SHAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, wow, wow... First day of work at Xin Wang Cafe was already so happening. I just wonder how things would turn out for the rest of the week:/


Today i was taught the respective table numbers and also serving of dishes to the customers. On gauging my work performance today, as a first timer it's not bad already lah. 万事起头难嘛。。 I think i deserve every single cent of my pay man. Lunch and PARTICULARLY dinner time were plain crazy. I had to keep serving my customers during the busy period without any break. Sometimes i had to carry 2 dishes on one tray on my left hand and one big bowl on my right hand. Not easy i must say. I have understood the difficulty of working in the F&B industry. One must please the customer and at the same time not put a foot wrong. I really salute those who has worked before in this field! In the afternoon, the 老总(big boss) of Xin Wang came to our outlet and had a thorough inspection of the place. I heard from my manager that he was the one who accepted my email job application and gave me the job. One of my fellow colleagues even joked that he came down to see me -_-!!! Especially since he has not come down to this outlet for a long while. Everyone single person from the manger to the supervisor to the chef and service staff were so tense up and had to put up a 'good show' for him to see. Hahaha..i also tried hard to find things to do like arranging the chairs and menus. From what i know, he was very stringent and serious with the quality of service and food served. Maybe that is why this particular Xin Wang outlet is one of the busiest around.


My manager has been a great help in making me adapt to the working environment and has also been constantly asking me whether i was able to cope. Not forgetting my supervisors who at first i thought they were 'bo chap' about the service staff. As the day went by, they were able to teach me the proper way of serving dishes. I must say my fellow service staff colleagues are quite friendly and offered their help whenever they could:)


I have brought home the menu of Xin Wang and i am expected to memorise the number codes respective to the dishes. I hope i can master them in soon in due time. I know it's not gonna be easy but i am gonna persevere on:D
