The manager did not schedule enough servers or cooks for "Free Pancake Day". There was on cook in the kitchen and I was the covering all of the front of the house. As soon as I realized the problem and called the manager in to help me serve. Our cook was quick, but not that quick so when we got slammed it took longer than usual to get the food out but we did a lot of running and making sure the customers were content. We did it! everyone left with a smile on their faces and we didn't get home until 3:00am after closing time was supposed to be 10:00pm. Once it was over my manager asked me how I do it. That in itself made it worth it.
