Staffing And Training Franchise Restaurant Employees

Taking on the responsibilities of being a franchise restaurant owner involves juggling a lot of different tasks - especially at first! One of the most important things to do before your location can officially open is to find and train a qualified staff to run the restaurant. Especially where you’re taking on a franchise restaurant, you don’t want to hire just anyone for the job. You’ll also want to make sure that you train them properly before the restaurant opens! We’ll give you some crucial tips for finding and training your staff below!

Recognize And Advertise Must-Have Qualities

Before you find your restaurant staff, think of all of the different positions you need to fill. Each position is going to require a different skill set, but you should have a good idea of the most desirable qualities for each role once you’ve had time to think about their responsibilities. Think of all of the traits that you can’t afford not to have in your restaurant. Once you’ve got a list of those, make sure that they’re emphasized on your job posting. You’ll be able to check off the boxes during the interview process and separate the qualified from the unqualified.

Prepare Interview Questions For Each Position

Not every interview for a position has to play out in the exact same way, but you should have a good understanding of what information you want to get out of each prospective employee. Before every interview, regardless of what position you’re hiring for, prepare a list of questions and what your expectations are for a response. If you can find employees that meet your expectations, these should be your top candidates for the position. If you can find several and choose between those with more desirable qualifications, even better!

Train Employees Around The Customer Experience

As a franchise restaurant owner, what’s the most important element of your business? The answer to this question is the thing that will keep your restaurant thriving and inspire people to return to it: the customer experience! Regardless of what position you’re training, place a big emphasis on the customer experience. All of the elements of your restaurant will influence how a customer feels about their decision to eat there, so it’s important to make these as perfect as possible. If you get the idea in their heads early, it will make a world of difference in the long run!
