Restaurant Social Media

I was wondering, Does anyone out there use employee websites? We're a small regional chain, and I'm looking into creating a website for our employees to use. I'm looking at creating a bulletin board type system, but also allowing them to create myspace/facebook style pages for them to express themselves. My ultimate goal would be to have an online community (like FohBoh) but for our employees to connect and allow us to monitor it. We'd also have training tools available. Anyone doing this now? Did you create it or use a solution off the shelf?

Side note: do you know what your employees are saying about your company on Facebook/Myspace? How many of you check it with frequency? Any tools you use other than just searching?

I would contact FOHBOH to have them build you a social meeting place for your company where they can access schdules, remain in communication, and you can cut them off if you have a angry ex employee. Chances it will help you keep old employees when they are moving back to the area or wanting to keep up. Great cultural building tool. Don't be afraid of what your people are saying, if they say it in your forum at least you get to hear it, your employees are hearing it from them directly right now, get in on the conversation.
Good luck
hi,

Do tell how you went about resolving this issue.
In my opinion you need the follwoing
1. a company website
2. a knowledge manager which is a restricted website and would be a great tool to place all your sop, internal coomuniaction video.
3. a comunity site: its is based on the premise that people on the bottom of the pyramid talk above and side ways. employee issues, customer issues, operation issues, all can be addressed and commented upon.
4. internal newsletter
5. wondering what people ( employee) say about your company and spend time and money to track it is not worth the foort.

a coomunity site can be a great toll to refelect on what kind of culture your oraganisation has. the stories people tell, allows criticism . It can be a tool to reinforce your compnay values. provided your organisiation knows them.

Your thoughts!!

I started a website called RestaurantScheduler.  I used google appengine there are tons of options from google that you can integrate pretty easily into your website if you are a programmer plus it is basically free to use.  Also you might want to take a look at phpBB and Joumla they probably already have a large set of tools working that you are looking for.  I am not sure about running either of those on google appengine but if it is possible you there is probably information out there on how to accomplish this.

Hey Jeremy,

I have been an employee scheduling consultant for a variety of industries including restaurants, hospitals, factories, call centers, you name it. In my experience, employers and business owners alike, want the ability to have open communication with their employees. I have found that EZShift's automatic scheduling software works best in this sense, because not only do they have an open forum where employees can stay in contact with each other, managers can stay in contact with them as well. When the shift manager publishes the schedule, they receive an email and text that the schedule has been put up. On top of these features, they can also swap or give shifts (this requires the managers approval of course).

Overall, the software takes your organization's needs and specifications into consideration as well as employees ranks, positions, limitations and automatically builds your schedule for you. Its impeccable rule engine eliminates mistakes and makes sure your schedule is flawless. To get more information visit the site at: www.ezshift.com.


Hope this information is still helpful! Contact me if you need any help.
