Educate, Motivate & Train

Good foodservice depends on professionalism. It can be and should be a rewarding career from the entry level worker to the local manager and owners.

A lack of motivation at the service level is often twinned with training and education investments or lack thereof. If no one takes the time to make the job important then there is no component task that is important. Where tasks like handwashing are trivialized, don't expect training to change their behaviors.
