In my previous roles, I have focused on data-driven decision-making. By analyzing sales trends, I identified underperforming stores and implemented tailored marketing strategies and staff training to boost sales, which resulted in a measurable increase in revenue.

Consistency is key in the restaurant industry, so I ensure all managers are trained in standard operating procedures and hold regular meetings to discuss expectations. I also conduct scheduled visits to monitor compliance and provide feedback to ensure brand standards are met across all locations.

My management style is collaborative and supportive. I believe in involving team members in the decision-making process and encouraging their input, which fosters a positive work environment and boosts morale, ultimately leading to better customer service.

I approach underperforming team members with empathy and understanding. I make it a priority to communicate openly about performance issues, identify any barriers they're facing, and collaboratively develop an improvement plan with achievable goals.

I prioritize tasks based on urgency and impact on the bottom line. I use efficiency metrics to identify which stores need immediate attention and create a schedule that allows me to allocate my time effectively across all locations.

Customer feedback is invaluable. I actively encourage feedback by implementing regular surveys and reviews to gauge customer satisfaction. This information helps me identify areas for improvement, ensuring we continually enhance the dining experience.

Motivation comes from recognition and growth opportunities. I hold regular one-on-one meetings to acknowledge accomplishments and set career development goals, facilitating access to training programs and cross-training for team members to enhance their skills.

I ensure compliance with health and safety standards by conducting regular training workshops and audits. I emphasize the importance of hygiene practices and maintain a transparent environment where staff feel comfortable reporting issues.

I once faced a period of declining sales in multiple locations. I initiated a thorough analysis of operational practices, identified areas needing improvement, and rolled out actionable strategies focused on customer engagement and better employee training, which resulted in a positive turnaround within a few months.

I handle conflicts by encouraging open communication and mediation. I believe it’s important to listen to all parties involved, acknowledge their feelings, and work collaboratively towards a resolution that aligns with our company values and objectives.
