My first blog..

So... throughout my life, most jobs I have held were as a server in different restaurants around the San Francisco bay area in California. As a result of this, I have managed to meet a massive amount of people and experience a few different managers that range from mediocre to not bad, but my last job at Los Altos Grill in Los Altos, CA, definitely takes he cake as far as management is concerned.

Ask anybody in the industry about their restaurant managers, and most likely you will hear negative comments about them, but I have finally had a perspective altering experience.

Adam Wright and Eric Alfrest were very competent managers that not only knew how to run a restaurant for maximum profit, but also managed a staff of at least fifty employees who couldn't wait to show up to work the next day. Their friendliness and care for their staff made created a fantastic work atmosphere, responsibilities were distributed accordingly, all problems were dealt with in a manner that made employees feel comfortable talking, taking constructive criticism, and at the same time being supportive and actually THERE when needed.

Their menu knowledge was far beyond any other manager I have come across before, their interactions with staff was always friendly, respectful, and never seemed to be fake.

If school wasn't my priority, I wouldn't have left!
