Each job applicant will pass through evaluation and rating according to set standards designed for every position.

Management Team Gaps

At the start Victor and Joe will act in various management gaps. Moreover, with an increasing turnover of help for startup restaurants, we will rely on the family assist to come in where required until when we are good to go and we start making profits. However, Joe and Victor are planning to employ the sales and marketing director, a general manager, food and beverage manager and a kitchen manager.

To meet the payroll, inventory management, and cost accounting gaps, Victor and Joe will consider purchasing the POS (Point of Sale) that is meant to ease communications between the kitchen and wait staff as the orders will go through computer directly to the printer located in the kitchen. Additionally, POS system also acts as a tracker as it will track the food usage, to the most popular items in the menu. Moreover, POS reduces costs in preparations of payroll, and also helps in the daily operations of the business such as the development of profit and loss statement and sales tax.
