Hot off the press! We polled 1,500+ restaurant employees about what motivates them at work. They said their team is just as important as financial incentives. That means you can't ignore team-building activities and behaviors that harm your culture. Like Danny Meyer said, your restaurant has a culture, whether it's intentional or not. The employees also told us: - Why they quit restaurant jobs - What makes them stick around - How they like to be trained Restaurateurs like Danny Meyer (Founder of Union Square Hospitality Group & Shake Shack), Kwini Reed (Co-Owner at Poppy + Rose), and Chris Britt (COO at Epic Brands) weighed in on the findings. They shared actionable steps to have a happier, more engaged restaurant team. See some of the key insights here 👇
