Do you remember your first job? I'm sure you do, because that is usually a big deal in someone's life, and usually your first job is when you are of high school age. I remember my first job. I worked for one of the first and only fast food drive-in's in Bozeman, Jack's Drive-In. It was where I learned that being on time is important. That washing your hands after handling cash is an expectation. That you really can keep going when you think you're dead on your feet. That you should never put a metal pie pan in the microwave. Really. Microwaves were relatively new back in the day, we didn't own one, and no one had explained to me that if you put metal in them, it makes lightening in the microwave and pretty much turns them to toast.
Employees at the Coffee Pot Bakery Cafe are often working their first "real"job. We take seriously the training of each person who comes to work for us. We teach them the importance of first, showing up every time that they are scheduled, and of being on time. Of how to cheerfully greet and treat each customer as they would like to be treated. We teach them that sometimes they have to have a "game face" when they are feeling overwhelmed and the dishes are stacked precariously high or the line is out the door. We teach them that although cleanliness isn't actually as essential as godliness, it is really essential for keeping their job. We help them to understand that our customers are the reason they have a job and the only reason the restaurant is even open.
We are blessed with an incredible group of team members and feel that we owe it to them to have good training. We also try to make ours a place where they want to come to work. Oh. And we tell them to never, never put a metal pie pan in the microwave!
