Synopsis

This book presents findings from a collaborative study conducted by the US Department of Agriculture and the National Restaurant Association to measure labor utilization and operating practices in commercial cafeterias. The research team studied 12 cafeterias - six single-line operations and six double-line operations. The study's main objective was to establish a productivity index to guide scheduling decisions and to evaluate operating methods in commercial cafeterias to determine which practices enhance employee productivity and reduce labor costs. The authors detail the history of measuring labor productivity, methods for improving scheduling and supervision, and methods for designing efficient kitchen layouts and selecting appropriate equipment. They also provide information on employee training, motivation, and turnover costs. The book concludes that implementing the research team's recommendations can significantly improve labor utilization and operating practices in commercial cafeterias, leading to substantial cost savings and increased efficiency.
