How To Stop Your Restaurant Employees From Quitting - Simple Tips To Increase Retention

Your most reliable employees might be planning their exit right now, but you can still keep them if you know the warning signs.

In this episode of the Restaurant Growth Accelerator podcast, hosts Andrew Scott and Dave Doyle tackle one of the most frustrating challenges restaurant owners face: employee turnover.

Drawing from their combined decades of experience, they reveal that most employees start thinking about quitting 4-6 weeks before they actually leave, giving owners a critical window to intervene.

The hosts share a powerful system of meetings that not only helps identify issues early - but actually saves time in the long run.

Andrew and Dave also discuss reasons why good employees leave, the importance of tracking when and why people leave, and implementing proper feedback systems.

You’ll hear about how to decide how much to pay your team - along with practical examples from their own businesses.
