The best hiring process is to promote from within. This not only creates goodwill within the operation, but also preserves the corporate culture and reduces training costs.

Adhering to these rules may be difficult because no one wants to be understaffed for very long, but patience will definitely pay off in the long run.
–Rule #1: Set specific times to accept applications
If you run a help wanted ad, state that applications will only be accepted at certain times on a few dates.

Kitchen Tips
Today’s tip is just a reminder to you but I have a little additional information that may be of some relief to some of you. As you know it is a MUST to wear your slip resistant shoes in the kitchen. This is for your own safety as well as a coworker you may stumble into while on your way down to the floor. Being on your feet a lot can become tiresome to you especially if you have or have had back and knee problems. Here is what I have found.
