1 Q. Food cost and -----
2 A. The training grade in the restaurant.
3
4 Q. Training grade?
5 A. Yes, I was responsible for training in the restaurant.
6
7 Q. Of all training the staff?
8 A. Well, I was not personally responsible for all
9 training, but I was responsible for ensuring that the
10 training grade reached a specific level and stayed at that
11 specific level. So I would organise -----
12
13 Q. Of the store as a whole?
14 A. Of the store as a whole, so I would organise training
15 squad meetings and ensure that people were buddied up with
16 the correct people.
17
18 Q. Whenever you were on shift you were generally in charge of
19 that shift in general anyway?
20 A. Not necessarily, no. The Manager of the day shift, for
21 instance, would do a 6.30/4.00 shift. The Manager of the
22 night shift would do a 4.00 close shift. If I was
23 scheduled a shift other than between those times, I would
24 just be a Manager for that day, say, for instance, if
25 I came in and Mike Logan was on a 6.30/4.00, he would
26 actually run the day shift. He would be the shift running
27 Manager.
28
29 Q. When you say 6.30/4.00, what does that mean?
30 A. 6.30 in the morning until 4.00 in the afternoon, so if
31 he was on that particular shift he would be the one
32 responsible for the -- he would be the shift running
33 Manager. He would be responsible for writing the floor
34 plan and assigning jobs to crew. I would just be one of
35 his Managers until 4 o'clock.
36
37 Q. But you would be in charge of the restaurant, in general?
38 You would be the most senior on when you were there?
39 A. I would be the most senior person, but it would not
40 actually be in my responsibilities. I could not be held
41 responsible for the performance reviews which Mike Logan
42 had set himself to write that day because it would be his
43 job as the shift running Manager for that day, for
44 instance, to give out those particular performance reviews
45 or to ensure that specific people were trained on specific
46 areas.
47
48 I would, for instance, be coming in at 11 o'clock in the
49 morning, doing 11.00 until 7.00.
50
51 Q. So, I suppose we could characterise it as the hands on work
52 done in the store in terms of relations with the staff and
53 organising the arrangements that were going on in the
54 operations, in general you were not involved in that or
55 directly responsible for that?
56 A. No. Whenever I was scheduled a 6.30 to 4.00 shift or
57 4.00 to close shift, I would be the shift running Manager,
58 and so I would take responsibility for running the shift.
59 As such, I would produce the lists to give to other
60 managers; I would delegate jobs to other Managers. One
