Nearly 40% of restaurants say they’re having trouble finding servers, cooks, and other workers—and you’re probably feeling this firsthand, too. Finding and retaining good employees for your restaurant is hard.
Far too often, by the time a hiring manager responds to an applicant’s initial inquiry, the applicant has already accepted a job at another local restaurant. When a GM is able to secure an interview, the risk of no-shows remains high. In fact, the rate of no-shows is increasing at an alarming rate and taking up valuable time on the GM’s calendar—time that could have been spent optimizing the restaurant’s operation.
Complicating matters even more, the current labor shortage is creating a scenario where great employees are now working overtime to cover shifts, which leads to burnout and ultimately more turnover. The hiring crisis has shattered hiring norms that have long been held. We can’t keep doing things the way we’ve always done them because things are not how they’ve always been. Expectations no longer match reality.
If you’re holding on to outdated hiring beliefs and practices, it’s time to find your new path forward.
