Loser in the Kitchen

How does Richard still have a job here as a manager? At least they knew better than to promote him when Aaron left as KM. He fouled up ordering for over a year until Russ got here to oversee. I know he is dumb, but geez, learning how to order for over a year and not getting it.........What a joke. Look at him mess up the alley when they finally made him try to run it. He leaves after shift without concern whether the next shift is prepped and proofed.

He lacks any people skills. With no personality, it is all he can do to be around people. Richard is not qualified. Why would a manager of a restaurant not eat where he could visit with and get to know his employees. Richard eats standing up in dry storage. He rarely speaks to front of the house personnel. At one premeal, when asked who the AssKM was, almost no one knew.

I am not sure he knows how to close the restaurant, because he very rarely works nights. They may not trust him to do the paperwork and money. How can he be in touch with how this restaurant runs if he only works mornings. He is counting down the minutes each shift until he can quietly leave.

The cooks do not care for him. In fact, some of them despise him. One thing he does know is how to jerk someone around.

Where did Richard come from? From a failed restaurant, Rio Bravo. We take their dregs and expect what to happen? The fact is, he is on a salary to save hourly labor. He is just another cook, and not even the highest paid one at that.
