Digg it UP - Restaurant Owners - How Important are People Skills?
One of my favorite moments on any project is the moment when, after spending hours investigating a process, an exhausted interviewee gives an exasperated gasp and says “Well, that’s the way we’ve always done it!”Most companies with a long and storied corporate history have a similarly colorful s
A warm and friendly applicant with little experience is by far the better prospect.

The answer may lie with your people skills…
Why do people come to your restaurant? By now you should know why people frequent your restaurant…or at least you should know why they don’t.
They do not come for cheap food. It’s cheaper at home and there is certain to be cheaper restaurants than yours.
They certainly come to eat different foods that they cannot make at home but there are plenty of similar restaurants to yours.
So you will have worked out your “unique selling benefit” and you will have marketed that. They don’t come back and you have to discover what it is that is not providing the benefit that they were expecting.
Often the answer is with your people. Customers come for the total experience. It will not matter whether the food is excellent and the coffee outstanding if the waiting staff is unfriendly and distant. Their evening will have been ruined and they will not come back again.
When you employ front-of-house employees their technical skills are not as important as their attitude.
You can teach a person the technical skills but it is almost impossible to teach them to change their attitudes. If your applicant finds it difficult to smile during her interview then she is certain to be an unsmiling distant waitress. She is not for you.

Never give your staff a ‘dressing down’ in front of customers. It makes customers uncomfortable at best and downright angry if they have established a rapport with the staff member.
Your attitude toward staff should be one that leads them to better service and higher morale.
Will they ever need strong criticism? They sure will…but keep it between yourselves.
