Restaurant Training - Selecting Your Restaurant Cast by Robert Duprey

The hospitality business is like show business.

When you are casting, it is important to place people in suitable roles. The costs involved with hiring an individual should be a strong deterrent to rushing into decisions you may regret in 1 weeks time. Remember, once the casting decision has been made, your entire production's reviews are going to depend on the various people you've chosen for the performance.

Don't be fooled by first appearances and beware of being overly impressed by what appears to be an excellent Resume/CV. Although these can provide a valuable insight, neither may be truly indicative of whether an individual is suitable for the role you wish to fill.

Obviously the show must go on, but it is important to invest the time and effort needed to get the right person- A well planned approach can go a long way in accomplishing this.

Here are a few casting tips to get you started.

1. Treat every vacancy like an open role in a play. Define the role you are auditioning people for in terms of the part the new cast members must play and how they'll have to relate to the other members in the cast. Make people skills and technical knowledge of equal importance in your hiring.

2. Identify the skills needed for the role. Once the interview begins, it's too late to start thinking about what you want to learn. Based on the job description and your knowledge of the role you are casting, what traits or personal attributes do you want new cast members to possess? Friendliness? Courtesy? Optimism? Creativity? How will you judge the presence or absence of those traits to your satisfaction? Focus the various stages of the selection process on the real-world skills demanded by the part you're trying to fill.

3. "Screen test" your applicants. Consider the way applicants treat your staff, which may be a good indication of how they will treat your customers and their co-workers if hired. Try role-playing difficult customer situations with applicants, or posing "what would you do if" questions based on the kinds of situations likely to occur on the job. You don't want to listen just for "right" or "wrong" answers. You can train them to use the right words later. Listen for orientation and attitude.

4. Use multiple selection methods. Remember test anxiety in school? Job applicants get it too. Instead of sifting all applicants through one coarse screen, use a succession of fine ones to help you differentiate.

5. Ask the right questions. There are questions that can be very effective in determining the general suitability of an individual applying for a role in your show. Following are several that can be adapted to your particular requirements

-What does "great service" mean to you? -When was the last time you experienced great service and how did it make you feel? -In visiting the restaurant today, did you feel welcome- did you notice things we could improve on? -The restaurant business is a people orientated business- What -Characteristics do you have that you feel are well suited for this role? -How would you handle a difficult customer? -What do you like most about being in the hospitality business?

6. Emphasize mutual selection. Applicants need to make as good a selection decision as you do. Just as you want to pick the right person, you gain by helping them pick the right position and organization. If they make a poorly informed decision and discover it only after being on board for a while, you will end up with a competent but unhappy camper.

7. Recruit actively. Good people may not always find you. Sometimes, you have to find them. Where have your best people been coming from? Reward your people for introducing new candidates by paying a bounty for bringing in friends, former colleagues, even relatives who are capable of filling roles in your production.

8. Hire people that are right for the role they need to play. Customer focused organizations have whatever kind of people it takes to dazzle the customer and bring them back again. It's very human to overlay personal beliefs, values, likes, and dislikes on the selection process, but it's seldom in the best interest of the customer to do so.

A Little About Sandwich Restaurant franchises - The Franchise of the Future and Now by Ian Nichols

The Biggest Thing in Franchising? A Soup and sandwich franchise opportunity can help make your business ownership dreams a reality. Entrepreneurs are always looking for good opportunities and when they think about of a franchise opportunity the majority think of a food franchise chain. It's only logical, given the success of large-popular chains dominating the food franchise market.

Because everyone has to eat, the food franchise industry is in great demand and is ready to provide a multitude of of opportunity. If you long to run your own business, a food franchise opportunity can turn your dream into a realtiy fast-by easy to use plans to start your new business, well known trademark and a plan for action to help you succeed.

What is the best franchise industry? Is it really a sandwich franchise? The increased time spent working and two earning families mean more meals eaten outside the home, with people eating away from home an average of 22 times per month. The Washington Post did research that concluded the sandwich restaurants and businesses made well over 100 billion. Food items are the fastest growing restaurant food segment, with sales of quick serve sandwich retail restaurants going to billions of dollars per annum.

Why a franchise, and not just start their own sandwich shop from scratch? Because it's a way that has proven itself that experiences a much more rapid growth, and a franchise has a much higher rate of success than a business from scratch. For the average hungry person looking for lunch, recognizing a popular franchise restaurants makes life easier. They are happy that they won't have to guess at the quality and taste of the food. Common franchise names are letting the buyer know they will get what they want and that creates a built-in desire to visit the franchise. Franchising is not a new idea; starting about 150 years ago with franchise agreements between hotels and tap houses in Great Britian, and into the early 30s Howard Johnson's, and eventually into the 1950s with McDonalds fast food franchise. Consumers recognizing your brand name is excellent for a new franchise.

Especially for first-time business franchise owner, a business franchise can increase the chances of success. Franchisors are experts in business, and how to operate a well run business. The franchise opportunity provides all the components and know-how. The franchise owner provides the front person, and everything else. Excellent support is often a given from your franchisor in all the ways you need it most. Finding the best site for your restaurant or shop, for example, is is one of the most crucial factors. Franchise opportunities assist in picking a perfect spot. Franchisors are familiar with zoning and building codes and other land site-concerned topics. During construction, the franchise company can help with building specs, environmental issues and pre-approved suppliers of equipment, furnishings and signage. Provided by the franchisor should be one-stop supply of food, paper, cleaning supplies-and everything else you will need to operate on a daily basis. Opening manuals specify pre-opening processes for all business processes. Operations books set standards for how to run the customer service, quality, and cleanliness areas of the business. Management education teaches important skills and human resources. Sometime after your sandwich franchise is open, frequent visits from the franchise company offer people development, marketing guidance and advertising assistance. Some examples of marketing are advertising your franchise on the radio, in-store free giveaways, ads in the newspaper and other promos.

Which kind of sandwich franchising opportunity should you look at buying? According to a recent study, What the average person is seeking has diversified to something bigger than fast food and fine dining. Sandwich franchise opportunities have been growing at a rate of more than fifteen percent a year which is higher than ever before. The sandwich franchise has arrived. A different area, the fast-dining service restaurant, has recently emerged as a niche between traditional fast food and casual dining restaurants.

To research sandwich franchise choices, a trip to the mall and a cruise through the restaurant section of any town will reveal miles of real estate devoted to food franchises and more and more of sub shops, coffee shop restaurants and sandwich restaurants with something for everyone with options like pita wrap shops.

Then how much bread does a sandwich franchise demand? Existing businesses generally cost more than a new franchise. Buying a franchise is almost always less pricey. And if you are anxious to get started soon, you save time with a franchise, too: some experts suggest a complex and comprehensive intern position in a franchise industry prior to purchasing your own franchise. Purchasing a franchise makes you the top dog running his own business at once. And supported by a support network of pros, the chances of failure decrease.

For a greater opportunity of making it, quicker sales growth curve, and and writing and working through the business plan, you'll need to have the initial franchise fee payment ready that's often around ten thousand to twenty five thousand dollars, and then a part of the sales to use the franchises name and a process for the franchise business. A substantial amount of cash will then be used for rentals, improvements on the property, fixtures and equipment, the beginning inventory and food stock, advertising to inform the public you are open, and signs. To pay for the cost of your new franchise, you may find financing available through outside sources like, banks and financial institutions. Banks are familiar with the real estate and fixtures and equipment needs of franchise food operations, and their relatively high revenue.

It's not all a walk in the park when owning a sandwich franchise. While the sandwich industry may appear to be an easy easy business for an entrepreneur, it's not always very simple. The most momentous issue is seeking out and then finding qualified employees. Most food businesses require the services of low-paid workers, and these minimum wage workers are often not worth the cost and leave without notice creating a high turnover rate.

Another challenge may be low profits. A franchisee has employee cost and the cost of the raw products to pay for, in a place that's very price sensitive. Net margins of many food franchises are not what most think. You'll also be dealing with spoilage and theft.

Setting up a night operated franchise business can be a giant challenge, also. Although you may have many customers at lunch, the hard part is developing hungry clients the all day. And finally, the process of owning a food franchise needs much food prep, and this creates an uninterrupted concern over food preparation regulations.

Is a sandwich business franchise for you? Going into a new business is a life-changing prospect, but a sandwich franchise can be one of the most fun businesses to own. An advantage over other food franchises, sandwiches are simple to put together, and this means that sandwich business ideal for people that don't know much about running a restaurant. Computers track inventory, labor costs, and product purchases. And because much of the food comes set up, the average sandwich shop doesn't need a a lot of dough for expensive and bulking frying equipment and ovens.

While you may not have to know everything about cooking, other personal and financial factors go into the decision of buying a sandwich franchise. You are required to to establish financial management ability to own and run a franchise. You need knowledge of business and some solid life experience, a determination for success, and an entrepreneurial spirit. Great people skills and relating to employees matter, also.

Abstract things like these can be hard to understand. How do you find out if you have them? One popular technique, and the procedure that is usually required by a lot of franchisors, is to spend some time working in a sandwich franchise until you've got some solid sandwich franchise experience to understand for sure-at least a few weeks. Most prefer to know for sure-and before investing tons of money-if this business is right for you.

Got the blend of skills and aptitude to make the small business work? If you answered yes, a sandwich franchise can be very rewarding. You can buy into a sandwich franchise without being on your own, with low fees, shorter time frame for success, and constant advertising and sales assistance. With determination and business sophistication, a franchise business owner can become a prominent member of the franchise community, add money to the economy through jobs for locals in a good working area, all while making yourself rich.
