Hire Servers

Hiring servers at a bar or restaurant is a constant source of stress for busy owners and managers. With turnover rates over 70% at most restaurants, especially fast-food restaurants, finding new workers and training them up quickly is of the utmost importance.

How to hire servers more efficiently

Some ways to hire servers faster include utilizing internal referral programs with multiple bonuses (once when the new hire finishes training, once at the 3 month mark, etc), doing an “employee share” with neighboring businesses, and utilizing text messaging to coordinate interviews and follow ups. On that last point, restaurant managers see an uptick of server applications when using a “text to apply” system, as younger workers are more accustomed to use their mobile devices to job hunt.

How to retain servers

Retaining servers is another challenge, and for the best results, it really boils down to benefits. While it’s easy to suggest increasing their hourly wages, often that’s not possible. Instead, servers can become loyal to businesses that treat them well in other ways including flexible scheduling, paid time off, easy commutes, and the ability to climb the ladder and learn more skills. If a server knows that they are on the path to becoming a manager at a restaurant, they tend to stay longer and work harder at their job.

Servers expect safety during COVID-19

In today’s hiring climate, servers will also want to know that the business takes safety precautions seriously and have enough protective equipment for their workers. Include this information on job listings as well as your hiring portal to reassure potential employees and to address any questions they might have about current safety regulations.
