Owning or operating a restaurant entails an incredible amount of work. The times, they are a changing and managements styles are changing with them as we march into the paperless world of the twenty-first century. Running a restaurant is more of a social event than ever before. The Internet age has brought with it a new era of employee education, awareness, and participation. Welcome to the world of social networking while you are at it.

The Unprecedented World of Hospitality

Today\’s employees know more about the inner workings of restaurant management than ever before. Cross training and inventory control demands are more stringent and employee awareness is increasingly vital to successful food inventory control and customer management than ever before. In this unprecedented world of knowledge, the more our employees understand and comply with this new style of management, the easier our increased level of success can be. The entire field of Hospitality has moved into the career minded students consciousness and has become an educational goal opportunity.

From The Ground Sideways

This means that bottom level employees are smarter and more sophisticated than ever before. In fact, it only makes sense that the college student, going to school with a degree of business in Hospitality and Tourism in mind should also learn the first hand workings of a hospitality establishment from the ground up. These employees are more valuable than ever before, making online training in a solutions management program an essential part of their entry training.

Our Computer Savvy Employment Pool

Today\’s smarter employee is also more socially conscious, again, thanks to the internet and social networking. The face of advertising has changed right along with the employment pool from which we choose our staff. The computer savvy employee is just as capable of manipulating an advertising venue as any seasoned ad executive. Understanding how today\’s networking has become far more than just expanding your business opportunities is as important as any other aspect of the hospitality industry.

Wireless Awareness And Social Networking

The ability to tweet our way into people\’s homes with specials, sales, and events, makes running a restaurant a more profitable prospect. The lines of demographics are far more clearly defined in this kind of advertising, giving us the ability to reach more than one target audience for more than one kind of event. This brings charitable events, once the cornerstone of our restaurants public image, into the new age of wireless awareness. Knowing who to tweet, who to Facebook or whom to auto respond to and with what exact information specific to each group is part of how we do business as well as how we advertise our intent.

Thank You Mr. President

Twenty years ago, we were lucky to find employees who were not simply passing through on their way to becoming a doctor, lawyer, or social outcast. Now, the employee who is flipping burgers as a fry cook could very well be our commander in chief twenty years into the future, if not something more important, like the CEO of a Hospitality chain that may then be run with a single Opera Management System and a knack for social networking. Welcome to the twenty first century.
