How to Get Your Gen Z Employees Read & Follow Your Manual
Here are four fundamental factors that greatly will increase your ability to get your franchisees and their Gen Z teams to actually read and use the manual, and any other relevant information.
?
Upgrade your?Manual to a Brand Knowledge-DataBase because that’s a more accurate description of what it actually is.
?
1. Information and instructions has to be updated, relevant and in sync with how your business is run today. It’s an ongoing process where agility is crucial.?Papers, binders and packed file servers just won’t cut it. It’s a Knowledge-DataBase.
?
2. It has to be easily available then and there it’s needed, which today means in the cloud, on mobile devices and highly searchable.
?
3. The information has to be targeted, meaning the right information/sections are available to people according to their?Role/Function/Position.
?
4. You need to be able to verify that it actually gets read. Not just that it was handed over or “sent”. And take action on non-compliance.

Chipotle Mexican Grill?has also invested in the El Segundo-based firm as a part of the $50 million venture fund dubbed Cultivate Next.

“Our purpose as a robotic company is to leverage automation technology to give workers more flexibility in their day-to-day work,”?Vebu?Chief Executive?Buck Jordan?said in a statement.
?
The current prep time for making guacamole by hand is approximately 50 minutes and Vebu aims to cut that time by 50% with Autocado.
?
Another goal is for the robot to “use machine learning and sensor fusion to evaluate the quality of the avocados and quantify waste reduction.”
?
“We are committed to exploring collaborative robotics to drive efficiencies and ease pain points for our employees,” Chipotle’s Chief Customer and Technology Officer?Curt Garner?said.

"Red Robin Gourmet Burgers is getting out of the virtual brand business.
?
The 500-unit chain will no longer use delivery-only add-ons like MrBeast Burger in its restaurants as it focuses more on its own concept.
?
“We’re gonna be focused on the Red Robin brand,” CEO GJ Hart said in an interview this week.?
?
“We are exiting all the virtual brands.”
?
That includes MrBeast Burger as well as three brands Red Robin created: Chicken Sammy’s, The Wing Dept. and Fresh Set.
?
But the move will primarily affect MrBeast Burger, the large, delivery-only burger brand tied to famous YouTuber MrBeast.?
?
Many of Red Robin’s restaurants used the brand as a supplementary revenue stream, making it a key partner for the roughly 2,000-unit MrBeast Burger.
?
It’s the latest setback for MrBeast Burger, which is also facing a crisis of confidence from MrBeast himself. In now-deleted tweets last month, MrBeast criticized the brand for a lack of quality control and said he was “moving on” from it."
