Restaurant Managers: cellphone use and productivity
Hi all
Pretty new to this stuff. My husband owns a sushi restaurant and I am trying to help and co-manage as much as I can.
I’ve had some employees report that other employees have been on their phone alot, and I confirmed by checking the cameras. We have one guy that has a lot of experience but is intentionally slow when making food. He sits on his phone a lot but he does a great job of prep/execution/. I feel like this makes a dynamic where some work harder than others and it will eventually be toxic.
Sort of at a loss of what to do. I am thinking about tracking orders with receipt spikes and also creating a task list of things to do before checking phones
I don’t really care if they use their phone, I don’t want to crack the whip and attempt to command them to not use it, but I just want to assert that things need to be done before we check phones, etc
