Wonderful tips! Systems and processes are everything.
In light of recent conversations with customers, I've been pondering some prevalent challenges in restaurant management. Running a restaurant is a relentless challenge — staffing issues, supply chain disruptions, and escalating costs. The usual approach is crisis management, but what if we transformed our managers into strategic leaders? Every restaurant is unique, so why force a generic job description on your General Manager? Tailor their role to suit your specific needs, leveraging the strengths of your team. Define expectations clearly to streamline operations. Titles matter. Ditch "manager" for "leader" to convey active guidance rather than overseeing. Designate leaders for each department, clarifying responsibilities. For instance, a Bar Leader covers when the Leader of the House is off. Shift from crisis mode to proactive management by focusing on systems. Clear processes make decision-making straightforward. Manage systems, develop people — lead, train, and develop. Running a restaurant isn't just about food; it's about empowering everyone, creating effective systems, and fostering continuous learning. Redefine roles, revamp titles, and invest in your team. A smoothly run restaurant, even in your absence, ensures consistent quality — the key to customer loyalty. Isn't that the ultimate goal?

When the people in senior management positions make a priority of quality and compliance, the results follow naturally. Internal audits are completed to schedule, because the leadership team is actively engaged and invested in quality and compliance functions. Oversight and assurance processes are well-resourced. Quality is not viewed as a cost, but is inherent to the operational process. When senior managers are committed to quality and compliance, that commitment is obvious from the values and ideals prioritised throughout the business. Quality and compliance is a direct reflection of senior management commitment. #FoodManufacturing #FoodIndustry #FoodManufacturingIndustry #Food #FoodAndBeverage

During my own relatively short employment within the cleaning industry (compared to our company's three-decade expertise) there is one issue I have seen our customers repeatedly facing more than others: Short Staffing "How do other organizations cope with such limited staffing?" There are several strategies to address this challenge, but the biggest piece of this puzzle is KNOWLEDGE! You cannot direct your resources to a place you do not fully understand. As department leaders, you need to be aware of your staff's strengths, areas that need improvement, as well as the needs of your customers. It is also important to measure any changes you are making within your department. A thriving department doesn't solely rely on staff numbers but on a well-informed leader. “A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers.” – Plato

The Restaurant Coach®️| 6X Amazon Best Selling Author - My mission is to work with independent restaurant owners that want to achieve the have-it-all lifestyle across all four domains: Body, Being, Balance, Business.
Managers are often consumed by tactical thinking, focused on putting out fires and addressing day-to-day operational issues. While this approach is necessary, it can lead to a myopic view that fails to consider the bigger picture. As an owner, your role is to rise above the tactical noise and adopt a strategic mindset. This means stepping back, analyzing industry trends, and developing a comprehensive plan that positions your restaurant for sustained success. Effective strategy enables you to anticipate challenges, seize opportunities, and make informed decisions that propel your business forward. It empowers you to allocate resources efficiently, streamline operations, and foster a culture of continuous improvement within your team. Embrace your role as a strategic leader, and elevate your restaurant from being merely operational to truly exceptional. Tap the link in the bio to unlock the power of strategic thinking and take your restaurant to new heights. #restaurantownerlife #restaurantstrategist #restaurantsuccess
Managers focus on tactics, while owners focus on strategy.

It’s been a while since I started my role at Farmer Joe’s Fresh Market as anEvening Manager, but I wanted to share this update with everyone. "The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things." - Ronald Reagan I have lead many employees over the years. I have found those "A players" and those "B players" and elevated them to become future leaders. I have even taken a "C player" and developed them slowly by coaching them and encouraging them over the years so that they eventually became an "A player". I pride myself on growing and mentoring the future leaders of the amazing company I work for. We always strive to "build a bench"! The sign of a great leader/manager is what his/her team does when they are away from their job. I instill passion, dedication, and ownership into my team every day. When I am not there to lead them they should still be able to complete the job in my absence! Why? Because I gave them the tools to ensure the department/store would still run flawlessly in my absence. If you lead a horse to water they will drink it! Celebrate your team and develop them! Don't be scared they are going to take your job! You should want them to have that drive in them to "Take Your Job". If you are scared that someone is going to "take your job" then you are not doing what you should be doing as a leader! Time to look in the mirror and question yourself, not your staff! Manage the process! Manage the numbers! Manage the inventory! Buuuut PLEASE just lead your people! They will follow and march on with you!!! #America #Leaders

Helping hospitality directors optimise EBITDA & propel operational excellence with a continuous improvement approach focused on driving engagement. Diagnostics | £ Tracked Action Plans | Unique Optimisation Framework
“Why are so many restaurants underperforming”? Question for a keynote speaker I heard recently, who went on to talk about · Profit erosion · Service and brand standards consistency · Training / onboarding issues. · Management not inspired or supported to deliver results As the list continued from ops into economics, I thought about clients I have worked with over the years. Some great operators and leaders! Successful leaders who understood these challenges, but didn’t quite have the resources to fully solution, knowing a substantial portion of the pie was still on the table £££ The biggest factor standing in the way of improving profitability right now- TIME to really understand the potential. TIME to deliver the solution Groundbreaking... i know!! But I see this all the time, and when operators really understand their position through :- ££ Optimisation and diagnostics which mean something & People development aligned to challenges Great things really do happen.

Navigating the path to career advancement as a Food Production Manager can be both exciting and challenging. 🚀 In my experience, I've discovered that the key to moving up the ladder lies in a mix of continuous learning, strategic networking, and a deep understanding of the industry's evolving landscape. As a Food Production Manager, you're at the heart of operations, ensuring that food quality, safety, and efficiency are top-notch. But what's next? Look at specializing. Consider specializing in areas like quality control, supply chain management, or sustainability. This can make you invaluable and open doors to senior roles. Leadership Skills. Hone your leadership abilities. A leader who can inspire and manage effectively is often on the fast track to higher positions, such as Plant Manager or Operations Director. I'll add some more in the next day or 2 but let me know what you would add. #CareerGrowth #FoodIndustry #LeadershipDevelopment
