Listening to customer feedback and making adjustments in operations are essential to your success and the restaurant's reputation.

To improve customer satisfaction as a General Manager, I would focus on training staff adequately to ensure high-quality service, implement regular customer feedback mechanisms, and address any service issues promptly. Motivating my team to exceed customer expectations through rewards or recognition programs would also be part of the strategy.

Handling staff conflict requires a calm and objective approach. I would first speak privately with each party involved to understand their perspectives. Then, I’d facilitate a meeting to address the issue collectively, focusing on solutions rather than blame, with the goal of restoring a harmonious working environment.

In my previous roles, I have successfully managed costs and finances by implementing strict inventory controls, analyzing sales data, and creating budgets that align with business goals. I prioritize regular financial reviews to ensure profitability and identify areas for cost reduction without sacrificing quality.

During peak hours, motivating my team would involve maintaining open communication, celebrating small victories, and encouraging teamwork. I would also ensure they have the necessary tools and resources to succeed, possibly introducing team incentives to make the rush more engaging.

Ensuring food safety and quality starts with staff training on proper food handling procedures and regular monitoring of food storage and preparation practices. I would establish daily checklists for compliance and conduct regular audits to enforce standards and protect our customers’ health.

Sure! In my previous role, I led a local marketing campaign that included targeted social media advertising and community events. By partnering with local schools and organizations, we raised awareness about our restaurant, resulting in a significant increase in foot traffic and sales within the first month.

I plan staffing and shifts based on peak business hours, employee availability, and anticipated customer volume. Utilizing scheduling software and regularly communicating with my team allows me to make adjustments as needed, ensuring we are well-staffed to meet customer demand while also considering employees' work-life balance.

My approach to training new staff centers on hands-on learning and mentorship. I believe in a structured onboarding process where new hires shadow experienced employees, followed by supervised practice. This enables them to gain confidence while also understanding the importance of teamwork and our customer service expectations.

To maintain a competitive edge, I stay informed about industry trends, actively seek customer feedback, and regularly evaluate our menu and pricing strategies. I also emphasize excellent service and community engagement, ensuring we build strong relationships with our customers and adapt to their needs.

If sales targets are not being met, I would conduct a thorough analysis of sales data to identify potential causes. Based on insights gained, I would develop and implement an action plan that might include promotional activities, revising marketing strategies, and enhancing staff training focused on upselling and customer engagement.
