The Labor of Love

                During this week I was reading an introduction of a book called "Kitchen Con", the phase that caught my eyes is "The Labor of Love". On that time I just feel cool about this phase without know the real meaning of this phase until today. Today is a Labor day as everyone know. Most of the people have a day off but the restaurant did not. I began my day at the City Thai restaurant by filling a bucket of ice to get ready for the customers. After that I went to the front house to help my waitress to clean up all the chairs and statues. When every preparations already set into place, I received a phone call for a to-go order. Everything just as calm as a wave. About 2:30 customers start coming in continually to whenever we close. I did not have a break at all. Every waiters work constantly like there is no break. We were working without knowing the time have rapid moved. We greet We seat We take orders We served We check We pack We give a bill We settle We clean And We prepare for the next round~~ That's what we do for the routine. Others might think this is an easy thing to do but believe me it's not easy as you see. It's required a lot of skills to handle this especially when you are still in high school. For today at the City Thai is very busy especially when I'm still new to this profession. Everyone don't even have time to drink just a glass of water. Please think about it for a second…… How is working in the restaurant is called " A Labor of Love" ? ………… Any answer? From my perspective as you can see today is just another holiday that I can just relax at home but I choose to be here at the restaurant even how tired I am. The Culinary Art profession is all up to you and you choose to be here working so many hours because you have passion with this particularly careers. Because I love to take care the customers to feel welcome and relax. Love to surprise the customers with a delicious taste of food. Love to share and exchange experiences with customers but also the workers as well. love to set the same goal as your friends. Love to be rounded with people. And love to create a fantastic environment. We are the LABOR OF LOVE because we willing do anything at any times for our customers.
