What you should know about Quincys
In 2001 when Quincy’s Café changed hands, we decided to keep everything pretty much the same but increase the emphasis on the dinner trade.
Quincy’s Café was opened in 1998 to fill a niche in Pietermaritzburg for an upmarket café. The menu concentrated on quality breakfasts and lunches, and although a dinner menu was available, it was set at a much lower key. In 2001 when Quincy’s Café changed hands, we decided to keep everything pretty much the same but increase the emphasis on the dinner trade. A new menu was designed that focused on evening fare, whilst retaining the feel of the daytime menu. We do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have and will mix and match our menu to suit where necessary. It is wise to remember that we are not Halaal as we serve breakfasts with bacon and have other pork products prepared in our kitchen. We are fully air-conditioned and have a huge parking area adjacent to the restaurant, and are 50m away from the Virgin Active Gym if you need to appease your conscience! There is a unique angular, granite-topped bar separate from the dining area which is ideal for pre-dinner drinks or a beverage whilst waiting for a table. This outside area is cooled by large fans in summer and heated with gas heaters in winter. We attribute our continued progress to the stability of our staff and management, strict maintenance of standards, solid training, permanent management supervision and a genuine desire to please, which is reflected throughout our workforce. With any business it is the management and staff that make the wheels turn, and ours is no different. Our kitchen staff have mostly been with us since inception, and this level of stability and experience is invaluable. We have a kitchen co-ordinator, whose job it is to collect incoming orders, relay the information to the kitchen departments responsible and then, when the food has been prepared, finalize garnish and presentation and send the food out to the diners. Some of our kitchen staff have 25 years experience in restaurants. Our waitresses and barmen are sourced locally and are comprised of University students, other post-grad studiers and full time professional waitrons. We tend to use young ladies in the restaurant area and gentlemen in the bar area although we have had waiters in the past. We spend some time with direct experience training as well as reference to a comprehensive training manual written by us and purpose-designed for our application. Waitrons are incentivised by a percentage of turnover that increases with experience, confidence and ability. We occasionally use very experienced staff members as backup managers and hostesses when special circumstances require it.
