1 Cook-off challenge

A cook-off challenge is a fun and competitive way to test your team's culinary skills, creativity, and teamwork. You can divide your staff into groups and assign them a theme, a cuisine, or a mystery basket of ingredients. Then, give them a time limit and a budget to create a dish or a menu that they have to present and explain to the judges. The judges can be you, other managers, or even some loyal customers. The winning team can get a prize, a bonus, or a recognition. A cook-off challenge can boost your team's morale, confidence, and problem-solving abilities.

Incorporating a cook-off challenge adds an element of friendly competition and skill refinement. This challenge not only fosters creativity and camaraderie among team members but also provides an opportunity to showcase and improve culinary abilities. Together, these activities create a well-rounded approach to team building that strengthens the restaurant's performance by enhancing teamwork, communication, and culinary skills.

2 Role reversal

Role reversal is a simple but effective way to improve your team's empathy, understanding, and respect for each other. You can ask your staff to swap roles for a day or a shift, and experience what it's like to work in a different position. For example, you can ask your chefs to serve the customers, your servers to cook the food, or your managers to clean the dishes. This can help your team appreciate the challenges and responsibilities of each role, and learn new skills and perspectives. Role reversal can also enhance your team's communication and cooperation, and reduce conflicts and complaints.

3 Escape room

An escape room is a fun and exciting way to challenge your team's logic, creativity, and collaboration. You can book an escape room session at a nearby venue, or create your own in your restaurant. The idea is to lock your team in a themed room with puzzles, clues, and tasks that they have to solve within a time limit to escape. You can choose a theme that relates to your restaurant, such as a kitchen nightmare, a food critic, or a mystery ingredient. An escape room can improve your team's critical thinking, decision making, and trust.

4 Feedback session

A feedback session is a valuable way to improve your team's performance, learning, and growth. You can schedule regular feedback sessions with your staff, either individually or in groups, and give them constructive and honest feedback on their work. You can also ask them to give feedback to you and to each other, and encourage them to share their opinions, suggestions, and concerns. A feedback session can help your team identify their strengths and weaknesses, set goals and action plans, and resolve issues and misunderstandings.

5 Charity event

A charity event is a meaningful way to improve your team's social responsibility, generosity, and pride. You can organize a charity event with your staff, such as a fundraiser, a food drive, or a volunteer day, and support a local cause or organization that you care about. You can also involve your customers, suppliers, and partners in your charity event, and raise awareness and donations for your chosen cause. A charity event can help your team bond over a common purpose, give back to the community, and enhance your restaurant's reputation and image.

Here are my thoughts on this : Having a team member to share their unique expertise or knowledge with the rest of the team can be immensely beneficial. You not only highlight the distinct abilities of each member but also create a culture of collaboration and classroom-like learning. This is for individual growth but also to strengthen the collective knowledge base of the team, allows team members to appreciate and leverage each other's strengths, leading to a more cohesive and effective team dynamic. Moreover, teaching can deepen understanding and mastery of the subject matter for the presenting team member, while simultaneously providing insights and new perspectives for their colleagues.

Find the people who like's what they do. If you like your job, and all what goes with it, then you will not have problem's. But if you have staff, that is on job like broken, angry, rude.... There is nothing that you can do to change that.
