Teamwork can make even the most stressful shifts manageable.

In this story, an employee worked at a busy winery restaurant during a packed Mother’s Day weekend.

With the kitchen short-staffed and overwhelmed, the servers had already finished their duties.

Instead of leaving, he stepped in to help, and others followed his lead to support the team.

Mother’s Day Eve Miracle

I work at a winery. It is also a full restaurant.

It is the most unpredictable place I have ever worked.

We are pretty popular. We take reservations.

We may or may not have walk-ins. You never know.

The restaurant was short-staffed.

Yesterday, we were packed. It was Mother’s Day weekend.

We are short-staffed in the kitchen.

The kitchen manager, the one that holds down the fort, just had a baby. She was not there.

They were doing it without her. They did great. But at the end of the night, they were screwed.

This employee went to the kitchen to help out.

We servers were done with everything. The kitchen was nowhere near done.

Not going to lie, I intentionally announced myself, “If we are done, I am going back to help them.”

I went to the back. I asked what needed to be done.

I started with prep work. I moved on to end-of-night cleaning.

There were six other servers. We were done. It was late.

He was so proud of his team.

Four out of six of them showed up in the kitchen. We banged it out.

The kitchen got to leave before midnight. I am just so proud of my team.

I am the annoying one always stressing teamwork.

Watching them come together for something they really did not have to do made me so happy.

Then they all came into work today. They kept the teamwork mentality.

He decided to continue what he’s doing.

Today went so smooth. The kitchen did not crash out either.

It might be partially because of yesterday. We are all in this together.

I say it constantly. I get my eye rolls.
