Clear and to the point

September 16, 2025

As someone running a restaurant, time is of the essence. These trainings contain a lot of material and as stated by the course “mandatory training is never fun”. But I really enjoyed the clear and to the point material because over explaining can lead to a bit of second guessing and room to question, therefor more questions arise. Restaurants are black and white for the most part, and i found this training helpful in that way. Do’s and Don’ts. Be on your way. I recommend the manager training I took for anyone needing to get this done and needing to learn the content efficiently.
