The right team can elevate your guest experience. But the wrong staffing choices? They can damage your brand, create chaos on the floor, and increase turnover. Here are the most common hospitality staffing mistakes we see—and how to avoid them.
Top 3 Mistakes
-
Hiring for Speed Over Fit: Rushed hiring often results in poorly matched staff who don’t reflect your service standards or company culture.
-
Neglecting Ongoing Training: Even seasoned staff need refreshers. Without training, service becomes inconsistent, and employee confidence drops.
-
Failing to Plan for Peak Periods: Underestimating demand during the holidays or event season leads to overwhelmed staff and unhappy guests.
