Good on ya Pam (have your say), you've had it hard there for a couple of months now with the staff problems as they have been.
Typical of this time of year I think with the existing staff seeing the bright lights of tourism and better pay, shame they don't see far enough to figure "I will be out of work by the end of the season" or "Will I get paid at the end of the season.
The old chef had been a pain for two months now with threats to leave or "put my pay up" (while his food was getting worse), I believe he did get a pay increase, even after that he still did a runner - about time he left, staff like that can kill a business.
I found out he came back a few days later "can I have my job back", he didn't get the one he was promised
The new chef looks right, usually in whites, I've had her food three time so far and also heard from others how much it has changed for the better, she also live local to Zaks (married) so I guess wouldn't consider running to a job with free Accom in tourism.
Was in there last night (Turk Night) a new waiter had just started and looked to be trying hard, must have been 60 people in there (about 30 eating) and no sign of any service problems that I saw.
Looking like its finally got over the staff problems of recent.
Keep up the good work Zakkum, or should that be "Zakkum staff"
