Staff Management

Build a “TEAM”!

Gastronomy is a business made by people who work with people for people. What you need is a team – internal and external – that stands together like 1 man / woman.

100% of your guests are people
100% of your employees are people
100% of your suppliers are people

So if you do not understand people, you will not understand gastronomy. Therefore, you need a workforce that is adapted to the operational requirements. And mutual understanding is the key.

The kitchen can destroy the entire service workflow. The service can also cause a complete failure of a kitchen. When they do not have the necessary experience, training and teamwork skills.

As a matter of fact: “The focus was, is and remains on the guest!”

Finding the right people for your restaurant is a major challenge to face after you have found your location, planned the design, and done the decoration and have a menu. I am sure you are well aware that a restaurant is labor intensive.

You should be aware that your team is the backbone of your restaurant and keeps it going. Therefore, you should select your employees with the greatest care and be treated appropriately.

Once your business is making a profit, do not neglect your people. Let your team share in your success as they are a part of it and make them feel valued.
