I have seen different types of training techniques for restaurant staff. Some restaurants send new hires to their corporate training school; others hire experienced staff thinking they already know how to work that position. I think all new staff members should receive quality training regardless of previous experience.

Each role in a restaurant is important for the restaurant’s success!

Management must be able to work in every position. Their knowledge of each job is vital. Managers must step into those other roles to maintain customer service. Some reasons could be if there is a call-out, or if the sales are higher than projected.

If people tell you that managing a restaurant is easy, they are dead wrong. In-fact it is the most difficult position in the restaurant. Running a restaurant is challenging; management needs to be able to multitask, give direction, and follow-up on that direction. Managers must be able to retain large amounts of information and make quick decisions and be ready to step into any position.

Managers are not born to run a restaurant; they are developed into that position. The same goes for the rest of the staff. Train the management staff, then the trainers. Management will oversee the trainers as they train the rest of the staff.

The most effective restaurant training techniques are:

• Show-Do-Review: The trainer shows the staff member how to do the task. Then the trainer observes the trainee actually doing the task. After completion, they review the task together and the trainer

In the world of today, raising kids to become responsible members of the society is easier said than done. This is because kids are exposed to various external and internal forces that have a lot of negative impact on them. A good example is the increasing rate of divorce that leads to broken families. Chances of giving your children a good upbringing in a broken marriage are minimal if you do not know how to go about it. This has necessitated the development of a parenting skills curriculum to help parents give their children a good upbringing. Different professionals in this social field have developed different parenting curriculum but they are all aimed at similar end results.

Some of the things that a parenting skills curriculum can teach parents include.

• Help parents connect with their children. In many families, as children grow up a rift slowly emerges between them and their parents. This is especially more evident during teenage years. This can be attributed to several factors e.g. hormonal imbalances in teens. If the parents don’t find a way to connect with their children this rift may be irreparable in the long term.

• Good parental relationships and co-parenting. As mentioned earlier, the rate of divorce globally is at an all time high. However, being divorced does not mean that one of the parents ceases being a mom or dad. In this situation co-parenting is necessary and for this to succeed the parent have to establish a healthy relationship.… Continue Reading ...

There are two types of users. Those who say they have nothing to hide and conceal, and those who use all possible methods of data protection to keep their personal information secure.

This article is for the first type of people or for those who are somewhere in between. People of the second type are aware of these techniques and apply them in practice almost every day.

So what should you do today to ensure information security?

1. Make a backup copy of important data.
2. Replace simple passwords by stronger ones.
3. Make a copy of information stored in the cloud.

Why should you make a backup copy of important data?

Let’s start with a question whether there is a need to save a copy of your hard disk on other media. The improvement of software goes side by side with the improvement of malware. Ransomware viruses became especially active. Getting on your computer, ransomware virus blocks the access to your data and requires a payment for decoding them. But often even the transfer of the required sum of money does not solve the issue with the encrypted data. In such a case these data may be considered as lost forever.

Unfortunately, such cases are common. You can get a malicious code even via a simple JavaScript in your browser. Thus, if you copy important personal data to removable data carriers at least sometimes, you will have a chance to recover at least a part of the lost information and protect it … Continue Reading ...
