Bar Staffing
Think for a moment how important staffing is to your bar. To your customers, your bartenders, servers, and management represent a significant part of why they frequent you business. The type of interaction your staff has with your customers - whether good or bad - determines in large part whether your customers become loyal customers and continue to patronize your business again and again. Just as important, if you ever want to be able to "get away" from the business for a few days or longer, you need staff that is competent and well trained. Hiring and retaining quality employees is not as easy as it used to be. Bar owners need every advantage they can get in attracting and keeping those staff members that make their business run. We'll cover in this section how to attract quality people, how to train and motivate them, and include training manuals, a comprehensive employee handbook, and a wide range of employee forms that you can use to put straightforward systems into place to make managing your bartenders, servers, and other staff members much easier. We'll also give you proven techniques for achieving and maintaining proper staffing levels and tracking (and increasing) employee productivity through motivation methods that get results.
