Opening a restaurant!

Hey Blogworld,

It has literally been months since my last post. Well, a lot has changed since then. I have moved on to a new restaurant. Benu in San Francisco. I am a captain here, where Chef Corey Lee is in the process of revolutionizing the way we view fine dining. This has been a process that I started in March, actually right around the time I started this blog, and have been working, along with my fellow Benu people, on opening the restaurant.

Well, we finally had out opening night, August 10th and it was amazing. This blog will change slightly, to reflect the new challenges associated with opening a restaurant, to perhaps explore a new dimension of serving tables. First off, I want to say that opening night for me personally was a challenging experience. We are still getting used to the space and of course, mistakes are bound to happen. I made two my first night, but persevered and had an amazing rest of the week. One of the things that is important to remember, no matter how big/small of the mistake, always push forward and continue to work. Never let getting yelled at stop you from giving the guest an amazing experience.

As I continue to grow at Benu, I will be updating based on nightly situation's as well as exploring the world of the critic. Benu is due to start receiving critiques within a month, so it is definitely an exciting time. Other than that. I will update on Tuesday, with a nightly recap of service, and start a new topic of discussion!

Good night!
