David Kaup Shares 4 Useful Restaurant Management Tips

David Kaup has been working in the food and beverage industry since his teenage years and has found success in many different restaurant management positions throughout his career. In his recent article 4 useful restaurant management tips, he lists the four most effective management tips that can be implemented immediately by anyone who manages a restaurant.


Make Your Staff Feel At Home

For businesses, employee turnover is a harsh reality. The average rate of turnover for companies worldwide is 75%, and hiring new staff comes at a cost to the employer. If you don't want your workforce to keep leaving, make them feel at home. Be sure to spend time with them outside of work, making sure they know how much they're appreciated. One way you can do this is by scheduling team-building exercises during work hours so employees can get to know each other on a more personal level and build strong bonds among themselves. David Kaup says: You'll be surprised how quickly people will bond if they share some laughs together.


Digitize Your Menu

Although a paper menu exists, customers now carry their smartphones with them and tend

to order online. Most of them are looking for some comfort foods that are not too expensive or heavy in calories. The challenge is to get them to look at your food in a different way, which means digitizing your menu.


Don't Neglect Marketing

Effective marketing is key to attracting new customers. If people don't know about your business, you won’t have any clients no matter how delicious your food is! Social media can be a great way for restaurants like yours to get the word out about what they offer their client. David Kaup recommends creating compelling content and posting it frequently on all of your social channels. He also mentions that using Facebook ads is a great way to reach potential customers and drive them back to your website or directly into your brick-and-mortar location.


Analyze Your Cash Flow

You must have a clear idea of your business's financial status. Monitor cash flow, track metrics, and see how much money your business is generating on a weekly-monthly-daily basis. It is important to try to understand your financial situation and avoid going bankrupt or into debt. It also helps you understand what is bringing in the most revenue and what needs improvement. David Kaup also suggests that you keep a close eye on your inventory levels by monitoring them with: Customer Surveys: Ask customers about their dining experience before they leave by asking for feedback about your restaurant's food, service, atmosphere, and value. Doing so will give your insight into what customers are thinking which can help you make changes to improve future visits.
