Back To the Beginning
Work in Restaurant

"I didn't think you guys were really going to work here" said Eva, the waitress who served us before.

After we volunteered to work here, the owner of this restaurant inevitably had to accept us in order to win the confusing situation earlier. They did not expect that the customers who would come would be as enslaved as before. They even have to buy and fill the food supply to meet the demand.

"Yes, thankfully. Because of this we can get a job to do" said I, who was sitting at the cashier's desk, getting ready to receive payment.

"That's right! It's like a miracle. We've never received this many customers before."

"Well, maybe it's our destiny to work here" I said.

"But isn't this weird? Where did these people come from and keep coming?" asked Eva while sitting by the table to rest and fan her overheated self.

"I don't know. I'm curious about that, too" I replied.

"Didn't you see the paper today?" In the middle of the conversation came a voice from beside Eva. That voice belongs to Jack, the owner of this restaurant.

"No. Why do I see the newspaper? There's just boring stuff in there" said Eva.

Jack walked up to us and placed the Phoenix newspaper on the table between me and Eva so we could see clearly.

"This place goes into the paper" Jack explained.

"Hey?! How could that be?!" said Eva picked up the newspaper and read it carefully.

"I don't know" replied Jack briefly.

"Aren't you the one who put it in?" I said accuse Jack.

"Are you crazy? I wouldn't be able to promote this place in that famous newspaper. Our funds aren't enough for that, and probably never will be enough."

"Then who?"

"From discussing that, isn't this a blessing to us? That's why our customers become so many." From the direction of the kitchen came a new voice that enlivened the chatter. The voice belonged to Nick, the man in charge of the kitchen.

From behind him comes another girl wearing a chef outfit, she is Elli.

"Hello new boy! how's your condition going so far?" he said with him the spirit leads me.

"You're getting more and more like Eva, Elli. Honour a little bit, he's our new partner and he's older than you, too" Jack said.

"You're too stiff Jack," Eva replies in defense of Elli.

"You're spoiling him too much" Jack replied.

"It's okay! ... I really enjoyed it" I replied in reply to a question from Elli.

"Good! Shall we play? how's it?" then Elli asked me to play with him.

"Rather than thinking about playing, let's go back to the kitchen. We still have a lot of business there!" nick pulls Elli's hand into the kitchen.

"See you, new boy!" he said while waving his hand.

I replied by waving my hand as well.

"Huh.. that kid..."

"Isn't that better? than at that time?" eva said to Jack.

"But this is overkill. I don't know what you taught him."

Eva answered by shrugging both of her shoulders.

"Jack, Eva! My part's done."

"Oh, Foys. Nice work! Eva there replace the Foys!" jack tells Eva to go back to work.

"Heeeehhh? I just got a break!"

"Don't complain too much! many people want to be served."

"alright. Let's get back to work!" said Eva standing up from her seat and stretching her body.

Alternating with Eva, Foys sat in her place in Eva's previous seat.

"What is true?! they don't stop coming!" said Foys tiredly dropping himself on the table.

"But with this we reap a lot of profit," said Jack gave the positive side of the current condition.

"Indeed, but this is overkill... By the way how's the condition of our ingredients?"

"Hmm, if you look around, we can still hold out for a few more tables."

"some? It will be over in half an hour! has anyone bought any more?"

"Just calm down, already. They left a few minutes ago. They're our new partners."

"Those who bought it? Are they reliable?"

"Just calm down, they are reliable. They've been doing it over and over again since morning."

"... Hope so. Yeah, God! why is it so long today." said Foys helplessly lying on the table.

Indeed, the current conditions were really very busy. I didn't expect that just promoting this place would have such a big impact. At first I thought it wouldn't be this big. We're even short of tables.

"Mr Jack! we're back!" someone said through the side door of the restaurant. There was Noland, and Chloe who was holding a lot of groceries.

Noland carried a bag of vegetables, fruits and meat in both hands. While Chloe is hugging a lot of Celery vegetables.

"Good!"

Noland and Chloe walked slowly to the kitchen room to hand over their groceries and then came back here.

Exhausted Chloe walked up to the chair and tried to ride it, she worked really hard. He may not actually be working and relaxing here. But he chose that.

"Look at those people, many are still not served... Foys get back to work!" jack told Foys.

"That's right! my sweat is not dry yet."

"But we need you to serve them, or else they're leaving, Foys."

"Me! Me! I want to try being a waiter!" noland was excited.

"Did? didn't you just arrive? you're not exhausted? and have you ever been a waiter before?"

"I'm not tired yet, Mr. Jack. And for the service business I've done it often. So, just leave it to me."

"Hm... I don't have a problem with that. After all this is an easy thing, just take the order and bring it here. The rest is just acting polite," Jack said in support of Noland's actions. "Alright, do your best" he continued by handing the menu list to Noland.

"All right, I'm leaving!" Noland walked over to the table that looked unreserved.

"It's not as easy as it says... I doubt he can withstand that much pressure?"

"Leave it, that's what it wants anyway."

"Hhh, stop. I want to enjoy my rest."

"What about there, Arthur? How's our financial situation?" ask Jack to me.

"Very amazing, Mr. Jack. Of our opinions and expenses... We're getting a lot of benefits" I said by showing off the financial statements to Jack.

"Geez, I've never seen a profit this big in my career!" jack said with a look at the report in hand.

"... And Arthur, this report is very neat and structured. Where'd you learn that?" tanyanya.

"Maybe from experience" I answered briefly.

Seconds by second continued to walk by the unrelenting hustle of the restaurant, giving us a lot of advantages, but instead, we were exhausted half to death. In the end, the sky turned red and slowly became darker. People who visit are increasingly reduced, so with this condition, the conditions are suitable to end the struggle today.

"We're Closed!" jack exclaimed after the last customer left and turned the status of the restaurant into 'Close'.

"""FINALLY!!!""" Excited the entire person in the room who looked extremely exhausted and was resting.

"Good work, everybody!" jack said with a clap.

Appreciating everyone's effort, I clapped my hands so that everyone would be interested in clapping their hands. The sound of applause rang out for a while as it filled the room as a reward for their hard work.

"Although we are exhausted desperately, but it paid off with our fantastic profits today. This is a RECORD!" Jack showed off my report in front of everyone to tell us about our profits today.

"Crazy! What are these numbers!!?" said Eva was surprised to see the numbers listed there.

"Maybe, I'll be rich with this."

"Haha! that's still not how much! tomorrow! it will definitely happen again, and we should reap more profits than that!" jack cheered.

"What is true?! Ugghh, I just imagine it's not strong."

"But this is the reality, this place is not where we were before. This place is different. Every day from today, we will definitely get as many customers as before, and fatigue half-dead made. But we have to get used to it!"

"Already! So, are we going to celebrate now? We're partying!" nick said excitedly.

"Too fast to celebrate, it is better to rest well first, and if our profits remain stable or increase. Let's party!" answer Jack.

"I agree with that, I can't party with my current condition."

"Hhh... All right, let's take a break."

I looked at Noland and Chloe to hint to return. They respond with a nod of the head. They also seem to be very tired there. We stood up from our seats and approached Jack.

"Mr Jack, we're going home. Today is so fun."

"Yes! You guys are working really well! Rest in peace and fight together again tomorrow!" answer Jack.

"Okay, Mr. Jack. See you tomorrow" said we were getting ready to leave the restaurant.

Towards the exit we turned around to see the condition of the restaurant that had been crowded was not because. This time we could only see 5 people here, among us. Jack, Eva, Nick, Elli, Foys are continuing to talk. They seem to want a longer veranda in this restaurant.

In contrast to my thoughts, Noland asked them marketing.

"Emmm... Why don't you guys go home yet?" noland asked towards those who were conversing.

"Hm? home? ...Have we not told them yet?" foys.

"Huh? Jack?! you didn't tell them?" ask Eva to Jack.

"Is that important?" answer Jack.

"Did? what's up?" noland was curious.

"Alright, let me tell you ...Noland, we're not going home, because we're home" Eva explained to us.

"What kind of explanation is that?" foys mocked how to explain Eva.

"Huh... We're five brothers, this is where we live" Jack added.
