New Hospitality Employee Starter Checklist: Employee Onboarding

“How can a New Hospitality Employee Starter Checklist help my hospitality business?”, we hear you ask…

One of the biggest responsibilities that any hospitality business faces is maintaining cleanliness under every circumstance. It sounds complicated, but it’s non-negotiable. Keeping your business clean means:

• Maintaining the quality of your food
• Maintaining an ordered and organized work environment for your employees
• Maintaining your business’ compliance with food safety and hygiene regulations

When you take on new employees, you have to be prepared to teach them to integrate with these parts of your business. They need to thoroughly understand your business’ cleaning procedures so they can keep (or even heighten) your standards for cleanliness.

Cleaning in hospitality is already not easy for regular staff, let alone new employees. They consist of multiple tasks that need to be delegated amongst your many employees. Cleaning each section involves its own specific process that needs to be followed properly. To ensure that these procedures are followed you need to make sure new employees understand the tasks that they need to complete.

It is difficult to track all the cleaning tasks, which is why cleaning checklists are so important, especially for new employees. Not only do new hospitality employee starter checklists allow you to track all the tasks you want completed, but it lets your new employee know what they need to do, allowing them to work autonomously.

However new employee starter checklists can be labour-intensive and inefficient to create manually. This is for many different reasons, including;

• It can be time and resource-consuming to create the cleaning checklists themselves, especially if you have a larger staff, which drastically affects how many different cleaning checklists are needed
• Distributing copies of the starter checklists among your entire hospitality business cleaning employees, particularly ensuring that people receive the correct cleaning checklists for the right jobs
• Making sure each of the staff induction checklists are completed by the right people on time
• Storing employee induction checklists for future reference, etc.

Whether you are writing cleaning checklists for your hospitality business by hand with a pen and paper or typing them into documents that can be printed or emailed to all your employees, neither method is better than the other. You will still have to deal with all these issues. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a software solution that addressed each of these problems individually?

Luckily for you, Operandio offers one of the most comprehensive new employee onboarding checklist solutions available. Make sure your new hospitality employees aren’t left behind thanks to Operandio’s superior functionality.

• A one off for when there is only a single cleaning job to do
• A recurring task to be completed on a regular basis
• An ad hoc task for staff to complete when needed

1. Assign your new task/process to your staff, whether it’s:

• A single employee
• Multiple employees
• An entire department
• An entire branch
• Your entire hospitality business

1. Set a due date and time for your cleaning task so your employees know exactly when it needs to be completed.
