To increase sales, I would analyze sales trends and identify peak hours. Implementing targeted marketing promotions, days with specials or community events can boost customer footfall during slower periods. Additionally, training staff in upselling techniques can also maximize sales.

In previous positions, I led a team through a busy event by creating clear roles and responsibilities. I kept the communication flowing, motivated team members, and ensured every challenge was met with a solution, resulting in a successful event and positive reviews from customers.

Prioritization is key in a fast-paced restaurant environment. I typically start by identifying urgent tasks that impact operations, delegate tasks based on the strengths of team members, and keep an ongoing checklist that helps ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

My approach to training new staff involves a combination of hands-on experience and structured education. I start with an overview of expectations and goals, followed by shadowing experienced employees and providing continuous feedback throughout their training process.

Fostering a positive work culture involves open communication, recognition of staff achievements, and creating opportunities for team bonding. I would encourage feedback, facilitate team meetings, and create a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and motivated.

Addressing underperformance begins with a one-on-one conversation to understand their challenges. I would provide constructive feedback and work together to develop a plan for improvement while offering necessary support. Frequent check-ins would ensure progress is being made.

I implement regular inventory checks, data analysis for forecasting demand, and staff training on portion control to reduce waste. Using efficient inventory management software helps track supplies and prevent overstocking or shortages.

My motivation comes from the desire to build impactful teams that create memorable experiences for customers. I thrive on challenges, value community engagement, and find fulfillment in developing employees into leaders who can potentially own their franchises in the future.
