Spent almost the entire day in the Kitchen. 1st day after Bryan's retirment. Discussed & assigned 80+ FA Reports, Meeting with SF to brief & obtain his agreement for placemats that are being considered for a new service offering in permium cabin.
I followed a new style of discussing the FA Reports- by sub-categories as it gives a way to draw out trends immediately. For instance, for last 3 days, there have been a trend of reports on flowers & new microwave jugs. It took about an hour to finished Reports for the weekend.
As for the nee product item - placemats, there seems a quite a few challenges/concerns as it does require significant amount of manual processing. Will be able to get more feedback after the forthcoming trials will be completed by towards the end of the month.
One thing that has been troubling my mind for the day was whether we were going to well manage the meal ordering during planned computer program outage in the early afternoon.This feeling was particularly becuase I wasn't very confident and pleased with the level of pre-planning done by my collagues. Anyway, until the time I left work, I hadn't not heard any issues with it. That's said, as it does normally happens in the business, you hear about any issues only after a few days of the event. So, will have to wait & see!
