Run the show
Build teamwork in the front and back of the house
One of the best (and worst) things about hospitality work is the adrenaline. You might have a lunch rush, a check-in crunch or two last-minute eight-tops on top of a big banquet. The difference between energizing stress and soul-crushing stress? A great manager.
Train to be that cool-headed, long-sighted planner. Learn menu design, cost control and continuous improvement techniques. Polish your skills in the front and back of the house. Learn how to manage people and inventory. Then, let the rush begin.
