Is Turnover Holding You Back From Profitability

What if I told you the one thing holding you back from better profitability was not your labor cost or schedule but your TURNOVER?

Did you know that, on average, it costs $5,000+ to hire, train, and develop a new employee?

If we are being honest, most in the industry are running a 50% turnover rate annually.

While not all of this can be prevented, improving retention is the best way to lower our labor costs in 2024.

This means today might be the day that we start evaluating our team.  Where are the gaps?  Are there things we could do on a daily/weekly basis to improve our team’s efficiency? Before building a performance improvement plan for the team, we must first take a moment to see what is going on.

During peak times, treat yourself to a meal at your establishment tonight.  This isn’t the time to correct their behavior, as we first need a baseline in the following three areas. Our recommendation is that by having your team treat you as a guest, you will be able to evaluate your team’s performance in the following areas: 

1. Speed and Efficiency: Monitor how quickly and efficiently employees complete their tasks, especially during peak times.

2. Accuracy: Assess the accuracy by following recipes and orders to maintain consistency and quality.

3. Presentation: Evaluate the presentation of dishes to ensure they meet the restaurant’s standards.
