New Year New Staff - What advice would you give?

Been working FoH for almost 8 years, and ive leaned a lot. Been trying to share my wisdom as a non manager.

Just curious what everyone has been telling their new staff, and share some advice in general.

Biggest thing has been develop a relationship with the members. Remember them, follow up with them on certain stuff. Don't chase what's on the tip line, chase connections

For people with previous restaurant expirence, quality over quantity. Don't feel as obligated to upsell. Say yes more than no. Put in the extra effort. For my club, know what we have but don't worry about liquor and wine knowledge.

For the people who this is their first job, learn and watch people as much as possible. Develop good habits now.

Building a better on-course ordering system for golf courses. Looking for early partner clubs/operators.

Hey everyone,

We’re building ParParty, a QR-based ordering and delivery platform designed specifically for golf courses and country clubs.

The flow is simple:

  • Golfer scans QR code on the cart
  • Orders food/drinks instantly
  • Kitchen/bar receives the order
  • Runner gets delivery location + hole number
  • No app download required

The goal isn’t to replace beverage carts or staff. It’s to help courses:

  • serve golfers faster
  • capture more missed orders
  • increase food & beverage revenue
  • increase staff tips
  • reduce operational friction during busy rounds

One thing we noticed early:
A lot of golfers want another drink or snack but never end up ordering because they don’t see the cart again for several holes.

We’re currently looking for a few early partner clubs/operators to help shape the platform before wider rollout.

Would love feedback from:

  • beverage cart staff
  • F&B managers
  • clubhouse managers
  • golf operations
  • course owners

Especially curious:

  • Would golfers at your course actually use this?
  • What operational issues would worry you most?
  • What POS systems are you currently using?
