Archer has worked the lunch shift ever since he arrived on the Barge in February 2020, and it shows both in how he conducts himself and how meticulous he is. Archer arrives early to each shift and is always the last to leave; he keeps detailed notes regarding stock used, as well as recipes. To him, the kitchen is something of a sacred space, not only because of how important feeding the ship is, but also because he deeply enjoys the work despite his stern exterior.

Because of this, Archer is also a strict supervisor. If you sign up to work in the kitchen, he expects you to pull your weight, whether that involves doing food prep, washing dishes, cooking, or cleaning. No one should think it wise to slack off in his presence, and he personally operates under a one-strike system. If you come into the kitchen and fuck around, he will be all too happy to throw you into Kitchen Jail and ban you from ever setting foot on the premises again.

That said, he works just as hard (if not harder) than most and never asks anyone to do something he wouldn't do himself. He is also a willing mentor and teacher in the ways of the male wife kitchen so he is always willing to help if someone genuinely wants to learn.
