Tricks for Hiring to Avoid Firing: Sound advice and real life solutions

Posted on March 21, 2008 at 6:05pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Looking for a reliable general manager is an overwhelming task. And if you can't recruit from within, I have some tricks for finding someone who fits.

First, you have to find candidates. You can try management recruiters, newspaper ads and so forth. But you don't usually have the luxury of a lot of lead time, which suits these two options the best. To get candidates in a more timely manner, try the Internet. Post your position on places such as Monster, Career Builder and Craig's… Continue

Think and Observe Like a Guest (Independent Operator Tips)

Posted on January 8, 2008 at 9:46am 1 Comment 0 Likes

Owners and general managers should use all their senses and be total

sponges of what is going on in their restaurant. One method is to

make hourly perimeter checks that begin with walking the outside

of your restaurant just like a guest patron arriving for the first time.

This enables you to have a guest's perspective of the total

restaurant experience. After all, your diners begin forming

impressions the minute they drive into your parking lot.

Do All Operators Follow Federal Law to Truncate Credit Card Receipt Data?

Posted on January 4, 2008 at 5:43pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

What’s on the credit and debit card receipts you give your customers? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, says it’s time for companies to check their receipts and make sure they’re complying with a law that’s been in effect for all businesses since December 1, 2006.

According to the federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA), the electronically printed credit and debit card receipts you give your customers must shorten — or…

At 7:28pm on March 12, 2009, Rick Greene said…: Hello Tony,
I would like to personally invite you to my site...YouGottaMenu.com!! Its a place where you can advertise your business, promote your special events & invite your customers there to blog about food related events. Your customers will also be able to exchange recipes, join groups and interact with other food customers from around the world!! It's a different concept, but I think that's the draw. I am very excited about the future of this site. My company (Goins Enterprises) is currently launching a national campaign to promote this website. We feel that as we are promoting nationally, our members should promote to their own customers. I think that this site will give "Ellen Giminski" of Denver, the opportunity to experience your establishment & browse your menu and pictures. This will entice Mrs. Giminski to visit your establishment on her next trip. This, (I think) is a great formula for giving your customers a more intimate
look at your establishment.

We have also designated a place on the Home Page where we will doing "Close Ups" on Restaurants, Chefs & Special Events. Please stop by and take a look. Please contact me with any comments or constructive criticisms.
