A Lesson On How Consultants Can Make A Difference In An Organization

Last week, I took some friends to a new restaurant. "Ambience Place"
and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket.
It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I observed
that he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket.

Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets.
When the waiter came back to serve our soup I inquired, "Why the spoon?"

"Well," he explained, "the restaurant's owner hired Brainstorm Consulting to
revamp all of our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded

that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop
frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour.

If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back
to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift.'

As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he replaced it with his spare.
'I'll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra
trip to get it right now…' I was impressed.

I also noticed that there was a string h*****g out of the waiter's fly.

Looking around, I saw that all of the waiters had the same string h*****g
from their flies. So, before he walked off, I asked the waiter, 'Excuse me,
but can you tell me why you have that string right there?'

'Oh, certainly!' Then he lowered his voice. 'Not everyone is so observant.
That consulting firm I mentioned also learned that we can save time in the restroom
by 76.39%

By tying this string to the tip of you- know- what, we can pull it out without touching it
and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time in the restroom
by 79.26%.'

I asked quietly,' After get you it out, how do you put it back?'

'Well,' he whispered, 'I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon.'

I'll remember that each time I go out to eat, especially the part about the string and I think I'll bring my own spoon. In case I should happen to drop mine I'll have a spare in my purse and not have to wonder if it was used to put a string back inside some waiters pants. LOL

Have your own string. Dangle it from your fly and tell your waiter that's where you keep tip money.
