Here are what we have found to be the top three prevailing systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Employees should be on their own and eat at specified breaks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employees can order menu items at a discount<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A special employee meal is served before or after service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One idea we hear from time to time is that restaurant professionals should be treated like professionals from other industries. Why should a restaurant owner use their profits to offer free meals to employees that are not typically available in other professions? Especially when they already provide all the standard benefits associated with different jobs? The downside of this option is that many restaurants choose to provide meals or discounted menu items for their employees. We&#8217;ve heard that this system may reduce employee morale when staff members compare the no-meal policy with other restaurants&#8217; treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some outlets allow employees to order off the menu at a discount when they are off the clock. This allows the staff members to eat at a reasonable price and sample the cuisine served at their workplace. Restaurant managers often choose this meal perk to find a middle ground between making employees pay for their meals and providing a complimentary shift meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-safe-food-training-favorite\"><strong>The Safe Food Training Favorite<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our top choice is the family-style staff meal served before or after shift hours.  This brings employees together and may be a great time to test specials and explore new menu concepts. If you choose this method of providing meals for your employees, keep in mind that it could also offer the opportunity to reduce waste by repurposing some of your inventory surplus. We also find that a well-fed employee tends to be a satisfied employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a restaurant owner or food manager, we&#8217;d like your thoughts on meal benefits.
