How to Hire and Retain the Best Staff for Your Restaurant

By /

Introduction

Ek restaurant sirf owner se nahi, uske staff se chalta hai. Aapka menu kitna bhi bada kyun na ho, agar aapka waiter badtameez hai ya aapka chef unprofessional hai, toh aapka brand kabhi grow nahi karega. India mein hospitality industry ka sabse bada challenge hai “High Staff Turnover” (log jaldi naukri chhod dete hain).

Aaj main aapko batauga ki sahi team kaise banayein aur unhe apne sath kaise jode rakhein.

1. Hiring: Sirf Skill nahi, Attitude dekhein

Khana banana sikhaya ja sakta hai, lekin ‘Smiling Face’ aur ‘Hard Work’ nahi.

  • Tip: Interview ke waqt candidate se unki pichli problems ke bare mein puchein. Unka “Problem Solving” attitude check karein.

  • Sources: Local networking, referrals, aur digital platforms (LinkedIn/Indeed) ka sahi istemal karein.

2. Induction aur Training (SOPs)

Staff tabhi galti karta hai jab use pata hi nahi hota ki kya karna hai.

  • Training: Har naye staff ko pehle 3 din ki mandatory training dein.

  • SOP Book: Unhe ek manual dein jisme likha ho ki customer se kaise baat karni hai aur safai kaise rakhni hai.

3. Incentives aur Motivation

Staff tabhi rukega jab use lagega ki uska fayda hai.

  • Service Charge/Tips: Iska distribution transparent rakhein.

  • Employee of the Month: Chote-chote awards staff ka hausla badhate hain.

4. Communication is Key

Aksar staff isliye chhod deta hai kyunki kitchen mein communication gap hota hai.

  • Daily Briefing: Kaam shuru hone se pehle 5 minute ki meeting zarur karein.
