Day 16: Whisky’s Christmas Countdown 🐾 Whisky’s Tip: “Don’t forget to take a paws and reflect!” The holiday season can feel like a whirlwind of activity, but it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect.

So, take a deep breath, wag your tail, and soak in the progress you’ve made. What’s one thing you’re proud of this year? Let’s celebrate it together! #WhiskysChristmasCountdown #SmallBizReflections #CelebrateTheWins #HolidayPause #GingerAndWhisky

But what Dinner Ladies is focusing on in this quieter time is: 1. Training - completing vital seasonal food, drink and service training with the team so we are going into the next season stronger 💪🏼 2. Investing in relationships - Strengthening client relationships with showcases & visiting our venues 3. Team bonding - making time for a team holiday as well as more pub trips and picnics 4. Reflecting & reevaluating - Thinking about our position for the year, where we are at with our goals, what’s working well and what’s not so we can make changes #cateringindustry #eventsindustry #businessgoals #team
