Michel Teló – Ai Se Eu Te Pego

CrazyWaiter — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 21:05:44 +0000

Tonight I saw this song of Michel Telo in the iTunes top 10 of the Netherlands. Very strange because we don't listen that much to music other than English or Dutch. But it's a very funny song with a little dance -even performed by soccer players), so a perfect CrazyWaiter-song! And the clip (eg. the public) isn't a big task to watch at 1080px and fullscreen (another performance can be found here). Translation after the clip

Translation

Nossa, nossa

Assim você me mata

Ai, se eu te pego,

Ai, ai, se eu te pego

Wow, wow

You're gonna kill me that way

Ah when I get my hands on you, (poor you)

Delícia, delícia

Assim você me mata

Ai, se eu te pego

Ai, ai, se eu te pego

Delicious, delicious

You're gonna kill me that way

Ah when I get my hands on you, (poor you)

Sábado na balada

A galera começou a dançar

E passou a menina mais linda

Tomei coragem e comecei a falar

Saturday party night

Everyone began to dance

The hottest girl of the place passed me by

So I got the guts up and began to say to her

For the guitarplayers, the chord sequence is pretty easy: B F# Ab E (source)

CrazyWaiters Drinks Calculator

CrazyWaiter — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:07:50 +0000

This weekend the CrazyWaiter spent his time spending assisting a friend who threw a party. Of course I concentrated myself on the food and beverage with serving his guests and friends. When J. asked some weeks ago for help to plan how many drinks he should buy for his party, I made a calculator. I'm happy to share it with you. You enter the values in the yellow and the blue cells, and the list to buy will be visible in the pink cells.

As always with calculatingmodels, the quality of the output depends strongly on the input. If you enter 40 guests during 6 hours, don't be surprised that you can bring back 75% of the stock to the shop when there are only 25 guests during 3 hours. Luckily we could get the money back, but what a pity that we had to spent this money on a parking fine - never felt so stupid BTW, when I entered the right data, the shopping list was very close to what the people had consumed in reality :proud:

The party was nice, but it is over now, so here it is...

How to get more tips… use makeup!

CrazyWaiter — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 18:31:11 +0000

We knew it already but now it's researched another time: waitresses with makeup have more tip than those without makeup.

In this study the effect of cosmetics on tipping behavior and the link between behavior and judgment on the physical attractiveness of waitresses wearing or not wearing cosmetics were tested. A female waitress with or without makeup was instructed to act in her usual way with her patrons. Results showed that the makeup condition was associated with a significant increase in the tipping behavior of male customers. It was also found that the effect of makeup on tipping behavior was mediated by the perception of the physical attractiveness of the waitress, but only when considering male customers.

Read it here
(NB In the earlier research there's a difference in the number of women who tip (or don't) for a waitress with makeup vs no makeup. The CrazyWaiter doesn't have a explanation for that, he emailed the author already for that. Until then: wear make up and give the bill to the men on the table )

What is a customer (or guest)

CrazyWaiter — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 17:21:20 +0000

A very nice quote to put on the wall somewhere in your backstage. And yes, ofcourse you'll change the word customer in guest !

A customer is the most important visitor on our premises.
He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him.
He is not an interruption of our work. He is the purpose of it.
He is not an outsider of our business. He is part of it.
We are not doing him a favour by serving him.
He is doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to do so

Ratatouille

CrazyWaiter — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 22:46:06 +0000

Today I was in Paris for the last time. I have lived near it for more than five years. A film about this city is Ratatouille ! Je l'aime !

In the hilarious new animated-adventure, RATATOUILLE, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the city of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris' most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy's amazing talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef.

Behind the bash

CrazyWaiter — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 01:16:54 +0000

Your CrazyWaiter has a lot of foodsteps in the partycatering. It's cool, you start with nothing (an empty building or garage), you build up a restaurant or partycenter, you do the party, you break down and you end with nothing. Especially when it's on location it's about 25% service, 25% kitchen and 50% organisation.

Behind the Bash is a show hosted by Giada De Laurentiis (@gdelaurentiis) that aired on Food Network.

The show focuses on what it takes to create the (quoted from Food Network's website)"over-the-top, high-rolling parties from glitzy Las Vegas to New York City." In these fragments they are following the catering for the afterparty of the Grammy awards. Giada is invited behind the scenes of a Grammy after party that was several months in the making. In four days, 6,000 guests are set to arrive at the L.A. Convention Center. Things have to be unforgettably elegant and over-the-top gourmet. After the jump also an episode detailing the grand opening gala for the new theatrical production, Phantom — The Las Vegas Spectacular, which opened at The Venetian.

Blondes do it better !

CrazyWaiter — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:56:25 +0000

I don't know if the title is really true, but apparently they get better tips. Today I talked with collegue E. about the fact that blond girls earn more tips than brunettes and boys, and that it was researched. This year it was researched by a student, Melissa Galm, a 27-year-old finance student at Holy Family University:

Throughout March, they reported their tips from each shift. The two blondes consistently earned more than their darker-haired coworkers. Then on April 1, they all were asked to switch their hair color - blondes going dark, brunettes and redheads going blond - and continue to report their daily take.

One of the blondes was removed from the study because she did not report all her tips and was always dying her hair a different color, Galm said.

Eight of the other compliant nine, however, began experiencing hair bias within a week. All the newly blond waitresses received higher tips, averaging a 5 percent increase. The one blonde who turned brunette, however, saw no noticeable drop in earnings.

Also a more scientific research by tipguru Michael Lynn showed this relation:

Moreover, the waitresses’ tips varied with age in a negative, quadratic relationship, increased with breast size, increased with having blond hair, and decreased with body size.

So now you wait what to do... dye your hair or be happy with your blond locks!
