Frequently asked questions about staffing

Recruitment starts with the operation, not the vacancy

Before starting a search, we establish why the role is needed and which responsibilities the operation must cover. Some restaurants genuinely need another employee; in others, unclear roles, rota design or working methods make the need appear larger than it is.

The work can cover the role profile, search structure, candidate assessment, interviews, onboarding and management routines. We can also define an external head-chef or restaurant-manager function for a fixed period or transition, with a clear mandate and agreed operational tasks.

Team mapping reviews responsibilities, skills, hours, collaboration, workload and the tasks that remain dependent on the owner. The result is a practical decision on what to train, move, recruit or reorganise rather than a judgement of personalities.
