What’s your labor state of affairs like? I’m prepared to guess it’s lower than excellent. That appears to be the case for almost each restaurant proprietor I’ve spoken to over the previous yr. From pizza to sizzling canine stands to high-quality eating, I hear the identical story time and again and over: “Nobody needs to work” or “I simply can’t discover assist.”
Nick Bogacz of Caliente Pizza & Draft Home in Pittsburgh is without doubt one of the nation’s most profitable operators. Just lately he was the visitor on an episode of our weekly podcast, The Hot Slice, the place he confessed to being at wit’s finish. Even he’s struggling to seek out dependable staff. That’s further irritating once you’re in progress mode.
Understaffed, overworked and overstressed is the present establishment. Similar to almost the whole lot else we’ve endured since early March of 2020, we’re deep within the weeds on this one. Your gross sales are up, but your labor pool is nonexistent and also you’re working 80 hours per week because of this.
But, as we emerge from the pandemic and resume one thing that resembles normalcy, enough staffing ranges are a necessity if we’re going to develop and proceed providing the extent of service for which this trade is thought.
It’s time to take a tough look within the mirror and consider your pay scale, advantages, coaching and retention measures. Get to the center of what makes your staff completely happy and fulfilled. I consider one of the best model ambassadors are enthusiastic staff. In the event that they publicly acknowledge how nice it’s to give you the results you want, others in want of an excellent gig will take discover. And one of the simplest ways to show your staff into evangelists to your pizzeria is to ensure your work surroundings is second to none.
You probably have figured this out in your market and are attracting staff whereas everybody else is hanging the “Assist Needed” check in desperation, you’re in an enviable place. You even have a chance to assist your friends nationwide. Shoot me an e-mail and let me know what’s working for you!
