Are you holding your business back?
Hospitality has a lot of variables, which makes operators wary of set systems. But some systems are necessary for your team to operate smoothly.
Some big ones are:

1. Have defined expectations for every role, make sure to include how the roles interact with eachother.

2. Train managers on how to manage - this is a very different skill than being a great server or having been there a long time.

3. Make sure everything works and that access to information is easy.

4. Clear, regular feedback keeps everyone informed and on the same page, it is 100% worth the time it takes!

5. Tolerating bad behavior is the same as encouraging it, this ruins morale and lowers the bar for the team.

Systems are not about control they are about creating a clear and effective work environment.

Your customers drive your business.
They vote on their preferences every time they come in -
What menu items they like, What service they prefer....
Are you listening?
Are items modified frequently?
How are they interacting with staff? Average guest check? Tip %?
Their choices and their dollars should be guiding your decisions.

At Navigator Consulting we provide a fresh, objective perspective on how your customers are interacting with your business to define the opportunities and pitfalls that may be present.
