Teamwork
Ask for help early, not late.
Support is not a rescue after failure. It is how a prepared team prevents failure.
Today’s lesson
Hospitality research connects clear service standards and coworker support with guest satisfaction and restaurant performance.
Calling for help while there is still time protects the guest, the team and the standard. Silence is not self-sufficiency when the room can see the problem.
“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.”
— Phil Jackson
Self-administered daily test
Know it. Choose it. Use it.
This is practice, not punishment. Pick the response that best protects the guest and the team.
You see another section falling behind while yours is stable. What is best?
One thing to do today
Before the rush, ask one teammate: “What could put you in the weeds tonight, and how can I spot it early?”
The rules we carry every day
What happens next?
Prepare, observe, anticipate and act.
“That’s not my job” does not work here.
Help, connect the need and close the loop.
Disagree privately. Align publicly.
Solve first. Debrief second. No surprises.
