Case study: Restaurant General Manager Success Story: how we found the perfect General Manager The goal: Our main aim was to nab a General Manager who totally gets the clients restaurant's vibe and can lead the crew to victory. You know, someone who's all about people, the food, and giving guests the time of their lives. The challenge: Building a top-notch management team – General Manager, Deputy General Manager, and Assistant Manager. The team had potential, but they needed a confident, caring captain to steer the ship. The game plan: Here's how we tackled it: We stayed in the loop with the clients Recruitment and Operations Managers to really get what they were after. We dug into our huge database and picked out candidates who matched up: close to the site, loads of management experience, spoke Spanish, and a mix of big brand and indie restaurant backgrounds. But we didn't stop there! We got creative – ads went up, we kicked off some LinkedIn action, and scoured other job boards to find even more rockstars. We had a good chat with these amazing candidates, pulling out their standout achievements and what makes them tick. We made sure they'd slide right into our client’s world. The big win: Guess what? The very first candidate we showed them was spot on for the General Manager role! **disclaimer this is an anomaly but sometimes we get it right first time! And guess what else? They said yes just a little over 2 weeks after we started the hunt. In those first 10 days, we sent 7 General Manager contenders. Across all positions, we reached out to 13 folks we thought would shine. Interviews for the junior management crew are right around the corner...

throughout my years of experience in the hospitality industry, I have witnessed a pattern that keeps repeating itself time after time in almost every hotel, restaurant, or other entity. This pattern is "promoting front-line staff to the supervisory level without proper preparation". Frontliners get promoted because of their competence in technical skills, to find themselves in need of another set of skills that no one has told them anything about it: The Human Relations Skills So they usually face a set of challenges that cause them Fear and high potential of failure: 1- Lack of management experience: they are experienced in performing their tasks but not in managing them. 2- Establishing Authority: especially with their yesterday's peers 3- Navigating relationships: with people who report to them and with the higher management. 4- Time management: how to organize the work and effort for a team, for other people, and not only myself. 5- Handling conflicts: this alone needs a whole new set of skills to handle interdepartmental conflicts and conflicts with other departments like the story of (kitchen vs service) in restaurants. 6- Setting expectations: how do I know how to set expectations for my team? based on what? and how to communicate them. 7- Decision making: with the promotion comes the time to make hard decisions, fast decisions, and unplanned decisions, and with no experience, these decisions might lead to mistakes, will you be going to hold responsibility for these mistakes and learn from them? 8- Effective communication: as a supervisor, you have to communicate well with YOUR TEAM - YOUR MANAGERS - YOUR CUSTOMERS. 9- Adapting to changes: Supervisors are responsible for adapting fast and leading their team through the difficulties of change. 10- Stress management: the hospitality industry is stressful, so how about managing it? These are the challenges that I think, newly appointed managers and supervisors will face in their new position.
