I LOVE that this restaurant took the time to produce this.  Clearly not a replacement for hands-on training, but a solid strategy to streamline the process.Do you think in-house video could help your restaurant's training efforts?Curiously Yours,James  See More

Personal Quote
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Biography
Senior Vice President of Sales, with 12 years experience as a training specialist, as well as designer and producer of media content. In my previous work, I implemented a number of programs which have been used in industries from manufacturing to hospitality. I worked to help large companies streamline their classroom-based training efforts by helping them transition from paper to data.
