The restaurant industry is notoriously dynamic. As the broader consumer market ebbs and flows, restaurants are consistently affected, as the first thing many customers “cut back” on spending is dining out, whether dining at a restaurant, ordering takeout, or placing delivery orders.
At the end of 2023 the National Restaurant Association reported that they expect the restaurant industry to add 200,000 jobs by the end of 2024.* The National Restaurant Association's projection underscores the resilience and potential of the restaurant industry. But with growth comes the need for effective staff management capabilities to ensure smooth operations and satisfied customers.
Challenges of Growth
Expanding operations means hiring more staff, managing their roles effectively, handling payroll accurately, and coordinating schedules efficiently. Failure to do so can result in overwhelmed and unhappy employees, payroll errors, scheduling conflicts, and ultimately, a negative impact on customer experience.
