Critical Thinking

Restaurant managers are inundated with demands:
Profit and Loss
Guest Complaints
Attrition
Food Quality
Service
These are just a few of those demands!

The most successful restaurant managers have mastered the art of critical thinking when faced with these demands.
Critical thinking is the ability to exercise good judgement when faced with the everyday issues of running a restaurant.
To be successful at critical thinking a manager must be:
Perceptive
Able to make clear sighted and intelligent decisions
Proactive
One way to improve critical thinking skills is to make decisions...even if the decisions are wrong. Only when decisions are made will the manager learn - learn from mistakes and never make them again.
It is crucial that the restaurant manager master critical thinking. Mastering it starts with decision making.
