We love what Tonya Spada-Dixon, RDN, LDN said in Foodservice Director. Team members must understand the “why” behind their work. When team members understand the “why”: ➞ Increased compliance: Sometimes the “right” way takes longer. Understanding why behind the method encourages team members to not cut corners. ➞ Increased employee satisfaction: Employees find more purpose in their work when they understand the impact they have on patients and guests. ➞ Increased innovation: Awareness of all the moving parts can spark new ideas for how to solve a problem or make things run better. Leaders also must understand what they’re asking of their team. We put all of our leaders through team member training. We’ve seen that after training, our leaders are: ➞ Better problem solvers: They can look at issues from all levels, from team members to managing up, and find solutions. ➞ More empathetic and understanding: Our team members’ work isn’t easy, and compassion is crucial to a positive work environment. ➞ Greater communicators: A deeper understanding of the ins and outs of team members’ responsibilities grows their ability to explain tasks and guide their teams to excellence. How does training impact your teams and leaders? Let us know in the comments! #OneHHS

How can you address the labor shortage in foodservice? Just add a dash of smarter product sourcing, a sprinkle of tech, and you'll end up with a recipe for creative menu items that require less steps to make yet have enough creative input to be truly yours. This was one of the topics of a presentation by foodservice expert Katherine Thompson, who spoke earlier this week at ECRM's Foodservice Session in Chicago on culinary trends and opportunities in commercial and institutional foodservice. By focusing on convenience and speed-scratch products, you can reduce the number of steps required to prepare menu items, which enables you to quickly train new staff (and we all know the turnaround at foodservice operations!), plus it frees up staff to focus on more value-added activities. By adding your own finishing touches, chefs can still tailor the meal to their particular operation and truly make it their own. Tech can also accomplish this, with co-bots that take the "busywork" out of the preparation process. One example is Chipotle Mexican Grill's Chippy, which helps fry tortilla chips. By freeing up staff from routine, easy-replicable tasks, they can focus more on serving customers. Check out the video below for more insights -- and be sure to check the ECRM Blog in the coming weeks for the presentation slides from Katie's educational session! #foodservice #restaurants #hospitality #ecrmrangeme Amanda Tomsik Sarah Davidson Michael Politz
