Tips for motivating your restaurant staff

It's time to discuss some of the most effective tips you can use as a restaurant owner to motivate your employees, make them feel part of the project and improve their productivity through motivation and involvement

Both in the boss-employee relationship and between employees, it is important that there is a good working atmosphere and respect.

Involving the staff from time to time or on a weekly basis in the choice of dishes, the preparation of the menu or the tasting is always a positive point.

A very simple and inexpensive way to get another positive to motivate restaurant staff is to offer them to eat there, either from the menu, a la carte, or even a special menu for them.

Weekly or monthly bonuses or penalties

This will depend on each company, but it is important that employees see that they will be rewarded for certain actions they perform effectively and penalized for others that are not correct, equally.

This is a great way to motivate your restaurant employees.

Invest in employee training

For everyone, no matter what industry they work in, training is always important. From the moment the owner invests in the training of his employees, they realize that the company takes care of them, their well-being, and transmits confidence and security, which are then transferred to their work and service, doing it in better conditions.

Training - Motivated servers

This will help your employees to take action without fear of failure. It will improve their self-confidence without having the full confidence of the owner.

They will work under less pressure and in a more relaxed manner, which translates into more efficient work and greater motivation.

Stimulate teamwork

This part is also easy to do. Celebrating employee birthdays together, hosting parties or activities outside of work is a great way to bond and improve employee trust and motivation.

What do you think of all these tips and are you taking them into account to keep your employees happy and improve their confidence?

If not, now is the time to implement them. We're sure that by following a few minimal guidelines, employee turnover will decrease and performance will increase dramatically.
