Hey Everyone!
As 1st Semester comes to a close I wanted to take the time to say thanks to all of our wonderful baristas who have been so flexible and understanding regarding the changes we've made to improve the Brew. We couldn't have done it without you!
Schedule:
The finals week schedule has been emailed out to everyone - please double check when you work. We will not be accepting any subs or shift changes since you were able to pick they hours you wanted to work.
Bravo's:
Quite a few employees have received BRAVO's this month for going above and beyond the call of your everyday barista duties. Just a couple: Peter Ruzicka for doing the dirty work of cleaning behind the dishwasher in the Bayou; Lisa Wells for dealing with a broken key, crazy lines, and location switches all in one day; Isabelle Denton for switching locations without losing her good attitude on short notice. There were definitely more baristas of note - but look how great your co-workers are! Let's all try to step up and follow their wonderful examples.
Hiring and Training:
You might see some new faces in the next few weeks if you are around. We've hired 5 new baristas and are looking to hire about 10 more by the end of break. We'll be having training session this week as well as right before next semester starts. If anyone wants to attend a training session to pick up some instruction on procedures or brush up on their bar skills, the more the merrier! So, if you see someone behind the counter you don't recognize - chance is they're new. Say hello!
Finals:
Good luck everyone! Have a great break and a great holiday season! Keep your eyes open for a 2nd semester schedule arriving in your email inbox sometime in the second week of January. Travel safe and have a fun and peace-filled break!
