Question:

How do you manage restaurant staff?

Answer:

The ability to work effectively as a team is particularly important for a food business.  Because there may be only a few staff, these employees are generally multi-skilled and are required to take responsibility for a range of tasks and functions within the business. 

Working together effectively as a team has a number of potential benefits for a food business.  These include:

    • Looking at ideas, skills, experience and creativity can lead to more efficient problem-solving and greater productivity.
    • Working together towards a common goal gives staff a feeling of belonging to and being an integral part of the business and a sense of ownership because the ultimate success of the enterprise rests partly in their hands.
    • Greater motivation for staff to give of their best, leading to higher levels of job satisfaction and increased productivity.

The recruitment and supervision of good staff will bring improved productivity for your business.  Handling staff requires special skills involving good communication, motivation and discipline when necessary.

In order to maximise productivity and gain the maximum return for the investment you have made in your staff, it is important to manage restaurant staff and motive them to perform to their utmost potential.  Major studies have shown that staff satisfaction with their wages, runs only third or fourth to job satisfaction. The important thing to remember is that each staff member will be motivated by different factors.
