Everybody’s job in a pizzeria is multi-faceted. Multiple players must be able to work together across stations and disciplines through the course of the shift. Currently, Alvo’s setup consists of six total areas: Pizza Making, Oven Tending, Preparation, Expediting, Cashier, and Dishwashing. A Counter Person handles the following three (3) areas:
- Cashier - handles money and customer service
- Expo - handles slices, salads, and takeout
- Dishwasher - handles restaurant cleanliness, dishwashing, and stocking
A successful shift as a Counter Person is to handle the Three T’s to the best of your ability:
- Transactions
- All money and transactions (i.e. discounts, charges, and tips) must be accounted for accurately during your shift.
- Customers are treated with expert friendliness.
- Team
- Preparing the restaurant for service supports the team.
- Communicating about everything keeps the team on the same page. Keep your eyes on tickets.
- To Expo an Order means to ensure all moving parts are in place so that each customer has an excellent experience. This means a fresh product, on time, totally intact, at the advertised price, accompanied by expert friendliness.
- Tables, Trinkets, Trash, and Trays
- Ensure dishes are cleaned as the night goes on and put away properly.
- Monitor dining area and maintain overall cleanliness and organization (such as stocking napkins, shakers, straws, wiping tables, etc.)
- Removing trash as necessary and cleaning spills are part of the job.
