Course Description

You can’t run a restaurant alone. You’ll need a strong team of front and back-of-house employees who can work cooperatively in a fast-paced, pressure-filled environment. This course will guide you through the process of building your restaurants’ team, such as recruiting and hiring the right people, building their skills through training, and rewarding them to ensure high performance and retention. By following these principles, you can build a winning team that achieves business success.

In this Managing People and Operations course, you’ll learn how to both find and keep exceptional employees. Hiring can be difficult if you skip steps, and it can be even harder to keep strong employees on staff if you are unsure what the proper strategies are for retention. We’ll discuss the steps and strategies you need, as well as how to train and evaluate your employees once they’ve been hired.

  • Recruit and select high-performing front and back-of-house employees
