First-Time Supervisor Guide for Hospitality: New Supervisor Training Guide for Hotels and Restaurants

Full description

For staff who have just been promoted to supervisor, team leader or shift leader in a hotel, restaurant or bar, and for managers who coach them. The guide explains what changes when you lead former colleagues, then gives you a daily routine, a briefing format, steps for delegation, feedback and conflict, scheduling basics and a clear way to report problems up. Twenty common shift situations come with what to do and what to say, followed by a 30-day plan and a self-check you can review with your manager.

Save with a bundle: this template is also in the Hotel People & Leadership Bundle, 10 templates for $29 instead of $69. All 141 templates are in the All-Access Hospitality Template Library for $79.
