Brigade systems used in both kitchen and dining rooms have clearly defined jobs.
Having clearly defined job descriptions keeps a restaurant organized.
A good manager creates an environment where everyone feels they have a distinct and measurable contribution to make within the organization.
Recruitment and retention of employees is easier with proper management.
