Jesus fucking Christ. I can debug across four different servers using three different databases and four languages more easily than what cooks have to do at waffle houze. What Soylent green cracked out motherduckers came up with that insanity?
This must have been developed for people who couldn't read. Obviously just having the waiter's notes should be enough.
No wonder there are so many shootings at Waffle House
If I had to watch that and then be expected to work the same day/week - everyone's order is going to fucked up.
Lol the YouTube comments
"The customer has ordered an omelette! I place my jelly packet in the Defensive Position!"
You may have asked yourself why I made sure to keep the jelly packs vertical when marking the egg breakfast.
No. No I did not.
That's bullshit from last century, right? Nobody orders that way nowadays. I hope.
Was at Waffle House this week, can confirm they still do it this way
With declining education in the US, I suspect that might be getting more common.
It's not unskilled.
what the actual fuck was that? just adopt the order wheel (which existed before waffle house was created), or get a pos/ticketing system already.
I think a lot of people miss the point, and the trainer here actually says it in so many words: it isn't supposed to be efficient, it's supposed to blow the minds of the customers (I.e. "magic").
Similarly, I'm often blown away by waiters that don't write my order down AND get my meal completely correct, the showmanship makes it a funner experience.
WH without this system is just very good drunk people food.
E: I worked at WH for a couple years, watching the cooks in action is just plain impressive. Especially when there's 10+ plates lined up, they're marking more, managing to not burn already cooking food, AND plating orders.
Nearly 24 minutes of instruction, and not a word on when to drop a thrown chair, or how to mark a knuckle sandwich for a customer.
Is it just me or did he never go over what to do if the customer orders waffles...
24 minutes into Waffle House training vid:
Trainee: "Uh boss, what do I do if someone orders waffles?"
Boss: "...FUCK"
And if you're lucky you're able to afford for half a month the meth so you can endure this.
Genuinely, is this real? I can't tell if it's parody.
