Labor is the cost owners feel every week, and turnover makes it worse. This category covers the people side of the floor and the line: what to pay, how to write a posting that attracts the right cook or server, how to interview, and how to schedule and split tips without breaking federal rules.
The job descriptions are written per role rather than from one template, because a dishwasher, a line cook and a general manager are hired for different things. Pair each one with the matching salary guide before you post.
