5. CEO’s Dish: Training New Employees

Taking the time to provide training to new employees as one of the ways to help decrease your rate of turnover. To succeed in a new job, employees need to know what duties they are expected to perform and the procedure used to perform those duties. When they have been adequately trained, employees feel more comfortable in their positions, and become more efficient and productive. If they feel good about themselves and their job performance, they are more likely to stick around longer.

7. Participate in Restaurants Against Hunger - October 19, 2004
Since 2001, over 100 restaurants in New York and surrounding areas have helped Action Against Hunger (AAH) by participating in Restaurants Against Hunger—inviting customers to have dinner in their establishments and donating a percentage of their profits to AAH. This year, the event will take place in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Boston. The event will be a win-win proposition for both participating restaurants and AAH.

• The event will be held on a Tuesday night, typically a slow night, in order to increase business for restaurants on that day.

• A minimum donation of 20% of sales for the night is requested in order to generate media coverage, provide high quality public relations for restaurants, and maximize donations for AAH.
