Is it just me or are things slow during that month? What are you all doing to keep your sanity? I guess I'll just get back to do some inventory.

does anyone know a streamlined shift planning tool that I can use for free/cheap so that I don't waste all my time with this?

Real talk for restaurant people: staffing, service chaos, margins, and everything in between.

About

Welcome to /restaurants.

A community for people who live the restaurant life: owners, chefs, servers, bartenders, managers, kitchen crew, and regulars who actually get it.

Talk menus, staffing, scheduling, service chaos, prep, suppliers, margins, customer stories, and what it really takes to run a place (or survive a Saturday night).

Share wins, ask for help, swap tips, and vent responsibly.

Community Guidelines

This community is for people in and around restaurants to share experiences, ask questions, and discuss the reality of the industry.

No self-promotion

No promoting products, services, apps, agencies, newsletters, or consulting
No posts meant to drive traffic, leads, or sales
No unsolicited DMs
If you are affiliated with something, disclose it and only mention it when clearly relevant. Marketing-style posts will be removed.

Share experiences, not pitches
We welcome personal stories, honest questions, lessons learned, and practical advice.
We do not allow promotional content or disguised ads. If it sounds like LinkedIn, it probably does not belong here.

Be respectful
No harassment, shaming, or personal attacks.

Protect privacy
Do not post identifying details about customers, coworkers, or workplaces. Avoid naming-and-shaming.

Stay on topic
Operations, staffing, scheduling, kitchen/service workflow, suppliers, margins, and guest situations.

Moderation exists to keep the community useful and trustworthy.
