Friday night is probably the most suitable night to to go out and have fun. Everybody knows that the next day is Saturday, and they don't have to get up early and go to work, or to school or whatever. It is the one night of the week that gives people the most succour in the fact that they can do whatever the hell comes to their mind, because tomorrow will be a holiday,and they will be answerable to no one.
It was this sentiment that sent droves of diners to the restaurant last night. Over a period of just under 2 hours, we had fed close to five hundred people. by the end of the day, we had served over one thousand people.
Now that's not a very big number, one might say. 1000-strong marriage parties are commonplace in India, and many of them go through without a hitch. But these are events that are predicted and prepared for well in advance, with all the food and service essentials already in place before the guests arrive. Now, in a restaurant, it's a little different. Say a 25-seater suddenly descends out of nowhere, and most of them decide to try out the grilled skewers or steaks. Somewhere in the annals of the restaurant, a grill man screams in horror. Suppose there is a four-top, and they're all rather picky, so each guest orders a totally different dish. Time for the assembly man to get busy. It's Crazy...
And yet, I survived.
It is good to know, that you can work with the ones who have been doing this for years, without slowing them down.
P.S- In a related incident, my bicycle was nicked from right outside the restaurant last night.
