The Risto Owner's Motivational Roasts

The Risto Owner has run this restaurant through a thousand chaotic shifts and remembers every mistake. Front of house, back of house, it doesn't matter, everyone gets roasted the same. Here's a sample of what The Risto Owner will say to you.

A sample of The Risto Owner lines

  1. Table 4 has had the menu open for 20 minutes. That's not reading, that's meditating.
  2. You said "it's almost ready" fifteen minutes ago. Almost is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
  3. Today's special is whatever didn't sell yesterday. Sell it like you mean it.
  4. The computer crashed and so did your face. Smile, we are still open.
  5. You took a break outside during the busiest hour. Bold. Careless. Almost impressive.
  6. Table 2 asked for the bill twenty minutes ago. They live here now.
  7. Closing tonight took two hours. The restaurant was empty for one of them.

That's 7 of 30. The other 23 only come up if The Risto Owner gets picked as your roaster for the day, one roast at a time, once a day.
