The importance of the basics. Over the years I have worked at several restaurants, potions from dishwasher to management. A few weeks back I eat at a restaurant for the first time. As soon as I entered the door there was a pungent oder I re-experienced it in the taste of the food. I remember my first job as a dishwasher and being introduced to the grease pit. A grease pit for those who do not know is a large usually metal container located in the floor near the dishwasher. This container needs to be manually cleaned out about every three months or so.

My aunts restaurant is falling apart: losing customers, high prices, poor quality of food, poor time management and staff turnover, no training for staff with handling food. These are my recommendations to her staff but she doesnt want me to tell her what to do

Hi. using your current staff to help train your newly hired staff can take a lot off of your plate if you have a really full schedule. Just make sure you ask competent staff to train the new staff.

Hello I just opened a little take out spot in Mexico. I have about 5 months since I opened it and at first sales were pretty good but started to go down the past 2 months. It's only me and my wife working here and to be honest it's a lot of work. I really need help on figuring out a smooth way to keep things in order and hire staff so we won't be exhausted working 12hr shifts everyday.

Is there a book that teaches you how to be the general manager of a restaurant? As in what you do on a daily basis and with clear examples.

As a kid with no restaurant experience, the manager in suite and tie would help me clean it out. It is not a glamorous part of restaurant work. However, it is vital.

Would you recommend that a person who wants to go into the restaurant industry do some job shadowing so they can get used to the processes etc?

Ciao Massimo mi trovo nel Sud Africa e vorrei sapere come dirigere ristoranti. Mi trovo senza lavoro attualmente e non ho mai lavorato in in ristorante da manager.

Even when cleaned regularly, it can hold some vicious orders. Without regular cleaning, this oder persuades everything, from the sent in the dinning room to the taste of the food.

Hello I just opened a resto-bar in Ecuador, I have little experience on this industry. I am trying to manage it the best I can. It has been 3 months since I opened and my sales report is low. I dont know what else to do.
Recomendations?

After this video I am considering to just hire aa restaurant manager instead of doing it myself. I would be involved but I think I would need help with all the tasks.
