You might have an opening shift or a closing shift. For an opening shift, mornings are spent helping your prep crew ready the store for lunch service, preparing catering orders, and keeping a close eye on food safety practices and recipe perfection. You gather your team before the doors open, catch them up on the newest Taziki’s updates, and help guests take out orders—getting to know them by name. During the afternoons, you manage shift change, help on the line, prepare PM prep sheets, and look ahead at dinner orders coming in online. If you’re working a PM shift, once you check the state of your team’s stations, you help the team push through busy online ordering hours for Take‑Out dinners while serving Dine‑In guests. As the shift winds down, you use your evening counts and tomorrow’s catering orders to make prep sheets for the AM team, setting them up for another successful day.
