National Association Helps Restaurants Overcome Staffing Issues
CHARLESTON, S.C. (PRWEB) June 20, 2018 -- Charleston is a nationally recognized hub for some of the best dining experiences in America. But like most restaurants across the U.S., staffing, retention and employee performance are major areas of profit loss for establishment owners and managers.
In 2015, Serve Your City began helping hundreds of restaurants hire and retain better talent using best practices from the corporate world. Since then, the company grew as employers began to understand the value of investing in their employer brand. The success in Charleston provided the opportunity to expand the organization nationwide.
According to Jennifer Fort, Executive Director for Serve Your City, the organization has evolved into a National Association focused on helping restaurants reduce the high cost of poor hiring and unwanted turnover. “Restaurants are years behind employer branding best practices,” says Fort. “The average restaurant has a 65% turnover rate each year draining billions of dollars in profits industry-wide and damaging customer experience.”
Fort says, with the national expansion, Serve Your City will now help thousands of restaurants achieve employer branding success. “We have created a high value, low-cost membership for restaurants that for less than $6 a week could save them thousands of dollars per year by applying best practices in employer branding tactics,” says Fort.
Serve Your City offers every U.S. restaurant a free, public employer profile in their directory of over 700,000 establishments as well as a 14-day trial membership experience into the Serve Your City Online Success Center. Restaurant employers can access on-demand resources including:
1. A Q&A based forum where owners and managers can ask questions and get answers from a team of leading restaurant employer branding experts.
2. Exclusive content and best practices on employer branding tactics to help attract, retain and develop the best food and beverage talent.
3. Restaurant Connections where owners and managers can communicate with similar style and cuisine type establishments from around the nation.
4. Employee perks and discount programs that provide value to restaurant staff members.
“We are excited about the expansion of Serve Your City as a membership-based association as we help restaurants discover and apply employer branding best practices,” concluded Fort. “Every restaurant should start by claiming their free employer profile page and experience the value and return of building their employer brand.”
