Hey, restaurant managers. In this video,
I'm going to teach you how to get paid
more in your job or in your next job.
Hey, restaurant managers.
Ryan Gromfin here with TheRestaurantBoss.com,
as well as ClickBacon.com, and ScaleMyRestaurant.com.
And that's right.
Today is all about you managers getting paid
more for the hard work that you're putting in.
I've been a manager in restaurants,
mostly in the kitchen, but also in front of the house
and I can tell you likely you're not getting paid as much as you think you are worth,
and I'm going to tell you exactly why that is right now, it's very simple.
How much you earn
is directly related to the value you add.
How much you earn is directly related to the value you add.
You are not adding value if you are late.
You are not adding value if you're constantly complaining.
You are not adding value if all you are doing or a
majority of what you are doing is covering other people shifts
when they're late when they're off when they're not able to do their job
when they call out sick
because the ownership or the owner
might as well just be paying another line-level staff member to do that work.
So it may feel like you're adding value,
but you're not in those situations.
Here's the thing about value.
Value is as simple
as doing things that those who are paying you
either don't want to do or don't know how to do,
and it's likely both.
What it really comes down to is,
you have to be able to add more value to your owners,
to the company, to the business. If you add more value,
they could pay you more.
And I know that you might be thinking here or you might be stopping
here and thinking, well, when they pay me more,
I'm going to put in or effort. That's all wrong.
That's exactly how someone who doesn't earn a lot of money thinks.
The people who earn good fair wages in this world
are the ones that adopt the philosophy of - I'm going to show you first,
I'm going to do it, I'm going to get you the results,
then you'll pay me the money I deserve.
You know what? It's a risk, I get it,
but no smart business owner.
no successful savvy business owner
is going to pay you first and then hope that
you deliver the results.
So, I know this might have been a little more harsh and a little more direct,
maybe you were looking for like five specific things you can be doing,
but at the end of the day,
I just want you to always be asking yourself the question -
am I continually adding more
and more and more value
to this organization and to the owners?
Now again, that could come in the way of growth,
that could come in the way of having them or giving them more freedom,
it can come in the way of lowering expenses of controlling your labor cost,
controlling food costs, there's any number,
hundreds if not thousands of ways that value can be added,
but at the end of the day,
you must be able to and be willing
and be good at doing the things that your owners either don't want to do,
don't have the time to do, don't know how to do,
likely a combination of all of that.
Go out and add more value and the money will come, I promise.
I hope you enjoyed this week's video and I look
forward to bringing you another one just like it next week.
For today, go out and be a boss.

plan and some new tools.
