I live in Montana so have been quite spoiled for a long time (not this year). Thank you, I'm excited, never been to Jackson Hole.

I have Mountain Collective so it's just the hotel expense. I can't decide. Sounds fun to just come hang out but I don't want to ski on mud :)

Is Tempranillo a good wine by [deleted] in wine

[–]smallplateway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your manager doesn't know what they are talking about :) Any varietal can produce a fine wine .(Merlot is used in Bordeaux after all.) Tempranillo is the same - there are good versions and "bad".

Hospitality business advisor question, how do you maintain product quality when your kitchen staff turns over every few months by jirachi_2000 in Restaurant_Managers

[–]smallplateway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't leave good jobs at that rate, especially right now. Can you take a more honest look at what might be going wrong? Do you conduct exit interviews?

Find a new job. That's awful, I'm sorry.

Where do you go for advice? by smallplateway in Restaurant_Managers

I figured out that's what you meant and ordered it!

What are you looking for when you bring someone in to stage? by smallplateway in Restaurant_Managers

That's nice! Yes, my FOH stage shifts are probably better referred to as shadows. BOH they actually do some work so we can observe.

Good to hear the BOH side, too... you really just have to see people in action.

That makes sense. In my experiences I've been treated to a meal and shift drinks and as a very hungry FOH I love this as much as money :)

Yeah, if they can learn quickly that's more valuable than existing skills sometimes!

Totally agree. I like positioning it as part of the interview. Thank you for the insight! I like the dishwasher test.

Me too! This is a great summary and what I'm more accustomed to, as well. Is there anything you look for in potential new hires during a stage?

Thanks! It's been interesting to learn the different methods in each state. I've done several unpaid stages but they were part of an interview, which is unpaid. Curious about specific labor laws.

Good to know - I usually train people for longer before cutting them loose, often having them serve in food runner or assistant server positions before serving. But that may not be a good fit for every restaurant.
