TL;DR
Restaurant owners and managers make common mistakes that can lead to low motivation, low morale, and a disengaged workforce. Investing in people and processes can lead to a happier, more productive, and successful team.
Today I'd like to share the 10 biggest mistakes restaurant owners make. These are mistakes that, if left unaddressed, ultimately lead to low motivation, low morale and a disengaged workforce. And as I'm sure you know, that spells trouble for your restaurant!
Whether you're an owner or a restaurant manager, I know running restaurants (or any business) can be daunting and overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be like this!
If you focus on doing the right thing (not the easy thing), and you invest in your people and your processes, you'll have a happier, more productive and more successful team.
Biggest mistakes restaurant owners make:
Reactive not proactive when it comes to recruitment
No plan in place for orientation and onboarding
Employees aren't paid for training
Employees are pulled out of training too soon
No HR systems to run their restaurants
Wrongly categorize employees as independent contractors
They don't coach and develop their team
They discipline too frequently
They don't take ownership
They keep repeating the same mistakes, expecting things to change
