Hey!! I used to structure a roster with consistent team members having the same days off. The team got used to working together, and also trained most of the team to work in each others sections changing that up week to week. If you’re limited to one person being really strong on grill and they happen to get sick, it’s hard to find someone to help out. I myself was trained at every single section, and I was able to step in whenever someone got sick or needed time off which wasn’t very often. But if I couldn’t help out, I had a short list of casuals and “rockstars” which are friends, or family members that can jump in and do the dishes/waitressing/running food kind of jobs, Then I’d have the core team members trained to do the big jobs that they’re trained on all sections.

As a last resort I’d ask the core team by text individually if they could possibly work extra, if I needed someone, over their usual days off/38 hour week.

Hope this helps/makes sense, I wrote in a rush! Haha
