Your restaurant briefing is more than a meeting. It should be conducted before a service. It can make your team happier, more confident and your restaurant run smoother.

Your briefing at your restaurant should include:

  • Number of bookings
  • Assignment of tasks, sections
  • VIP/Special Guests
  • Group bookings
  • Special dietary needs
  • Food & Drink Specials
  • Non available items
  • Praise and constructive feedback
  • Short Training (Service etiquette/beverage/food knowledge)

Briefings should be consistent and no longer than 12-15 minutes. Team briefings will motivate your team, set them and your business up for success in the shift ahead.
