What Makes a Great Restaurant Leader?

Jan 16, 2021

Leadership is an integral part of any organization. But what sets apart a successful business with a failing one can boil down to the quality of leadership. Whether you manage a family-owned office supply company or a quick-serve restaurant with 25 locations, a good leader can get you through a rough patch and support your team when times are better. A poor leader…well, you can put two and two together.

In a restaurant’s scenario, excellent leadership from a manager can result in a multitude of benefits:

  • Improved staff morale
  • Decreased turnover (which saves you time from recruiting and training)
  • Fewer errors
  • More efficient workflows
  • Decreased wait times for guests
  • Improved guest satisfaction
  • Increased profits

But what makes a great leader? What kind of traits, guidance, and other characteristics do they possess? In truth, an exceptional leader looks similar across all industries—they are thoughtful, organized, undeterred, strategic, systematic, fair, accountable,  empowering, goal-oriented, and loves working with people. The crux of good leadership comes from excellent training. However, in the hospitality industry, it is of utmost importance that systems are in place first.
