Dh and I run restaurant. Have a number of waiting staff. We pay over the minimum wage and they keep all the tips shared between themselves - we take nothing for ourselves. AIBU to want them to work harder and faster? It feels like me and DH are busting our arses and they are just standing about or on a permanent go-slow.
It seems like when I give instructions they either don't hear or don't understand so I have to say it over and over. I mean how many times can I say "Can you pass me some butter please" before it would have been quicker to get it myself.
I am aware that waiting tables is not the best job in the world but please can someone offer some useful suggestions to ease the situation or should I just accept that they only work on a slow pace and get over it?????
TIA
