The Three

HIRING FOR SEPTEMBER 🍎🍂🥗🌽🥬🍐🧅🍠

plus some fun facts about hiring & employment at the three:
🤯 in 5 years, the three has hired 22 employees ranging in age, genders, background & experience
🤯 the most we’ve ever had at one time is 6 (between our meal prep & the cafe)
🤯 we hired the first part time cafe employee 6 months in at 10 hours a week & now we are up to 65 paid hours among 4 employees (not including myself in either)
🫶 Allison & I work together on hiring. We has different experiences than me and her perspectives are soooo valuable.
🫶 I’m really proud of and grateful for the team we currently have. We are a grounded, positive, value-driven & hard-working bunch, sharing the responsibilities of dishwashing to prep to customer service to assembly ♥️♥️♥️
🫶 Leadership, management and communication is challenging especially among the fast-paced daily operations of a food business. It is a work in progress, always.

If you think you’d be a fit with our team, this business & the schedule, email Allison ([email protected]) with your resume & availability 👀

“a little business, a little personal” is a very time consuming segment I add to emails unpredictably and inconsistently 🙃

It’s a simple play on words with “small business,” and it’s where I share about me, or the behind the scenes of work, or most commonly, the intersection of the two.

please note: our holistic meal prep will continue as normal on Monday with deliveries between 5:30-7:30pm 🚘

ANSWERS:
broke my thumb (playing hockey)
doesn’t hurt as much as this giant cast suggests
it’s not my dominant hand
TBD on the timeline
no change to the three as you know it

It’s not great, but it’ll all be good. I’m sure there are some sneaky lessons to be learned 🙃

Lastly, a moment of gratitude for the opposable thumb 👍🏻👌🏼🙏🏼
