Tangent here, but fuck you poorfag wagies complaining about being open during the fucking hours you are open. If you want to close a half hour early, tell people you close a half hour early and they won't order food then. You are not on a fucking salary, you cook my goddamn food until you close.

We're OP 24/7 (Christmas is the only exception) so it doesn't really matter. Only is inconvenient when the MOD fails to scale breaks incrementally and then there are 4 people on break and suddenly there is only 2 people on the floor.

Every fast food place I've worked at the managers/owners give you shit for not getting out at a certain time.
So those places usually start shutting down 30 mins. to an hour before the actual close with cleaning and all that bullshit. Coming in RIGHT before close is an asshole move.

Fuck YOU asshole, nobody's working the fryers at your favorite shitty dive bar because they're in it for the love of cooking. Everyone's gotta make ends meet and those guys get it bad enough from their dickhead bosses. Closing in a restaurant fucking blows and if you had a single shred of decency in your body you would be a bit more considerate of the people serving your ungrateful ass.

Yes you want to be somewhere else and do anything else in the world, but you're there. That's a job. Invest in your financial future. Don't work in restaurants forever unless you wanna at least shoot high like an owner/manager/hot shot "celebrity" chef. Even then it will likely still suck. Seriously. Don't work for money. Make money work for you. I know I sound like an asshole, but you don't have to like me, you just have to like the advice.

Yeah, I like to order a large and messy meal before closing time, what of it?
No, I'm not going to show up to the store. I'm not going to pay for it. And even if I came in and actually purchased a meal, you would not get a tip.
Have fun cleaning up your mess, wagie.

They are not closing early. The kitchen closes half hour prior to the restaurant closing so they have time to clean it and leave without overtime.
This also gives diners who have already received their food time to finish up and leave.

Got another job where I clock out when my tasks are complete. Sometimes I get out early, sometimes late. And the work is more fulfilling because I'm not dealing with the general entitled public.

>> No.16189534

if the hours were posted in good faith, it would account for someone ordering 1 minute before closing, and still having time to prepare and serve the food. This would result in hours being "reduced" but they already effectively are because no one wants to cook a meal for someone when they're halfway through closing shop. Maybe its a two-way retardation between owners and customers, if you posted honest hours people who think lesser of you for some retarded reason probably, and owners likely bet on this and have dishonest hours as a result.

I don't work on the line anymore, but I'd schedule meal breaks. Even with a 3h dinner rush, it wasn't usually too hard to get through everyone, and still have half the line shut down by close. If I had to skip my meal to get everyone out by midnight, I skipped my meal - I was a fat fuck back then anyway.

>> No.16189585

>>16189534
I always let my crew know how I feel about the hours of operation. If we're open, there's a chance they might be cooking. If someone squeaks in before close and an order comes in at fifteen after, we're making it. I had FOH let us know when the place was empty and when the doors were locked, but at least half the grill, one oven, and one fryer stayed on until close. On slow nights, stations would get closed early, but tops would get moved to the backup position until we were properly closed, and nobody left early until their shit was locked down as well as could be expected.

That’s more of an issue of poor management. People should stop being seated 45 minutes before close and no more orders 30 minutes before close. There’s variations of this, but essentially that’s what should be done.

>> No.16189639

It took a bit to break some bad habits, but more than a quiet "Fuck, I just cleaned that." doesn't help anything. Use available time to save time, but don't expect to always leave early.

>> No.16189651

>>16189621
Say FOH closes at 10 - no more new seating. The kitchen would then stop taking orders at 10:30, and could honestly expect to consider itself closing at 11 because of missed staff meals. Day/prep shift becomes 9-5, evening becomes 4-12 with overnight cleaning staff or a straggler/swing 8-4 position to clean if necessary/affordable. In bar situations. where the kitchen closes first, expect orders right up to the wire.

I remember me and coworkers fucking with people like you. Always knew they weren’t going to tip because they never do no matter what, were going to be dicks, etc. so we just ignored them for the most part, walked past them to fill other people’s drinks, eventually get around to their order, “forget” the mods they want, eventually bring their food out, take the food back and give it to employees to remake it with mods at the bottom of the food queue, bring it back out eventually. All and all the whole process would take an hour or an hour and a half for them to get their food if they didn’t just walk out after around 45mins. Fun times. They’d always complain to management but nothing ever happened because everyone was doing it and they always had a problem when they came in.
