MTC, I'm going to post a few things that I've noticed about food establishments. Perhaps some of them apply to your restaurant. Perhaps none of them apply to your restaurant. First, in general, the pay that cooks and waitresses get is usually terrible. Several years ago, a waitress told me that she was getting $2.23/hour. That means she had to rely on tips. Most of the area farmers do not tip. (Sorry if this hits home, guys. If you DO tip your food server, I guess it doesn't apply to you)
My wife and I actually had a "date nite" last night. For the second time in a couple of weeks, the waitress didn't show. So the cook had to come out of the kitchen to serve the customers AND she had to go back into the kitchen to prepare the food. (This is a dive bar in a town of about 100, so it's no Applebees or Chili's) We didn't get any kind of acknowledgement for over half an hour and when I went to the bar to order my drinks, all she said was "I'll be at your table in a second." I was ready to walk, but my wife reminded me that we weren't in any hurry and when she finally did make it, she had tears in her eyes. The lady who was supposed to cover is very dependable at her day job and has no kids, so I assume it was because of the pay. (Assuming here, I have no idea)
The last time a server didn't show and the cook had to cover (a different cook. Not the same as last night), I felt sorry for her and left a decent tip and she thanked me profusely. So I know her pay really stinks.
My sister-in-law is a banker in a very small town and the few businesses left in town pooled together and purchased the cafe. They felt they had to do it because if the cafe would close, the town would close. Their cafe is now doing a booming business and is listed as one of the best places in the state to eat fried chicken.
One last thing: If you pay your cook decent wages, you could get another one. If you live in a small town and really can't pay them too much, it's just the breaks of doing business. I will agree, though, that there is no excuse for your cook, or any worker, to come in drunk.
