The head chef, Anna, comes to work at 10 o'clock in the morning. Anna made a new summer menu with many summer fruits arid vegetables. She knows that people do not want heavy meals during hot weather. Anna works all day, often more than 8 hours a day. She plans the menu and manages the staff in the kitchen. She cooks meat dishes and sauces for the main course.
Today is Friday, a very busy day for the restaurant. Anna starts work early at 8 o'clock because she must go to the market to buy fruit and vegetables for the weekend. This is not usually necessary, but the restaurant has recently changed suppliers. Today Anna must buy provisions herself until she finds new good suppliers. She will return to the restaurant at 10 o'clock and will start preparing the evening meals.
On Fridays, Mr. Black, the manager, prepares the accounts for the suppliers and organizes the work for the next week. Mr. Black's first task in the morning is to check the telephone answering machine. He wants to know about the reservations for the next week.
He manages both the dining room staff and the kitchen staff. He also effectively manages the finances of the restaurant.
