Safety
This month’s Crew Safety Talk focuses on:

Hot Liquids: Brewed Coffee and Tea
Here are a few additional points;
1) When brewing coffee, always use caution. A burn could easily happen if you are not
focused. The water is between 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit and you or your coworker
could incur a 1st or 2nd degree burn!
2) Please use caution when pouring or using the hot water spouts on the coffee machine or
hot water tower.
3) Lids on the pots must be securely fastened and verify they are in place properly before
pouring. The cups need to be on properly, listen for snap! And line the opening of the lid
up with the bean on the cup so it’s safer to drink.
4) Check to ensure the “BREW” is complete and display light is indicating it is finished before
removing the funnel.
Reminder, your restaurant’s Joint Health and Safety committee, is there to help communicate
and coach employees on being “Safe in the workplace”. Their role is valuable, and we need all
employees to respect and thank them for their contributions.
Our Safety goal is to have “ZERO Injuries”, and that All employees have reviewed and signed
off on the Safety Talks every month!
Thank you 

Guest Recovery

We strive to serve all of our Guests with Fast, Accurate and Friendly
Service with Hot and Fresh Quality in a Clean Restaurant. At times, we
may not always meet our Guests expectations. When this occurs, we
must follow the 4 steps of Guest Recovery (LAST):
1) Listen Attentively: allow the guest to express their concern
2) Apologize: Sincerely apologize (“I am very sorry we did not get your order correct”)
3) Solve the problem (don’t make excuses or question the guest, just do what it takes to fix it) The
minimum we will always do when a Guest has a missing product or item is replace product/item.
The minimum you must always do after resolving a Guest issue is to inform the manager.
Always escalate issues directly to the manager that pertain to: Foreign Objects, Refunds,
Abuse/Rude guests, Injury/ Safety/Security and Media inquiries.
4) Thank the Guest (“Thanks for bringing that to our attention”)
Always look for opportunities to Go for the WOW: where possible when replacing food items, visit
the Guest in the Dining Room and ask how the replaced food item was.

Feel good story……Thanks to those employees who went on the Shopping Bus Trip. As you will recall we did a 50/50
draw and I told you that half the money would go to help a needy family through the Tree of Hope at Family and
Children’s Services in Kingston. Well, on Christmas morning, four young siblings were able to get a Christmas present
under their tree because of you guys. So thanks again…. Mary 
