about to start a job as a cook/pizza maker at a local mom and pop's pizzeria. i've never worked at one before and i'm kind of nervous. does /ck/ have any advice for me?

Nope, nobody here knows how to cook shit. Just talk about fast food and whine about niggers. Don't think a single person here has cooked anything that didn't have a microwave time under 5 mins.

I'm a full time line cook and eat fast food almost every day, and usually post about it.

they will most likely drone you on how to cook the pizza
it will make u look like a good worker if u take notes so u dont have to ask questions if you forget how something is done
if u do forget, ask before u ruin the dish

Unless you lied on your resume/interview they'll be aware that you have no experience and train you. Just don't expect to have your hand held and be prepared to work right off the bat; don't stand around like a deer in the headlights.

This >>11557250 is also decent advice. When you've been doing something for awhile it becomes second nature and it's annoying to have to show someone what to do more than once.

i've been watching lots of videos on how to stretch dough, and it seems like there are dozens of different techniques. do you have any tips on how to make sure you don't fuck up the dough?

Ok. Long Island here. So you're in the middle of nowhere. So don't worry, the expectations are low. The pizza is shit up there.

If you were in the NYC metro area, I'd tell you to absorb everything you know and think about opening your own place one day. But anywhere outside of NYC metro, eh. Just do what they tell you.

i'd like to make it to the nyc area sometime and try their pizza. is it that much better than upstate?

>> No.11557479

Yes.

And yes, save up your money, get down here, spend the night in one of the boro's, and visit different NYC pizza places, then go back home. It will change your life.

The owner will want you to cuck him. Beware because WHEN you do he'll shove his thumb in your but mid stroke.

Put in an honest effort, don't be afraid to ask questions or admit you don't know how to do something. Like bosses from other careers, his/her way is the only correct way, unless you can prove otherwise (more than one way to skin a cat etc.)

If you prove to be capable at not screwing up a damn pizza, just be wary if the owners take advantage of your assistance: untimely paycheck, unreasonable hours, cross city delivery and the like. Mom and Pop restaurants pride themselves on the reputation alone. Wash/rinse your hands at any given opportunity. Plan your day, and you probably don't need to be smoking that many cigarettes, good luck anon

Always keep it organized. When you're done with something put it away. When feeling rushed, just remember one ticket at a time. When you rush you make mistakes and end up spending more time on the dish. Your down time is your up time.

Portion control will make your boss love you.
Always greet customers ASAP, and have a warm welcome even if they are degenerate drunks looking for a slice.
Always give the best deal. Pizza places are about turn over, repeat customers and high volume, don't be like Pajeet pizza hut franchise owner where there's a promotion and the customer doesn't know so you charge full price, let the customer know you gave them a deal, they will be repeat.
Just be friendly with customers, don't be a deadbeat and just hand people their pizza.

And finally, clean, and organize the way the owner wants, if they are filthy and don't clean, don't go along with it. Just have good work ethic.

Oh and, the customer is always right, unless it's an immediate monetary dispute like they can't pay.
