For those of you who might think that Miss Janice slaves away at the stove all the time...think again! I am the Queen of take-out and delivery y'all! So, I love this cute 'Take-Out Menu Organizer,' by C. R. Gibson. I purchased mine at It's In the Kitchen, in Weston, Florida. They do not have a large inventory of items available on their website, but if you would like to purchase one of these useful books, call them at 954.389.7220. Otherwise, these are available online at Distinctive-Decor .
Great for storing all those menus I collect, and it's tres cute...
There are separate compartments for different food specialities and labels are provided to mark each section...
A notepad is provided to jot down your order and the total price due. How many times have I asked husband what he wants to order and he starts shouting out stuff like I'm some short-order cook??? Now I just say, "Write it down!"
There is even a 'Tip Calculator' provided! Hmmmmmm, how much to tip for delivery service or when picking up a take-out order?
~For delivery service, I tip 20%; however, 15% is acceptable. If there is inclement weather, or you are ordering delivery service during a major televised sporting event, I would definitely tip 20%. Just remember that your tips are important to the delivery person...they are usually driving their own vehicle, paying for gas & upkeep, et cetera.
~If you are picking up food at a restaurant, a $1-$2 tip is acceptable or up to 10% of the bill. {If the restaurant accepts tips, then you should tip when you pick up a take-out order.}
Tips are for "service" provided, but I always try to be nice and generous with the person who has my food in his/her hands!
About a month ago, I was invited to a housewarming party and decided one of these cute binders might be something the couple would like. Wrapped in cello, with a yellow ribbon...I think it's a great gift!
Of course, I had to attach one of my 'Miss Janice' correspondence cards...
I always try to think of something useful and unique when giving gifts! I love it--surely they did...Miss Monica said they did in her thoughtful and timely thank-you note to me:)
Hope y'all aren't slaving away too much in your kitchen. Get it delivered!!!!
Thank you for visiting with me today!
