Restaurant Training Syllabus

 

Why should I invest in a speaker for my servers?

Many restaurants do an incredible job training their in-house staff members. This includes food and beverage tasting sessions, classroom training, testing, and "follows" with experienced staff members. After the rookie is turned loose on the floor, there are daily shift meetings and mandatory staff meetings to help push menu specials and service hot points.

However, factors such as staff turnover, seasonal menu changes, and business trends can affect your staff training on a variety of levels and even negatively impact your business. This is where Motivation Through Movement can step in and make a difference. 

In one fast-paced, hilarious hour, Luke will unite your staff members and get them all on the same page: Constantly Thinking About Service Excellence 

And as a special bonus!

We also provide pre-printed "Shift Meeting" Theme cards which allows your management staff to follow up on key issues from our Seminar to reinforce them with your staff over the coming weeks!
