Yes, I checked with them yesterday. They'll be okay for a few days. The thing is, I won't know until I get there how long I'll be there.
No set timeframe. I maybe there just a couple of days or longer. I won’t know until I get there to see how much their cooks know and if they have any candidates for the job. Believe me, I don’t care for the area and would rather not go.Did they say if there is some max time you will be there? I don't know a damned thang about the situation, but might it take a long to get things ship shape there? Don't let'em keep you there longer than you want.
I’m still in Kingsport. It’s a bigger mess than I thought. My first day, I watched and asked questions. I was shocked at how much processed food they are using. I guess one cook didn’t like that I was there and quit that night. Left with one cook, an food order that hadn’t been placed and was late, interviewing applicants for Executive Director, Dietary Director and cooks, fixing errors to pass a State Survey, helping the lone cook and settling her down, questioning the Maintenance man about undone repairs, setting them up with a registered dietitian and new food vendor etc. I can only make it back to the hotel before crashing.

She holding in there. We did have 2 no shows on the interviews. I figured it was just for the unemployment. My boss hired the ED, the DD and two cooks today. After a day that started out overwhelming, it ended on a good note. Just a matter of the time to get them going.As long as the lone cook don't quit , this quitting and laziness seems to be a trend these days
Wow, how did it get so bad??I’m still in Kingsport. It’s a bigger mess than I thought. My first day, I watched and asked questions. I was shocked at how much processed food they are using.

It started before I got here and if I had a guess. It started at management. In the kitchen part, they were taking the easy way out when preparing food. Who in their right mind adds canned cheese to make Mac and cheese? Or cooks pasta past al dente? I asked them why they didn’t make their cheese sauce from scratch, did they know when to pull pasta (especially if it’s going over another heat source) and why cook vegetables at the same amount of time as each other? I got the answer “that’s how we do it”. I did promise the lone cook left, we’re going to bring back the joy in her in cooking. She’s willing to be taught, so there’s a start.Wow, how did it get so bad??
