The Hospitality Survival Kit | 38 Pages of Things Management Would Rather You Didn't Read

WELCOME TO HOSPITALITY. WE'RE DELIGHTED YOU'RE HERE.

Your break has been cancelled, Table 14 wants to speak to the manager, Head Office has announced another exciting initiative, and somebody's just asked whether the fish is vegetarian. Excellent. Another perfectly normal shift.

Introducing The Parker Arms Hospitality Survival Kit — 38 gloriously inappropriate pages of hospitality humour, created for the people who smile politely while quietly considering a career in forestry.

WHAT'S INSIDE?

🍷 The Unreasonable Complaint Translator — Discover what customers actually mean when they say, “We've been waiting ages.” (It's been four minutes.)

📋 The Corporate Translator — Finally, a guide to understanding phrases like “We're all one team” and “This is a fantastic opportunity.”

🔺 The Great Hospitality Blame Triangle — Front of House blames the kitchen. The kitchen blames Front of House. Management schedules a meeting. The printer remains innocent.

🎫 Kitchen Pass Tickets — Printable reminders of the absolute nonsense that somehow becomes your responsibility.

🕵️ Official Incident Investigations — Examine twelve hospitality disasters and determine who's responsible. Spoiler: probably you.

🍻 After-Shift Bingo — Because no hospitality gathering is complete without somebody saying they're only staying for one.

🏆 Staff Honours Certificates — Finally, recognition for the achievements that never appear in your annual appraisal.

And plenty more management-approved nonsense, including staffroom translations, impossible shifts, guest qualifications and corporate initiatives nobody asked for.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Chefs. Bartenders. Waiting staff. Supervisors. Managers. Kitchen porters. Anyone who's ever worked a Saturday double, survived a surprise coach party or heard the words “Can you just do me a quick favour?” at 10.58pm.

Perfect for sharing in the staffroom, printing for your team, giving to a hospitality mate or reading after a shift that really should have been investigated by the police.
