Donald Burns tells restaurant owners how to attract and keep staff: offer real benefits instead of nothing, and build culture through team activities, regular feedback, and chances for people to grow together.
Limited benefits. Many restaurants don't offer any kind of comprehensive benefit packages to their employees. Evaluate your current benefit offerings, considering adding or improving benefits to make your restaurant a lot more attractive potential employees. Reason number five is underestimating the power of company culture and really creating a positive work environment. Invest time, effort, and energy into developing a strong culture of accountability. This could include team building activities, regular feedback sessions, or one on ones, and opportunities for employees to bond and grow together.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
