Welcome to the Le Petit Triangle Cafe blog!

This blog will be for posting sidework sheets, recipes/links you find, and general ideas or comments for the good of all. The ability to post on this blog will be made available to all employees and all employees will be expected to check the blog on a regular basis for new announcements or posts. Also, you can respond to others' posts by using the comment feature. Hopefully, this asset will encourage better communication amongst the staff about new things that are going on in the restaurant...

Salut!
