The Charmer

Your February 2025 Mantra

The month of love is here! Whether you're diving into romance with someone special or just diving into the weeds in a sea of two-tops this February 14th, now is when we're reminded that love comes in all shapes and forms. Your mantra this month is: 

I embrace February with balance in mind, cultivating equilibrium between self-love and love for others. This month is an opportunity to solidify my connections and create beauty for others even when their creme brulée proposal plans go awry (who knew you shouldn't blow torch a diamond ring?). A sense of peace and harmony is both my guide and goal in this romantic month.

Your Bio

You are the king or queen of front of house. You're a hit with the regulars and know just how to make everyone feel special. You're also very good at making it seem like you have it all together, but won't let anyone see what the inside of your car looks like. You're the first person your GM sends to an unhappy guest to make things better. Other famous Charmers include Bon Appetit's Brad Leone, Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec, and Joey Tribbiani from Friends.

Your Bio

You are always coming up with new ideas, and don't like the "old" way of doing things. You're like Fernet, either people love you or they pretend to. You enjoy mixing things up and may or may not have unironically owned a Fedora at one point (it was the 2010s ok!?). Other famous Creatives include Phoebe Buffay from Friends and Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter.

Your Bio

You can really work in any position front or back of house, but feel most at home on or near expo. You are high energy and can sometimes be aggressive (or just aggressively positive). You've expressed your fair share of "WOO!"s and "LET'S GOOOOO"s. You love the rush and are usually down to go out for a nightcap after closing. Other famous Pushers include Gordon Ramsey and Matty Matheson.

Your Bio

You are calm, stable, and dependable. You always get your work done and don't make waves unless someone else doesn't put in their fair share. You may or may not be approaching burnout, but admitting it would be a sign of weakness. The random kitchen object that best represents your personality is a trusty (but a lil' crusty) frying pan. Other famous Workhorses include Sydney from The Bear and Peggy Olson from Mad Men.

Your Bio

You don't have to be a woman, but like a mother, you are caring and loving and also know alllll the tea. You're the go-to person when a coworker needs life advice or a shoulder to cry on. Other Moms include Sugar from The Bear and Lorelai from Gilmore Girls.

In the heart of 2025, I radiate love and generosity, letting my vibrant energy foster a romantic, loving atmosphere.

Just like a flickering candle on a Valentine's Day table, I aim to be a source of warmth and positivity for those around me.

Your Bio

You run the show and are likely a GM or other manager. You're often stressed out but still able to pull through and get shit done. You sometimes have outbursts but anger it's not your primary emotion. You are friendly, but probably not besties with most of the staff.

A whetstone

This February, I transform into a vessel of love, shedding anything that hinders my capacity to love and to be loved (even when it's uncomfy). With focus and intensity, I allow my past experiences to enrich my relationships, stepping confidently into the month of love with passion and dedication knowing big displays of affection aren't the only way to share my gratitude with others.

Your Bio

You are a mystery to us all (and even yourself). You show up and don't talk much but when you do say something it's typically quite profound. You're not usually managing anything and are ok with going with the flow. Although quiet, you would be missed if you weren't there. You can be slightly aloof but in a likable way. Other famous Quiet Mysteries include Hyde from That 70's Show (not an endorsement of Danny Masterson), Mama Coco from Coco, and Stanley from The Office.

In February, I approach love with determination and clarity, cherishing the commitment and focus that helps me maintain my relationships. While I strive to express my love and emotions in a healthy way, I'm reminded that even when I'm in the weeds, I can celebrate small moments of joy with my team (like when our guest's surprise proposal goes off without a hitch!).

Your Bio

Some may describe you as anal or having an "it's just business" approach, but really you just enjoy the challenge of working in a restaurant (and you really like to be the best at it). If you worked in a traditional corporate setting, you'd probably be in trouble with HR because of the less-than-delicate way you handle others' mistakes. At your core though you take pride in what you do and think others should too. You might be a sommelier or executive chef. Other famous Perfectionists include Sherlock Holmes (the Benedict Cumberbatch version), Miranda Priestly from Devil Wears Prada, and Ralph Fiennes in The Menu.
