Since having qualified and capable team members is critical for success, this guide on how to hire restaurant staff gives 10 tips on how to recruit and retain employees so you\u2019re never in need of talent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Determine Staffing Needs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to SevenRooms.com, a good guideline for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sevenrooms.com\/en\/blog\/staffing-a-restaurant-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">estimating restaurant staffing needs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one front-of-house employee (servers, hosts) for every three to five tables, along with four to seven back-of-house staff members (cooks, kitchen managers) per 50 tables. Certain types of restaurants may need even more employees. For example, if your establishment is more upscale, you may need a sommelier; if you own a steakhouse, maybe a butcher, so plan carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Identify Essential Skills<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After evaluating your staffing requirements, think about the skills needed for a new hire to be successful in a given role. While a server should know how to use a POS system and a chef how to prepare food, both positions also require good communication and teamwork skills, so remember to look for both hard and soft skills during interviews to identify quality candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Define Job Expectations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re looking to hire restaurant staff, it\u2019s critical that you clarify duties in both the job description and interview process. If you don\u2019t have bussers, be sure that servers know they\u2019ll be clearing and setting tables; if your kitchen is open late, make sure that cooks realize they might be working odd hours. When employees understand what will be expected of them, you\u2019ll reduce the risk of a mismatch that can lead to high attrition or low morale.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Explore Recruitment Channels<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although job boards and window signs can be effective, don\u2019t be afraid to try other methods of recruiting employees. Attending job fairs or partnering with culinary schools are good ways to meet people in the industry, and posting on social media can be effective for reaching people outside of your immediate network. If your restaurant is already established, be sure to ask your current employees for referrals since these candidates are often the best.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Streamline the Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although nobody expects applying for a job to be a breeze, it\u2019s still important to simplify and expedite the recruiting process as much as possible. Given the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/how-to-retain-restaurant-employees-during-the-staffing-crisis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">foodservice staffing shortage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you don\u2019t want candidates to lose interest due to a lengthy application or get frustrated by an unresponsive recruiter, so plan accordingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conduct Good Interviews<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than the application or resume, the interview is arguably your best opportunity to assess potential employees. Asking <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.7shifts.com\/blog\/restaurant-job-interview-questions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good interview questions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as not only the standard \u201cTell me about yourself\u201d but also the thought-provoking \u201cWhat is your proudest moment,\u201d are excellent tools in evaluating skill level and cultural fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Provide Adequate Training<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important aspects of learning how to hire restaurant staff is understanding the importance of training. Restaurant employees need a variety of skills, so make sure new staff members have the resources they need to learn how to do their job effectively. From study guides to learn about menu items to role playing to teach about customer service, there are many ways to train staff members that\u2019ll increase efficiency, improve morale and reduce turnover.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hire Seasonal Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any business, restaurants have busy and slow times of the year, so it might be a good idea to hire extra help when needed. If you know that your family restaurant is busy during the holidays or your beachside caf\u00e9 is hopping during the summer, adding a few temporary positions can help your permanent employees avoid burnout, reducing the turnover rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Use Technology Productively<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incorporating technology into daily tasks is another way to improve the employee experience. Whether it\u2019s a POS system that allows servers to place orders without having to walk to the kitchen or a website where customers can place orders without having to call, technology can make your employees\u2019 duties easier, increasing operational efficiency, job satisfaction and staff retention.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Compensate Good Employees<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With an average <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/joinhomebase.com\/blog\/restaurant-employee-turnover\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">restaurant employee turnover rate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of over 100% per year, it\u2019s well known that foodservice establishments often have difficulty retaining staff. Constantly recruiting and training is time-consuming and expensive, so be sure to treat high-performing employees well by giving them competitive compensation, generous bonuses and excellent benefits so that they\u2019re more inclined to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding employees is one of the most difficult yet important steps in opening a new restaurant.
