OOC info:
Guys, I’m swamped. lol. Running this place solo basically means I am expected to do 1 on 1 rp with several people at once. I do my best to keep things succinct while still ensuring the environment suits the nature of the tavern (ie Greeting people, making the pizzas, pouring the drinks, etc.). Of course, how busy we are varies wildly throughout the night; I may be faced with full tables and a line or have some down time where I busy myself cleaning up the kitchen (this is rare). Last night was the first time I’ve had someone up and leave without ordering. I’m not sure if it was because we had a rush at the time and there were 5 people ahead of them in line or if it was just too spammy for them. While I know that the Pizzeria may not be for everyone, I would hope that people come and have a good time rather than bad.
Things you should know both as a potential employee or as a customer:
- Yes, the chat scroll is real. Having experience dealing with this at other events is helpful because it can be a bit of a shock if you aren’t expecting it. As with any tavern RP, it is helpful and thoughtful to send your order to the staff via /tell. Feel free to post it to /say of course, in keeping with the atmosphere, but I’m gonna need a follow up tell so I don’t miss it.
- As of right now, I’m the only staff of the Pizzeria. I do my best to keep track of who requested what, when, and in what order. Please be patient, even if your character wouldn’t be.
- Customers come up and order at the bar; you pick your order up at the bar when called. I don’t have the time to visit each table individually. (This may change if I can hire some wait staff.)
- We craft and sell pizzas only. I do not have the IC kitchen space (nor interest at this time) to make any other type of food.
- We don’t have a menu. I know this is a big deal for folks, so I will try and pull a nice menu together at some point. If a meat, veggie or fruit (we have a dessert fruit pizza) exists in game, I can slap it on a pizza. I do some handwaving with specific terms like pepperoni (it takes too long to say spiced, cured, sliced buffalo and boar meat) that doesn’t exist in game at this time.
- Our hours are from 6-9 pm EST. I will go til 10 pm since I know a lot of folks are used to the 7-10 pm events and we are still pretty busy after 9. After 10 however, I’m gonna start giving folks the stinkeye and turning off the lights for my own sake. Recently, I’ve had customers til well after midnight. I will start giving 10 minute warnings that we are shifting to npc staff ahead of time.
- If you are interested in helping run the event, please be honest with how long you can work (either in hours per session or in number of weeks). I’m not going to say don’t apply if you can’t commit; I know it can be overwhelming and draining, so it’s perfectly okay if you decide this job isn’t for you. Don’t just… not show up or tell me at 6 pm that you want to do something else.
- As staff, you are more than just an npc! Feel free to rp as your character (clumsiness, IC laziness, burning the food, chatting it up with customers, etc.) and trust me, I will rp back at you. XD Just keep in mind that we want folks to have a good time while there (no trolling, rudeness, or ooc laziness).
- I am also looking for IC suppliers! If you cook, garden, or hell... want to supply napkins or dinnerware, feel free to reach out to me. Like any restaurant, please peddle your wares outside of our busy hours.
I look forward to hearing from you!
