What’s the normal head count per server?
Let me preface we’re understaffed and been for some time during slower season.
Now, that things are picking up, it’s been crazy.
So it’s me and another server. Rn, we do the job of a host, taking online orders, run out food and buss tables and etc. It’s a pretty popular restaurant and on our busy nights we do close 100 head counts.
So, now. I have been picking up slack cus my coworker is a dumb ahh. But then, I was like f this bc now the guest experience is suffering and the reputation of the restaurant is suffering.
Basically, my coworker over sits my section so every night I do 10-20 more heads than him.
Today, I said. That’s ur table because I have 10 more heads than you and I’m at my capacity. This dumb ahh made a face and said so, what does that gotta do with me?
You get the gist. He’s slowww. So, what’s the usual cover for one server and how do I approach this without brining the owner into this, yet.
