Tap House

pretty normal Tuesday outside of the original 20 turned 16 top we had on the terrace. the group of ladies celebrated Mrs. Mills birthday . they had passed French 75s, wine with lunch and prosecco with cake. Dr Trotter and 9 of his staff had lunch in the founders with Sarah. Bunny and Bowden 6 top had lunch in the dining room. Mrs Blaney and Ashmore had spiked hot coco before lunch. we sold 1 special today

very busy Brunch. we had two dra call outs totaling 4 dras 2 food runners and 6 servers on staff . we managed but servers were double sat and management jumped in. also we had to help behind the bar to get drink tickets out . The Simkins family dined in the main dining room. Mrs. Douglass, son and grand daughter sat in the bar. The founders room went well. Sarah was their server. The Eaves dined with the Lees. The patio was filled and flipped due to the gorgeous weather,

We need to figure out a better system for these homecoming groups. Every time we have one, the numbers are never correct, and the parent who is trying to coordinate all the different reservations and parties usually has no clue how many people they actually have. It's not fair to them for their tables to not be ready and for me to be standing there like a deer in headlights trying to figure out where were going to make 25 more people fit. The original reservations were Welsh-12p, Rhodes- 8p, Godwin- 14, Hargrove- 10p and Gladd 18. All the tables were pushed together and ready to go. Mrs. Welsh comes in and the hostess showed her to Welsh 12 top. She now says that they have 22 people. GREAT. Then she goes on to say that the Rhodes party should be for 18 people. GREAT. We finally figure out that the Hargrove party of 10 is how Mrs. Welsh was getting 22 people. We got all the changes made as quickly as we could, but now were all scrambling back and forth trying to figure out what is what and how many we need where. All while still having regular service go on and we were pretty busy for a Saturday. I just think everyone would be better off having a buffet set up for them away from the regular service of the restaurant. All of those hoco parties together accounted for about 68 of our covers tonight. We did the best we could with the hand we were dealt.

Pretty standard Friday night around here. We had our usuals: the Abbott's group, Mcdaniels and Baileys, the Rhodes, Mrs. Boardman and Mrs. Weidner. We had the fireplace set and ready to go. Fireplace on, TV uncovered, menus and water out ready for the Miller fireplace group. It gets to about 7:30, and Shawn comes to find me because a member from Founders room had walked into the kitchen to ask why they had not received service. They did not speak to Joe, myself, or any of the hostesses about changing their location to Founders room. They also went from a 12 top to a 16 top. We got everything switched around as quick as we could. No other issues to report.

lunch ran smoothly again today with a full staff. the patio was full. Mrs. Blaney called ahead and said they 6-8 players coming down after tennis. they turned into an 11 top . usual rounds of wine and cocktails . Mr. Fairey had some guests in town to play golf and they dined at table 1. Dr. Jeffcoat and Gf had lunch on the patio, i made sure to check on them frequently. Mrs. Teston later joined Mrs. Sherman and her daughter. Lionel Prather and son also had a quick lunch

Tonight went great! Jeff’s birthday turned out great served by Shawn they had a great dinner and ended with some milkshakes and sledge hammers! Overall no issues tonight good start to my week!
