Kill time at work: Match the Craigslist job with the restaurant that posted it

This morning I was leafing through the Craigslist jobs section and noticed a bunch of restaurant jobs in Prospect Heights.

It looks like a certain upscale wine bar that sells coffee and panini sandwiches (*koff*Half*koff*) is looking for several new employees. Is that kind of turnover typical for a restaurant? To wit: (1) part/time bartender/wine server (does “compensation: tips” mean NO
salary?! If so, I need to start tipping a hell of a lot more.)
(2) barista,
(3) food prep.

This one I’m not as sure: Pizza person sought for new Prospect
Heights pizza & pasta restaurant
that is closed on Mondays. Could it
be Amorina? Their listing for a pasta chef stumped me until I realized the email
was the same as above. But what is the deal with “hard work Wed-Sun.
Monday and Tuesday we party!”? – Does this restaurant only serve pizza, not pasta, on
Tuesdays?

The woman owned and operated restaurant listing for a brunch chef
stumped me till I realized the fax # was the same as the server position at Beast. I didn’t know they served brunch?! Yum, yum, yum.

Finally, delivery person for fast paced BBQ joint on Flatbush Ave
probably Biscuit, right? Any other ideas?

[Menu] Restaurant GEN: Best Sushi in PH?

Sushi_1Somehow, the restaurant topic in the forums mutated into a sushi thread. Restaurant GEN, a relative latecomer at Washington and St. Marks, gets very high marks. sje says the quality, service and prices are "excellent" and overall a bit better than Geido on Flatbush. kestrel_ agrees, even though GEN doesn’t steam the edamame. However, 11238 is a "roll gal, so when the roll selection is at a minimum, I get cranky."

This inspired us to upload a Restaurant GEN menu. [Download menu_restaurant_gen.pdf]
Note they are closed Mondays. 718-398-3550. No liquor license yet; are they "OK" with "BYOS"?
