How To Train New Restaurant Employees

Step 1: The Welcome Wagon

Greet your new recruits with a warm "Welcome to the circus!"

Hand them a complimentary clown nose and a "How to Juggle Plates" manual.

Step 2: Kitchen Orientation

Show them the "Danger Zone" (aka the kitchen) and warn them about the resident fire-breathing chef.

Teach them the secret handshake for "I need a refill of napkins, stat!"

Step 3: Front of House Etiquette

Explain the importance of "the customer is always right," even when they're clearly wrong.

Demonstrate the art of "smiling through gritted teeth" when dealing with demanding patrons.

Step 4: Order Taking

Teach them the difference between "rare" and "well-done" (hint
it's not just the color of the steak).

Show them how to decipher the secret code of customer requests (e.g., "extra crispy" means "burn it to a crisp").

Step 5: Food Running

Explain the concept of "hot plates, cold drinks" and the importance of not spilling the soup on the customer's lap.

Teach them the "ninja stealth" technique for navigating through crowded dining rooms.

Step 6: Table Clearing

Show them how to remove plates without accidentally knocking over the water glasses.

Teach them the art of "the disappearing act" when the customer is still finishing their dessert.

Step 7: Closing Duties

Explain the importance of "mopping the floor, not the ceiling."

Show them how to clean the bathrooms without gagging (or using a gas mask).

Step 8: The Final Exam

Test their skills with a mock dinner rush, complete with screaming customers, spilled drinks, and a malfunctioning dishwasher.

Award them a "Golden Spatula" for passing with flying colors (or a "Rubber Chicken" for failing miserably).

Remember: Training new restaurant employees is like herding cats. It's a chaotic, unpredictable, and often hilarious adventure. But with a sense of humor and a lot of patience, you can turn them into the best servers, cooks, and dishwashers in town.
