The Problem

  • Motivating staff: With diverse age groups and backgrounds, motivating and engaging employees can be challenging, leaders need to create a positive work environment, foster a sense of teamwork, and provide opportunities for recognition and development.
  • Communication and cultural sensitivity: Food service teams are often diverse in terms of age, ethnicity, and language, leaders must be effective communicators and culturally sensitive to ensure smooth operations and a positive work environment.
  • Conflict resolution: With diverse personalities and high-pressure situations, conflicts can arise, leaders need to be skilled at conflict resolution and create a culture of respect and understanding. 
  • Implementing new technologies: the industry is adopting new technologies such as online ordering systems, point-of-sale systems, and kitchen management systems,  leaders need the skills to evaluate and implement these technologies effectively.
