New Brunch Menu starting 7/11
4 Working in Harry’s Kitchen on Friday Nights
Would like to put request in Scorecard for any past
entrees members would like to see on next menu (6 weeks)
--F&B Update Jim-
Yumi has been hired as the F&B Manager reporting to
Jim and acting in a Supervisory position. The request
was made to have a write up in the Scorecard introducing
her to the membership.
Harry’s will be losing 8 out of the 10 employees by
August 1st due to college classes starting. Jim placed
an ad on Craig’s list and so far has hired 4 new people.
He holds weekly orientations on Wednesdays.
--Harry’s Update-Specials
Looking at possible ‘Steak Nights’, Rib Nights and
Mexican nights with Margarita machines.
--Beverage Cart Deployment-the request had
been made by the committee for some type of ‘Standard
Operating Procedures’ for the Cart Girls. Jim had
already created this and it will be included as an
attachment. Yumi has prior experience with Beverage Cart
employees and will now oversee and confirm that these
procedures are being adhered to as requested.
Create Awareness of Member Support
-Theme night pricing- Committee had concerns about
pricing of theme nights no longer being as affordable as
when first introduced. Understandably, seafood is a more
expensive venture than pasta. The numbers are looking
very strong for the next Chesapeake Seafood Night. It
was suggested that there might be 2 theme nights with a
less expensive option.
Generate Ideas that Generate Revenue
-TGIFHH-frozen drink machine-the club will first
rent a machine and see how it goes. Suggestion made for
smoothies for the children as well as frozen alcoholic
drinks.
-Outside Dining-Management is working on
getting speakers for the patio so music can be heard
while dining outside. Also, request made for the
Citronella candles to be moved from the top of tables to
another strategic location so they would still be
effective, but would not interfere with enjoying the
food.
Create a Positive, Enjoyable Atmosphere
- Sunset Views-suggestion made that
rockers/Adirondack chairs be purchased and placed in the
front of the club so members can enjoy the beautiful
sunsets.
-Mildew-Concerns about the mildew in the
outside cushions on the patio, the bag drop tent and the
pavilion. Requested these areas be focused on in the
upcoming weeks.
Next Meeting with Kitchen Tour: 3:45-August 12, 2010 |
