It was Sunday night, and we were exhausted but happy to enjoy our Monday off. It had only been a month since we started serving at Mohim, and we already found ourselves dealing with a ton of problems — a classic in the restaurant business.
Midweek, we had hosted a french gathering and we barely had time to recover. But just as we turned off the lights, we got a call from H., a customer we had served earlier that week, who wanted to book the entire restaurant to celebrate his grandfather’s birthday on our day off.
Despite having no energy left at that time, refusing was out of the question. After just a few hours of sleep, we got back to the kitchen to prepare for the evening event. To make things even more challenging, not only was our staff unavailable, but we also realized that the inverter wasn’t charged. So we ended up finishing the preparations by candlelight —attack of the apes and notorious power cuts at that time.
Our young brothers and sisters reading us must understand that you can achieve many things, you can change the course of time and challenge social determination with your simple will (and a bit of luck as well…).
By the end of the service, from a quiet corner of the room, we watched the faces of satisfied guests, the smiles of a united family teasing each other over mint tea. So many moments of joy that wiped away all the fatigue of the past month.
Thank you, H., it was an honor to hist this special event at Mohim and many thanks to our friends who joined to help on that unforgettable day !
