Fun School Projects

In one of his classes, the kids have been assigned jobs with a salary, a job description etc. They are given a list of expenses and asked to draw up a budget based on their salary. In addition, they are being asked to design a business card for their occupation. My son drew "Professional Server". Ok, this is cool. I know something about this! We're in the process of designing his business card. He's decided to call his company

At Your Service Inc.

He's even done a cool pic of a waiter carrying a domed tray. What we're stuck on is a catchy slogan for the business. Any ideas?

How about "Mr Silver at your service"

At Your Service -- anywhere, anytime, anyhow.

Okay, I admit, I'm not in advertising

What grade is this for?

"You dish it, we serve it."

"They burn it, I sling it."

"Have apron, will travel."

Good. "We wait for you and leave it to us. That's Omakase!"

Sorry, just kidding.

Love it!

That's what he went with. Today is his presentation to his class. They are then having a networking luncheon where they are supposed to stay in character and exchange business cards. He went dressed in black pants, white shirt, white apron and took a cocktail serving tray with him.

To help him get in character, he acted as a server at dinner last night. I taught him how to stack plates up his arm and carry them. ( I can do three or 4 but I only let him do two!), how to serve ladies first, refill water glasses, check discreetly for empty plates and re fold napkins when one leaves the table. It was hilarious, but it was also eye opening for him. I think he'll have a new respect for waiters as we continue his forays into the world of dining.

As part of his presentation he is supposed to identify the transferable skills he has as a result of this position. He chose, a positive attitude, good memory, team player and the ability to handle stress. Good choices I think!
