So I did a lot of thinking during my vacation, but very little of it involved the restaurant. I didn't come up with any new recipes, marketing strategies or ways to combat the dirtbag servers. Instead, I focused on enjoying the rest and relaxation and the two amazing ladies in my life. The problem is that the restaurant just isn't in a position to be fixed. Nothing I can do is going to take it to the next level and, quite honestly, it doesn't deserve it. When the GM spends 90% of a 35-hour workweek sitting at the bar bullshitting with the regulars between smoke breaks (every ten minutes and in front of the restaurant dressed in a chef's jacket no less), then my efforts are an exercise in futility. Now that summer is upon us and business is further in the toilet, I am starting to think that this operation is doomed from a foundational basis. I have been sticking it out because of the sweet schedule and the family time it gives me, but it might be smart to put all that behind me and be the first rat off the ship. Any thoughts?

Your ladies will love you no matter what you do. You are the master of your own destiny. Your level of commitment will rarely be matched by anyone else in the building unless you are working right by their side everyday. The reality is that if the owner and GM aren't into it anymore then what is the point?
I definitely agree and it doesn't help when the rest of the "employees," (if you can even call them that) don't give a fuck either. Maybe if more of the family came in more we can boost the comped food percentage to half? I love the hours as well but this is ridiculous.
