sales games are great. give a cash prize for most sales of a certain high yield appetizer, or a high yield drink. for example, 20 bucks to whoever sells the most margaritas. that is 20 extra bucks in tips for the night. It can make a mediocre $75 night a $95 night.
I served for years and I loved contests.

I have worked waiting tables,and we all know how some of the customers can be very rude and trying.so here is an idea,take a vote on the rudest "regular" customer,after that customer is "identified" Have a contest to see who can sell the most to,get the most smiles from, get the biggest tip from and resolve all the little quirks the customer will come up with most efficiently.This can be a 4 week game/contest.At the end of the month reward the winner with say a day off with pay! Or double time on a day drawn out of a hat.I think it sounds like a lot of fun,also will teach waiters and waitresses how to deal with rude people without driving them away....your bread and butter.also there is nothing wrong with making work fun so long as the work is getting done.It is a proven fact that when a person likes their job they are more likely to stay with that job.So keep it fun.Good Luck

If you are in a laid back type atmosphere, try hat night. The best hat of the night gets a free meal ticket. up sale. the server with the most upsales of the night (appetizers, top shelf drinks, deserts) does no side work for the night. ummm we had one week where the person that helped out in the entire restaurant the most on the busiest nite, got $5 from each server.

till you're easily paying snowfall the month-to-month value for the sport (which I notably doubt), what you're doing is carefully unlawful. That aside, I additionally consider others that an XP develop is senseless. in case you do no longer purely like the "grind" linked with mmo's, then they are for sure no longer for you. As on your lag, as grew to become into stated, who do you think of has extra helpful bandwidth, snowfall working distinctive clusters of severe-end servers, or some schmo who rented a server from a colocation host? ultimately, make certain you recognize the version between community lag and device stuttering. a loss of RAM, somewhat in mmog's, might reason extreme stuttering. i might propose 2GB of RAM for any mmog.

listen bud, i know you mean the best, but this is the real world man.
this is a resturant we're talking not a daycare.
its not your job as a manager to make work fun, your job is to make sure they be doing there job, if not, its also your job to boot people.
you're paying them to work for you.
be the boos, man, be the man.
you seem way too nice.
