Your May 2025 Mantra

May is here—time to ditch the winter blues and soak up some sunshine! This month is all about growth, good vibes, and reconnecting (with yourself and as many two-tops as you can put together for big  Mother's Day brunch parties). Longer days mean more time to chase passions, spark creativity, and appreciate the little joys. Your mantra this month is:

This May, I channel my energy towards rejoicing in the relationships that help me grow like May flowers. Balancing my focus at work with making time for the people I care about is like shining a spotlight on my talents and charm, allowing opportunity (and big tips) to flow in abundantly.

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.

May is here—time to ditch the winter blues and soak up some sunshine! This month is all about growth, good vibes, and reconnecting (with yourself and as many two-tops as you can put together for big Mother's Day brunch parties). Longer days mean more time to chase passions, spark creativity, and appreciate the little joys. Your mantra this month is:

This May, I look for creative inspiration wherever it may come. Like the patio umbrellas that have been stuck in the back storage room all winter, I shake off lingering creative cobwebs and stay open to fresh ideas.

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.

Your May 2025 Mantra

May is here—time to ditch the winter blues and soak up some sunshine! This month is all about growth, good vibes, and reconnecting (with yourself and as many two-tops as you can put together for big Mother's Day brunch parties). Longer days mean more time to chase passions, spark creativity, and appreciate the little joys. Your mantra this month is:

I step into May like a sunbeam, armed with iced coffee and a determination to dominate patio season. Mother’s Day is my annual nudge to sprinkle some extra love around—because if moms taught us anything, it’s that relationships thrive on a solid mix of effort and snacks.

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.

Your May 2025 Mantra

May is here—time to ditch the winter blues and soak up some sunshine! This month is all about growth, good vibes, and reconnecting (with yourself and as many two-tops as you can put together for big Mother's Day brunch parties). Longer days mean more time to chase passions, spark creativity, and appreciate the little joys. Your mantra this month is:

This May, I will take time to relax and appreciate the change of the season, reveling in sunshine, great food, and letting positive moments wash over me like a pressure washer cleaning off patio furniture. Mother’s Day rolls in as the perfect reminder to appreciate the people who keep me sane (or at least try to) and that carrying wet wipes (or a clean bar towel) will always come in handy.

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.

May is here—time to ditch the winter blues and soak up some sunshine! This month is all about growth, good vibes, and reconnecting (with yourself and as many two-tops as you can put together for big Mother's Day brunch parties). Longer days mean more time to chase passions, spark creativity, and appreciate the little joys. Your mantra this month is:

I dish out love and care like it’s a Las Vegas buffet, but this May, I’m making sure to save a plate for myself. Mother's Day reminds me that balance is key—because thriving means giving AND taking, whether it’s in work, relationships, or chisme.

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.

May is here—time to ditch the winter blues and soak up some sunshine! This month is all about growth, good vibes, and reconnecting (with yourself and as many two-tops as you can put together for big Mother's Day brunch parties). Longer days mean more time to chase passions, spark creativity, and appreciate the little joys. Your mantra this month is:

I lead with passion and grace, creating moments that linger like the warmth of patio season and the joy of Mother's Day brunch (for the guests at least). With every plate served and every connection made, I revel in bringing people together to celebrate life’s simple pleasures. This month, I rise as both a guide and a host, nurturing my team and pouring love into my community, one table and mimosa flute at a time.

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.

May is here—time to ditch the winter blues and soak up some sunshine! This month is all about growth, good vibes, and reconnecting (with yourself and as many two-tops as you can put together for big Mother's Day brunch parties). Longer days mean more time to chase passions, spark creativity, and appreciate the little joys. Your mantra this month is:

The energy of May inspires me to deepen bonds and enjoy life’s pleasures. The start of patio season (and its umbrellas) encourages me to be present and open, while Mother's Day reminds me to celebrate and appreciate the strong, nurturing influences that have shaped my path.

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.

May is here—time to ditch the winter blues and soak up some sunshine! This month is all about growth, good vibes, and reconnecting (with yourself and as many two-tops as you can put together for big Mother's Day brunch parties). Longer days mean more time to chase passions, spark creativity, and appreciate the little joys. Your mantra this month is:

This May, I take inspiration from the season, channelling my drive into growth and nurturing new opportunities that blossom for me. Mother’s Day is a reminder to call my material figures (and not just for their secret family recipes), taking the time to show gratitude for their unconditional love and support, and strive to reflect that back to my community.

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.
