It has been a heck of a crazy couple of months. We have had so many amazing catering events, weddings, the flood, rebuilding the restaurants, and re-launching St Charles Station.
So many businesses post that their employees are family, but at our restaurant it is a true story! Our restaurants are literally made up of a majority of three families!
First, the obvious, the restaurants are named after them. Ollie serves and hosts, Charlie helps me with projects there, Tiffany is our event manager (as well as a Dave manager). Johnny helps keep us young (and old at the same time). My Dad helps with anything tech related and my mom helps with picking the garden and more, and then of course there is me!
In the Front of house my general manager Misha works with her cousin, her brother's girlfriend, and two of her best friends. Her grandmother does the gardening, her dad and one of her brothers helped out with the construction, and help with fix it projects. Her Fiancé and his brother help in the back of house.
In the Back of house I also have my Kitchen Manager Juan, and working with him are his mother, brother, one of his sisters, his uncle and his aunt.
We love all of our staff, but knowing that our team trusts in us to bring their whole friend and family network to come work with us too means the world to me. We do have additional staff that are actually not in any way related to these families, and we want to celebrate them and give them a break as well.
We want our family and all of our staff to be able to go take advantage of this amazing summer with their kids off of school. Normally this is almost impossible, because the restaurant struggles to operate missing any of these family groups, so this year we have decided to close both of the restaurants and our catering for a whole week! It is the only way we can let them all have time together!
Happy 4th of July week everyone! We will be back, rested and ready to serve you again when we resume service on Tuesday 7/9!
