Diary Entry Six: New Years

I have been given the task of arranging this years New years eve party at Bunkers Bistro. This is a huge responsibility for me as normally only the owner would arrange such an event.

The task will include me having to devise a menu for the occasion including what price to charge and how many different food courses to offer. As well as this I'm in charge of ordering any of the food I decide to put on the menu and also ordering any champagne or other drinks I will require. Another important task is to insure that I advertise the event both within the restaurant and anywhere else I please, however I have only been given a small budget to do this so will have to be creatful.

I have already began looking through past bunkers menus and have also started to look at other resturants menus in order to recieve some ideas. The main decision I have made is that I have settled on a 5 course menu including champagne and coffee and a price of £45 per head. This may seem expensive but I need to remember that the majority of staff will be working for double pay.

I need to continue researching and coming up with new ideas as I only have until the end of the week at the very latest to produce my respective menu.

Diary Entry 5: Xmas Night Out

Bunkers hit the town on last monday for the annual Christmas night out. This including a chinease and drinks all paid for by our boss Steven, which was very nice of him. The only problem was that some staff had to miss out as somebody was needed to work!

This was sorted by our boss who decided that the newest members of staff would be the ones who would be expected to work. This caused some Controversy betewen employees but was seen as the only available option. Hopefully by next year we would be able to come up with a more popular solution.

To make matters worse our boss also allowed all staff who were part of the Christmas party to have the following day off from work. As I am one of the longest serving employees within the company, I can't complain!!!!
