How to Properly Staff a Restaurant

Good restaurant staffing means having the right number of employees scheduled when you need them. We know, there’s nothing worse than planning and preparing for a big day, and then, once the important date comes along, you realize you’re understaffed. The menu is perfect, the restaurant looks great, and hungry customers are arriving in droves. You may wonder to yourself, how did this happen? Where is everybody? The likelihood is it wasn’t just one schedule that went wrong or just one oversight, but many missed details and opportunities along the way.
