Your June 2026 Mantra

Summertime is here, and things are about to get hotter than that plate of fajitas we ordered. Whether summer reminds you of the nostalgia of ice cream trucks, warm nights catching lightning bugs or backyard barbecues, this June is the start of a brand new summer, with plenty of memories left to make. In between packed dining rooms and rolling out summer specials, make sure to carve out some time for yourself. After all, the summer is your (chargrilled) oyster.

The most charming part about the summer isn’t the fancy vacations (or the buy-one-get-one-free snowcone specials), it’s the opportunity for adventure in our everyday lives. Whether that’s taking a new route home after work, checking out that new coffee shop in my neighborhood or sharing that extra snowcone with a loved one, there are opportunities in the ordinary to enjoy summer, and that’s pretty charming 😉. The summertime recipe I should try is street corn pasta salad - unique and sure to be a crowd-pleaser, just like me.

Your Bio

You are the king or queen of front of house. You're a hit with the regulars and know just how to make everyone feel special. You're also very good at making it seem like you have it all together, but won't let anyone see what the inside of your car looks like. You're the first person your GM sends to an unhappy guest to make things better. Other famous Charmers include Bon Appetit's Brad Leone, Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec, and Joey Tribbiani from Friends.

This summer, I’m letting my creativity reach new heights (and not just because I started stacking my frozen yogurt on top of my ice cream). Whether it’s making sure I’m checking in on my loved ones, finding ways to give back in my community or telling someone I appreciate them, creativity is also about care (and having the most stylish sunglasses on beach day). The summertime recipe I should try is no-bake S’mores icebox cake - one of a kind and the perfect addition to any celebration, just like me!

Your Bio

You are always coming up with new ideas, and don't like the "old" way of doing things. You're like Fernet, either people love you or they pretend to. You enjoy mixing things up and may or may not have unironically owned a Fedora at one point (it was the 2010s ok!?). Other famous Creatives include Phoebe Buffay from Friends and Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter.

Even though I’ve had my grill on since January, I couldn’t be more stoked for summer. But what really warms my heart isn’t the bonfires, beach days or 90-degree weather; it’s the memories I get to make with my loved ones. Whether we’re on a new adventure or spending a night in watching a movie, the summer is the sweetest when you share it with those you care about. The summertime recipe I should try is bang bang chicken skewers, a bit of a kick to them and great on the grill, just like me!

Your Bio

You can really work in any position front or back of house, but feel most at home on or near expo. You are high energy and can sometimes be aggressive (or just aggressively positive). You've expressed your fair share of "WOO!"s and "LET'S GOOOOO"s. You love the rush and are usually down to go out for a nightcap after closing.

Whether that’s exploring a new part of town, checking out a new recipe or even just relaxing, summer is worthwhile when I put as much into myself as I put into my work. The summertime recipe I should try is jalapeno popper smash burgers - a favorite in any room, and perfect under pressure, just like me!

Summertime is about more than making my favorite cake (my pantry may or may not already be full of frosting). It’s about showing new, colorful ways to make my loved ones feel appreciated, and exploring those hobbies I’ve been wanting to try (pickleball, anyone?). The “coolest” part about the summer? Making the most of it (by squeezing in as many hugs as possible). The summertime recipe I should try is raspberry cheesecake - bright and sure to put a smile on anyone’s face, just like me!

Am I in charge of organizing the annual barbecue, the pool parties and the protein of choice for Taco Tuesdays? Yes. Am I making sure to find some time in between for my loved ones and me? Absolutely. Summer is about more than checking the next thing off my itinerary; it’s about making sure I’m enjoying myself along the way (and grabbing an extra ice cream sandwich just because). This summer, I’m making sure to include myself on this year’s list of priorities. The summertime recipe I should try is these suya spiced grilled chicken thighs with nectarines - a good balance of sweet and spicy, and sure to leave a lasting impact, just like me!

Your Bio

You run the show and are likely a GM or other manager. You're often stressed out but still able to pull through and get shit done.

The Quiet Mystery

A whetstone

Your June 2026 Mantra

This June, I want to feel more relaxed than naptime after a pool day. This may not be the easiest with my schedule, but I’m making sure to find time every day to spend with myself. Whether that’s a simple hanging out at my local library, or something extravagant like ordering the double cheeseburger instead of the single, I’m ready to show how “cool” summer can really be. The summertime recipe I should try is blueberry lemonade - cool, calm and refreshing, just like me!

Your Bio

You are a mystery to us all (and even yourself). You show up and don't talk much but when you do say something it's typically quite profound. You're not usually managing anything and are ok with going with the flow. Although quiet, you would be missed if you weren't there. You can be slightly aloof but in a likable way. Other famous Quiet Mysteries include Hyde from That 70's Show (not an endorsement of Danny Masterson), Mama Coco from Coco, and Stanley from The Office.

The Perfectionist

Your June 2026 Mantra

Your Bio

Some may describe you as anal or having an "it's just business" approach, but really you just enjoy the challenge of working in a restaurant (and you really like to be the best at it). If you worked in a traditional corporate setting, you'd probably be in trouble with HR because of the less-than-delicate way you handle others' mistakes. At your core though you take pride in what you do and think others should too. You might be a sommelier or executive chef. Other famous Perfectionists include Sherlock Holmes (the Benedict Cumberbatch version), Miranda Priestly from Devil Wears Prada, and Ralph Fiennes in The Menu.
