Hire the Best and Right Employees for your Restaurant

By Shareen Aguilar

As a restaurant owner, you surely only want what is best and efficient for your establishment. Though there are certain limitations in welcoming all the good things to a certain restaurant regardless if its the new year or not; you still have control over a better production, marketing and higher sales count for your business.

This is why you should already think about hiring the best of the best employees for your restaurant establishment. Why the best? Because, all the time that you are not around; the status and condition of your lifetime investment lies on the hands of these people that you call your people - your employees. Just because you already know someone from your neighborhood who needs to have a job, doesn't exactly mean that he or she is THE right person to fill in the space.
Next, we proceed to making it crystal clear that before hiring an employee to handle your business and profit; he or she will have to prove that his or her interests, dedication and qualification meets your standard and the work tasks at hand. This is also to say that the person doesn't only have to be the best in your opinion but also the right choice for you to work with.

Which is also why, hiring requires one-on-one interviews. Interview questions that begin with "why", "what", "how much" and "do you" are all essential in filling in the things that you need to know from that person upfront. It is also the answers that they give which makes your questions sensible. Before conducting an interview, think about the approach that you want and the message that you would like to send across to your applicant. This will give them the idea of the type of working environment and boss that they will be dealing with soon.

As for qualifications, you know what to look for. Of course, you will need somebody with a degree but do not forget as well that a person who has a college degree may not have enough experiences and skills that you need for your restaurant. This just means that, don't just look at the credentials of an applicant. If possible, explore more about what they have been doing in the past with previous companies and bosses they have worked with. Learn why they quit from the job and try to assess each of your applicant's passion to work for you and for the job that waits for them.

Firing Employees Respectfully and Properly

By Paul Davis

As someone professionally trained in negotiations, conflict resolution, and advanced interrogation to detect lies & fabrication I understand the importance of properly firing employees. Whatever the reasons - whether it is due to unproductivity, on the job hostility, being uncooperative, or poor sales - firing employees is always justifiable internally when the costs exceed the rewards of keeping a worker. Yet when firing an employee great care should be used so as to not anger and create a disgruntled individual who will come back to later haunt you.

Dos and don'ts for firing employees:

1. Don't publicize and make known what you are preparing to do.

2. Terminate an employee at the end of the week and toward the end of the day so they don't bring excessive attention to themselves and the termination.

3. Speak to the individual and let them know how much you appreciate them as a person, but that professionally you longer feel they are a good fit for the organization.

4. Thank the employee for their past performance and contribution to the corporation.

5. Offer to write a letter of recommendation to help them secure employment elsewhere.

6. Write a memo to all employees with the same position detailing what is expected of them and reassuring them that their jobs are secure.

7. Personally talk to all of your key workers after the firing and strengthen your bond with them to prevent an undercurrent of criticism and keep the loyalty you have built over time.

Remember being an employee for a company is something that involves your mind, will, and emotions, Therefore when letting a worker go, try to consider the relational aspect and handle people respectfully and courteously.
