SHIFT #2 & #3 - Food & Equipment

  • ● Shift 2 & 3 you will be teaching your new hire(s) all about food handling and Shelby’s recipes. We adopt a “Tell, Show, Do and Review” system for all food training.

  • ○ TELL - verbally communicate how an item is made

  • ○ SHOW - Make the item yourself, show off your skills!

  • ○ DO - Allow the staff member to make the item, stay with them and guide them

  • ○ REVIEW - Let them know how they did, notes on improving

  • ● These shifts are the perfect time to instil good habits in your employees, remind them of clocking in and out (breaks), enforce the standard of daily temperature logs and develop an environment of constant hand washing and sanitation practices. “If there is time to lean there is time to clean”

  • ● This is also the time to train your new hire(s) on time maintenance, multitasking and prioritising (ex. what to do when busy and only 2 people working – how to make sure you are thinking of everything to make the busy time efficient)

  • ● Take the time to show your opening and closing checklists, walk through the line and show them how the list and cleaning pertains to each station, point out dangers and sensitivities as you go. (tell them which shift they will likely be on and explain what to do on their 1st opening or closing shift)

  • ● Food training should be focused on making our most common items – using cheat sheets or KDS i-option

  • ● By the end of shift #3 Your new hire(s) should be comfortable making most items on our core menu.

  • Review the “training checklist” and make sure you are on track to have all the boxes checked at the end of each day

SHIFT #4 - Are they ready to go?? (food focus should be Signatures)

  • Today you will be finalising your staff’s basic training package. By the end of this day your staff should be fully trained and ready to work on their own. Take this time to start stepping back and allowing them to work independently

  • Stay nearby and support them, encouraging them to ask you and others questions continually

  • Can they make all menu items to spec and within timing standards? With proper measuring tools

  • Can they do temperature checks w/ actions for bad temps? (and know what to do when health inspector comes)

  • Can they multitask & prioritize during busy times? (this is VERY important!) Clean first, restock/do pre-close duties. Always clean from a guest EYES view.

  • POS Training - Can your staff ring in items correctly? (both menus?) Can they process gift cards/loyalty? How do you refresh the screen? How do I put an item sold out?

  • Make a list of what things this employee still needs to work on – follow up (after 7 days and 14 days)

  • Although this rounds off your employee’s training, keep in mind that we never stop teaching. A good employer is also a great teacher - keeping up with employee reviews and regular check-ins with staff will improve overall productivity, morale, food quality and give you the peace of mind that your restaurant is running smoothly and efficiently
