It turned out that the client had a friend, a kitchen manager, who was looking for an employee because a position had opened up. I met with him in August and was given the opportunity to start with a trial period.

My first day at work was on September 1, 2004 – the same day my son started first grade, going to school with his proud dad. At the beginning of my career, the company was known under a different name, and my position was located at a facility in Gliwice.

I started as a customer service worker, handling deliveries, dividing goods, preparing meals (mainly reheating), making sandwiches, serving meals, and tidying up after work. After a month, I was promoted to cashier in a three-shift system.

Although it seems like a daily routine, at that time sales were processed on computers with folders where we searched for products. In addition to meals, we also sold drinks, snacks, sandwiches, and desserts. Employees had only 15 minutes for lunch, and after the night shift, all sales had to be saved on a floppy disk and handed over to the manager. Over time, we switched to a new and more convenient system :)

In August 2008, I was offered the position of assistant manager, which I accepted after a brief consideration. Starting in September, I took on new responsibilities, such as ordering meals, goods, entering invoices, and managing revenue. In 2013, we opened a new location in Gliwice, and I was offered the position of manager there.

I worked at that location for 7 years, and now I am responsible for an entirely different contract that requires a great deal of flexibility. We joined in March 2020, during the difficult period of the pandemic, which posed a huge challenge, but we managed to quickly adapt to the new reality. A few years have passed, and this year marks my 5th anniversary working on this contract, with wonderful employees who have been with me for 11 years.
