Notes from Shapiro's Deli

 If you have ever been to the Carmel deli then you have probably seen Ronda.  She has more years at Shapiro's as a manager than anyone else.  She has been with the company for 26 years!  Ronda is who I call whenever I have questions.  How many pounds of this do you need to feed 47 people?  Ronda knows.  How much produce should I order to make that big catering order?  Ronda knows.  When is Passover and what special items do I need on the shelves?  Ronda knows.  In addition, she is my personal guru if I need to know what is trendy right now.  She can tell me what other companies are selling, how much they are charging, what the presentation is, how the packaging looks, and whether or not it tastes good.  She is also an amazing cook.  There is nothing about Shapiro's menu that she doesn't know.  She can tell you what temperature, how much salt, when to turn it over, how long it should cool, how to slice it and any other thing you want to know.  Ronda knows!  On top of all that she makes me laugh out loud whenever I see her.  I know Shapiro's is lucky to have her, but I am especially grateful to be working with her.  Say "HI RONDA" next time you stop by Shapiro's Deli in Carmel, Indiana!!
