I can’t remember the exact quote or which general said it, but something along the lines of “Hospital Corners on your bed saves lives in the battle field.” Â Military officials are crazy about a well made bed because it does a couple things. Â For one, its the first task all soldiers do at the start of their day. Â Two, who do you want protecting you in the war, a guy who can’t make his bed properly or the guy that is responsible and has a sense of pride to make it perfect every day.
The pre-shift meeting is the same thing. Â It sets the standard for the day and allow you to ensure your team is up to standard. Â A well run pre-shit meeting sets the bar for the rest of the shift. Â Skip it and your shifts will be sloppy.
Action Item
Don’t worry about it being perfect and don’t give met he excuse that your staff come in at different time. Â The next shift after reading this post, have a 3 minute pre-shift. Â Make sure your staff is aware of specials, 86 items and all look great. Â Give them a a goal and quick pep talk. Â That its…make it a habit and watch your shifts improve.
