Your January 2025 Mantra

New year, new you? There's nothing quite like that post-holiday reset. Whether you're setting resolutions or resolving just to do your best, January is the month to let go of the old and embrace the new. Your mantra this month is: 

I begin 2025 with harmony in mind, setting intentions that cultivate balance in all areas of my life. January is an opportunity to strengthen connections and create beauty in my surroundings like refreshing our menu board with a Dry January joke. My sense of peace is both my guide and goal.

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.

My strength lies in my unwavering dedication.

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.

Your Bio

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.

With focus and intensity, I allow the lessons of the past to fuel my evolution, stepping confidently into the new year with purpose and resolve (and actually showing up to our make-up holiday party in January).

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.

This January, I walk into 2025 with determination and clarity, honoring the discipline and focus that helped me achieve my goals. While I work toward success, I remind myself to celebrate small victories and enjoy the process. I balance hard work with moments of joy and reflection like the mirror finish on a perfectly wiped-down stainless countertop (it's the little things ❤️).

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.
