Get your sleep.
I know, easier said than done. But nothing replaces 7+ hours of rest. Sleep is your real fuel.

Drink more water than coffee.
Coffee feels good at first, but we’ve all had the crash. Hydration lasts longer. Start your shift with water, keep a bottle nearby, and you’ll thank yourself later.

Pack smart snacks.
Granola bars, nuts, fruit—small bites that keep energy steady without the sugar crash. It beats relying on vending machine chips mid-shift.

Move on your breaks.
Even just stretching or taking a quick walk can reset your energy. Your body will thank you.

Have a life outside of work.
Balance doesn’t mean quitting your job—it means adding something joyful outside of it. Whether it’s yoga, basketball, pickleball, or just a weekly walk, find something that refreshes you.

Hospitality work is demanding, but it doesn’t have to drain you. At GravyWork, we believe trained and supported staff perform better—and wellness is a big part of that. Take care of yourself, and you’ll take better care of the guests.
