Man, that week sounds brutal! I've totally been there myself. @alice_wilson73 you hit the nail on the head about it being like juggling knives. I remember one Friday where I forgot to prep the veg ahead of time and had to chop everything in the middle of the rush while trying to keep tickets straight. It was a nightmare, but somehow we got through it. The worst part is when servers start asking for substitutions and you're already behind on the basics. Honestly, dropping three prep lists sounds like a recipe for disaster, but I bet you handled it better than you think. I still have nights where I slip up, but I've learned to keep a backup stash of prepped stuff hidden just in case.

I've been there with the prep lists, dropping one feels like juggling knives. Did you find a system since then that keeps everything from falling apart?
