Why Is My Restaurant Failing? Why Is My Job Bad?
Ahmet Ozdemir- Coord. Executive Chef
Culinary training is one of the indispensable trainings for restaurant businesses today. In this regard, the subject of guest satisfaction-oriented trainings in restaurant management is a separate topic. Because today, there are restaurants with many different concepts.
According to New Food Trends and Restaurant Trends in Gastronomy in 2022 , every food and beverage business in the sector should receive the vocational training they need according to their restaurant concept. (
My Restaurant Failing) Vocational training required by both service personnel and kitchen staff in some restaurants is among the new trends.
Some of the Most Asked Questions in Many Restaurant Businesses are as follows;
* My turnovers are good but why am I not making a profit?
* Why do revenues not cover expenses?
* Why don't people choose my restaurant,
* What kind of cook should I hire?
* Why am I not a wanted restaurant?
* Why are so many personnel changing?
* Why do cooks quit?
* Why am I getting so many complaints?

* Why is my restaurant failing?
* Why don't guests come to my restaurant?
* How do I make money in my restaurant?

What Is The Question Employers Never Ask Themselves In Many Restaurant Businesses?
"Why am I doing so well at my restaurant?"
Especially after the Small Opening "Small Opening" program, the restaurant establishments that work for the Grand Opening "Grand Opening" program are shaking their guests with an air of testing. Relevant restaurant managements are trying to have the Best Restaurants in the City while investigating the criteria among the Reasons for Guests to Prefer Restaurants .
Restaurant managers, who try to accept guests by forgetting the limitations of their infrastructure, relying on the features of both Menu Designs and Restaurant Concept Varieties, without taking into account the training of the kitchen and service department, are not aware that they are drifting towards an abyss in reality...
The energy spent personally by the kitchen chefs working with devotion on Kitchen Planning and the Relationship of the Main Kitchen with Other Departments is not sustainable, and as soon as the kitchen organization, which is not supported in the restaurant management circular, reaches a certain limit, it will be reflected in the Survey and Forms and the business will lose guests.
Even though the officials in the current Restaurant Management will realize that they have made one of the most common mistakes when opening a restaurant in order to become a permanent restaurant owner , when the guests come back after the grand opening, the termination of their jobs by the chefs they consider unsuccessful will not only bring new problems to the business. .
Although such problems, especially in the chain Marka Restaurant , are reflected in all the restaurants of the chain and come to the central management within 3-4 months and are determined by the necessary restaurant consultants and operator blindness experts, there is still time for success-oriented treatment.
What Should I Consider When Opening a New Restaurant Now , in which training areas should I get consultancy? I will ask some questions below for those who say what should I do for sure success in gastronomy and my own restaurant concept ;

Now, if you answer these questions honestly, you will find the answer to how well you control your restaurant business. Of course, one cannot lie to oneself, when you look in the mirror, the truth yells at your face.
Restaurant managers, who think that success does not belong to individuals, and that it is shared in a team mentality that protects their business with the text of the organization agreement when necessary , are always the managers who have received the most appreciation in guest satisfaction.
Success or failure in restaurant management can sometimes be hidden in the following questions...
* In the natural taste of a cook,
* In the sincere smile of a busboy,
* In the dedication of your employees,
* When you are a taste stop,
* In the population of the restaurant owner,
* In your restaurant decoration,
* At your restaurant location,
* In the presentation of your special meal,
* In the freshness of your local products…
---And there may be many objects and behaviors that you do not know yet. But this success is not only hidden in a person or a product, but the fusion and accumulation of all of them have ensured success. For this reason, instead of looking for reasons by worrying and worrying only when your business is bad, try to protect your values when your business is good and to discover why your business is good.
