WEEKLY SPECIALS! Mariko wanted to name the sandwiches in celebration of Halloween (ie “Blood and Guts Sandwich” or something of the like)—the test panel voted “Ew.” She settled on a red/orange color theme (beets, red pepper, mango, etc). Enjoy!

best croissant in new york?
We’ve got it here!! If you haven’t tried it yet, come on in. Or try our pressed croissant sandwiches—one with ham and cheese and the other with avocado, tomato and white cheddar.
This is a terrible shot, but I wanted to bid farewell to the “reg.” On Monday around 1PM we went live on our new Dinerware POS. The transition could have gone a little smoother if the reg hadn’t caught wind of his replacement about a week ago and started acting out. Every morning starting from last Wednesday on there was a different problem that prevented us from signing into the machine and making transactions. A puzzle the managers had to deal with every morning at 8 am—after desperate calls from the opening staff. We were so close! We couldn’t pay Mike, the repairman to come out with 3 days left on it! Somehow we made it work without him.
On Sunday, after those daily tantrums, it decided it wasn’t going to work with the cover on anymore.
By Monday it was a sad sight. The reg lost his fight. Sorry, reg.
New light installation?? Setting the tone for some laptop love connections … or getting down with your bad self.
(Brighter lightbulbs are coming next week.)
I have a feeling my staff thought I was bullshitting them about our new point-of-sale system that we’ve been talking up since May—BUT it finally arrived on my desk yesterday. SO here it is. The future. Two weeks, October 4, is the day we take it live. I know you all think our system now is just so cute and that’s why you love us ;) but it’s time to make a change. With our brand new computer system (complete with printers at the barista station and the kitchen downstairs) we’ll be able to provide quicker service with fewer mistakes. Plus, we’ll have a customer database for call-in and delivery orders. That means you can just give us your phone number and we can pull up your address AND your favorite orders. Way to streamline, right???
But first I’ll be chugging away in the dungeon (aka the office downstairs that’s a constant 80 degrees, 80 percent humidity) programming and tweaking details—and then next week I’ll be training my lovely staff. It’s going to be quite the adjustment, but we couldn’t be more excited. For seven years we (we meaning the collective past 88 Orchard staff) have been punching away at our oh-so-beloved “reg” and calling orders down to the kitchen via the intercom we have had to replace every few months (er, 5 times in the month of August. WHYY??) Hello, modern technology. 88 Orchard is so happy to meet you.
