What makes a good restaurant manager?
Alisa Levina: “A good restaurant manager understands their work can be self-sacrificing. They wear a lot of hats and deal with a lot of variations like emotions and making ‘flying’ decisions. This requires a sense of intensity and light. Someone full of true energy and passion in the industry, who has been given the quality of the product that comes out of his restaurant, and who understands the importance of developing their staff… I can go on!”
Jordan Gibrick: “The best managers know that success is more than just scheduling, ordering products, and managing costs. Leading managers focus on their people! To develop a positive work environment, encourage employees to do their best, train and improve, and do their best to ensure that our guests have the best possible experience.”
Leanne Farley: “A successful restaurant manager, anyone in the restaurant industry, has to have a sense of staff leadership. They should genuinely desire to serve the guest, their staff, and their community. Being ‘hospitable’ is evident to those who do well in this fast-paced, flexible environment. You can positively recognize these qualities and do whatever happens.”
Kristin Albert: “Proud and arrogant, hospitable, communicative, professional and progressive, hardworking and successful, setting clear expectations and making employees and managers accountable, taking action, understanding how to build high-quality sales and hospitality, you understand you can control them how the cost and how the bottom line is affected. Their enthusiasm sets the tone for all the staff and the vibe in this restaurant.”
