Waiter Training Newsletter

 

Customized Servers’ Training Manuals

 The topic of this newsletter is customized servers’ training manuals, which also include manuals for the host/hostess and busperson positions.  I believe that, in conjunction with a complete and thorough orientation, your training manuals can be valuable tools in the proper training of your new and existing staff.  Generic manuals are available; customized manuals are for those who want a more detailed, business-specific manual for their employees.  Your restaurant's manual should be more personalized if it is to be used in conjunction with an orientation process.  Manuals used in an orientation process eliminate misunderstandings and create a clear picture of what is expected of employees.

 Many of my subscribers are simply too far away to benefit from a personal training.  The training video is still in the works.  We’ve had a few delays and setbacks, but it will be coming!  The manual and video do not have to be purchased together; they are mutually exclusive and can be used together if so desired.

 The manual that you request would be created based upon your specifications and needs.  The time to produce your manual should be approximately two weeks and would ultimately depend on how much information you want to incorporate.  There will be information common to all manuals that are highlighted below:

 

  q       Welcome and introduction to the company
q      
Brief history of company/owner
q      
Equal opportunity employment statement
q      
Sexual harassment statement with signature form
q      
Non-discrimination statement
q      
Pay periods
q      
Benefits/personal time/vacation time
q      
Health insurance (if applicable)
q      
Workers’ compensation statement with signature form
q      
FMLA statement (if applicable)
q      
Drug and alcohol statements with signature form
q      
Disciplinary concerns and actions
q      
State specific liquor laws
q       State specific labor laws (teens, etc.)
q      
Policies and procedures specific to your business
q      
Scheduling procedures

Cleanliness/hand-washing statement
q      
Tip reporting laws with signature form
q      
Job description and outline of duties (server, busperson, host)
q      
Emergency procedures
q      
Safety issues with signature form

 You will be able to download the manuals in PDF format or I can send you a CD-
Rom, which will contain the copyrighted manual.  Also, if you hire me to do an on-site training within one year of purchase of the manual, you will receive a 15% discount off your training fees.

 The manuals will be in English.  A fee will be added for translation services.

 I welcome your calls and/or emails regarding your manual.

 Excellence is an act won by training and habituation.
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence,
but rather we have those because we have acted rightly.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.
 - Aristotle
