really excited.
