* Encountering congested areas,
slowing service.
* Performing repetitive tasks.
Solutions might be obvious, such as
relocating work stations or getting the
right equipment to perform the job
more efficiently. Other solutions can be
harder to spot, but can be implemented
with changes that are often easy and
surprisingly kind to your bottom line.
As you review your operation, assess
whether these changes could help:
* Organizing kitchen, storage, serving,
and dining areas.
* Using technology to increase
efficiency.
* Ensuring you have enough supplies.
* Scheduling prep before service vs. at
mealtime.
* Utilizing cooking styles such as batch
cooking and cook-chill.
Designing workstations so employees
take the fewest steps, have equipment
within reach, and have enough space to
do their work improves their efficiency
and output. If you free up just 30
minutes a shift from two people a day,
you create 30 hours of new and free
labor per month.
PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE
Everyone from the dishwasher to the
managers can suggest ideas to improve
efficiency. Empowerment gives
them skin in the game, and engaged
employees stick around longer,
reducing turnover costs.
AS A MANAGER, YOU
MUST BE PURPOSEFUL
to focus on the team
members' needs. Everyone
benefits from a clear set of
guidelines, regular training,
and a sense of empowerment.
As a manager, you must
be purposeful to focus on

Everyone benefits from a clear set of
guidelines, regular training, and a
sense of empowerment. In the right
amount, these engagement strategies
work together to achieve peak
performance.
When you focus on processes and
people together, the result can be huge
dollar savings and a quality foodservice
program. Asking " Why? " questions
and drilling down to find opportunities
for efficiency starts with employees
who know expectations, have been
well trained, and feel empowered to
perform. E
