The Art of the Power Shift

As our industry grows more complex and competitive, there’s an ever-increasing need to show managers how to realistically lead, rather than merely “manage”, the complex skills of people, performance and profitability within the framework of the typical 8-10 hour Shift.

This program will teach Unit Managers (and Multi-Unit Managers) the why, what and how of revenue-generating shift leadership in an increasingly competitive marketplace. The program content is based on detailed new research with over 480 high-performing General Managers who shared their best practices relative to planning and executing the revenue-driven, service-energizing and team-building shift. The program will combine lecture, video, discussion and shift “case studies” to measurably improve performance of both your new and “veteran” managers. This presentation is guaranteed—in writing--to increase sales, reduce costs, and measurably improve service.

Target Audience

General Managers, Assistant Managers, Shift Leaders, Multi-Unit Managers, Executives, Owners, Franchisees at QSR, Casual, Family, Fine Dining, Contract Foodservice, or retail operations.

Format

This presentation can be delivered in 90 Minute, 2 Hour, Half-Day, or Full-Day format.

Takeaways

Team will leave the session with the following skills (or reinforcement of these skills):

• Service, Selling, Cost Control: we’ll learn how to measurably improve service delivery, lower costs and increase incremental sales a minimum of 1% to 3%
• We’ll detail EXACTLY what the best managers do BEFORE, DURING and AFTER a busy shift
• Goal-Setting: how to peg period goals to shift execution and objectives
• The Rush: we’ll detail how to prevent fires and stay in control, rather than in the “weeds”
• Shift Architecture: Understand the characteristics and consequences of a bad shift versus an ideal shift and the role leadership plays in its execution
• Experience Shaping: How to teach your team to think and execute with the mindset of an owner and the focus of a guest.
• Best Practices: we’ll review the right and wrong ways to capture and share relevant shift information with other managers and owners
• Execution: ideas are easy, execution is hard. This program will detail a specific roadmap for the next 14, 30, and 90 days to implement and use the ideas we learn (and share) in this dynamic presentation.
