CHART Talks: "Brief Blasts of Brilliance" #30 - Training Until They Can’t Get it Wrong
by TJ Schier, President/Founder, SMART Restaurant Group and Which Wich Franchisee
Add legs to your training effectiveness by utilizing simple, inexpensive ways to create "what is needed, where it’s needed, when it’s needed.” Gone are the days of the 3-inch training binders we had hoped new employees would read at least once. We now need to look at how employees are getting their information and use that technology to train and continually re-train them.
During my CHART Talks session in Charleston, I shared the new app we created to engage our employees and share our culture. We put information, including our training videos, on the app so they can watch and learn in the palm of their hands. View my 9-minute video and get your entire team on the same page.

You Get What You (Don’t) Pay For
by Patrick Yearout, FMP, CHT, Director of Recruiting and Training, Ivar's & Kidd Valley Restaurants
When I got my start in the world of hospitality training back in 1999, I was given a very tight budget in my role as Ivar’s Training Manager. For the different workshops I was tasked with creating, for example, the company would pay for the attendees’ time in the session, and I could use one of our banquet rooms without being charged, but those were the only costs that were covered. Everything else, including training props, flipcharts and easels, prizes, and snacks, were not included, so I either had to 1) pay for them myself, or 2) rely heavily on whatever free stuff I could get my hands on…and eventually I became pretty good at the latter option.
More than 15 years have passed since that time and thankfully my budget has grown considerably, but I still try to seek out no-cost training resources to help keep my expenses as low as possible. Below is a list of 10 of my favorite sources of freebies that I would like to share with you: Read more.
