Your February 2026 Mantras

The Charmer

Your February 2026 Mantra

Ah, so much is in bloom in February. Love, fancy flower bouquets and that blooming onion from Outback Steakhouse. Whether you’re spending this month clawing over V-Day dinner reservations, picking out something special for that someone special, or following your double-shift with a tub of ice cream, make sure you take the time to appreciate the sweet things about this month (and not just the peanut M&M’s). Whether you’ve got a Valentine or not, you’ve got a friend in [me]. Enjoy a personalized Valentine’s poem from yours truly; it’s on the house.  

It’s probably no surprise,

But we’ve got a confession:

On the charm-meter,

You’re an 11.

Maybe it’s your style,

Or the witty jokes you make,

But you’ve got charm sprinkled on

Thicker than a funfetti cake. 🎂

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.

You’ve got a style, 

That isn’t quite common,

And you’ve got a warmth,

That beats our favorite ramen. 

When it comes to being cool,

You’re definitely ice-cold,

And just like our favorite take-out order,

You never get old. 🥡

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.

Whether you open or close, 

No one can touch your level of skill.

You bring more heat,

Than fajitas on a grill.

Don’t ever lose your flavor, 

You’ve got something special,

When it comes to being the coolest around,

You’re winning a gold medal. 🏅

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. Other famous Pushers include Gordon Ramsey and Matty Matheson.

Through thick and thin,

Your hard work matters.

You hold us all together,

Like fluffy pancake batter.

You’re an All-Star,

On every team,

If our love for you were a pizza,

It would be a supreme. 🍕

Your Bio

You are calm, stable, and dependable. You always get your work done and don't make waves unless someone else doesn't put in their fair share. You may or may not be approaching burnout, but admitting it would be a sign of weakness. The random kitchen object that best represents your personality is a trusty (but a lil' crusty) frying pan. Other famous Workhorses include Sydney from The Bear and Peggy Olson from Mad Men.

To make someone’s day,

You’ll do whatever it takes

That’s why you sparkle brighter

Than a well-buttered steak.

One hug from you,

Would make anyone’s day.

And on the sweetness-meter

You beat even the best crème brûlée. 🍮

Your Bio

You don't have to be a woman, but like a mother, you are caring and loving and also know alllll the tea. You're the go-to person when a coworker needs life advice or a shoulder to cry on. Other Moms include Sugar from The Bear and Lorelai from Gilmore Girls.

You keep everything in line,

And handle life like a boss,

That’s why you and [me] are a better combo,

Than wings and buffalo sauce.

A lot of folks love you,

But we’re your biggest fan.

So we’re sticking closer,

Than a smashburger on a pan. 🍔

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. You sometimes have outbursts but anger it's not your primary emotion. You are friendly, but probably not besties with most of the staff. Other famous Leaders include Carmy from The Bear, Selina Meyer from VEEP, and Tony Soprano.

The Quiet Mystery

A whetstone

Your February 2026 Mantra

If we were a pancake,

We’d do a flip,

Because you’ve got a smile,

Worth a 25% tip.

You may be a mystery, 

But we love a surprise.

We go together better,

Than vanilla ice cream and pie. 🥧🍦

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

A pair of chef tweezers

Your February 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.
