Managing Employees in a Six-Foot Kitchen

Clear roles, a real time clock, and labor numbers you look at weekly.

In a truck, one unclear role costs you a whole rush. Write the stations down and assign them before you open, every service.

A real time clock is not about distrust, it is about knowing your labor percentage while you can still do something about it.

Review labor by shift and event weekly, then staff the next one from evidence instead of memory.

Pay people well and schedule them honestly — turnover is the most expensive line item nobody tracks.
