Good Times

Went in at 6:30 as the closer and served 5 tables the whole night before cashing out at 10:17 with $122 in my pocket after tip out.

I must say these days there is an early rush which if you are closing you miss anyway as by 9:00 on weekdays the place is dead. Now with Halloween this weekend which is traditionally dead I am looking forward to some real good evenings the next couple of months. At least I am off Saturday to enjoy it with the kids.

We really cannot complain at all what with the taking care of my younger son's friend during school days and winning a football pool at work , together with the fact my wife has been busy at her work due to the corporate business this month , this appears it is going to be the best month all year income wise and we still have today and tomorrow to go.

Now it looks like we can finally get that washer and dryer we need this coming week we have been saving up for.

A Good Night By Anyone's Standards

Yesterday's post I mentioned that last night was going to be a good night and it certainly was as we reached our budget projection of 550 covers and I dare say with how busy the bar got late that we probably came close to 600.

For me I have to say that is was the best night of the month. There was an air of Christmas approaching with the hustle bustle going on in the kitchen and amongst the wait staff. Everybody in full tempo.

At the end of the night on $1052 net sales on 27 covers I walked out with $180 after tipping out $45. That was a total of $225 in tips so as you can see I fulfilled my duties as a waiter upon people last night. This morning though I feel a bit weary and am looking forward to finishing up tonight and having tomorrow off. Then it is another 5 in a row and off Sunday.

The money is good though.
