Creative Ways To Hire Great Restaurant Staff
Before your restaurant opens you will need to hire some employees and the number you hire depends on what your hours of operation will be and what size of restaurant you have. Know what positions you want to fill as well. There should also be enough time for proper training. Be sure to find the best employees to add to the success and reputation of your restaurant. You want people who will be responsible, dependable and will always be putting forth their best effort. The reputation and success of your restaurant will depend a lot on what type of employees you hire.
By offering a good wage and benefits to your employees, it is more likely that you will find hard working, dedicated ones. Happy employees are great employees.
When you’re ready to hire employees for your restaurant before it opens, place an ad in a classified section of your newspaper or online agency. Mention in the ad what skills and experience you require and what characteristics you desire in a person. For example, they have to be pleasant, able to work hard and get along well with other employees and be customer friendly. If they are successful in obtaining an interview you can further screen them for appropriate skills and personality traits.
Another place to advertise in is a local employment office. If you advise them of your needs, they can put the restaurant job(s) into their computer database and post it on their job board. There are many qualified and eager people that would love to work in a new restaurant.
Many students work in restaurants after school or on weekends. If you’re interested in hiring a student from either a local high school, college or university, place an ad on their job postings board which most schools have. Just contact the school for more information. Another great idea is to inquire at a culinary school for a potential part-time chef or cook.
If you still feel you need extra help in your restaurant once it has opened, try getting referrals from your present employees. A lot of times a recommendation from an already good employee can be better than a written advertisement.
Another great way to advertise for help is to place an ad in your restaurant window that you are taking applications for future employees. Always be sure to be organized about it and state a time to drop it off and a telephone number where you can reached.
