Restaurant Human Resource Forms

Absence Request Form

Another form allows employees to request time off. Requests must be approved by the scheduling manager. Just because of a request, employees cannot expect that it be granted. Due to the restaurant staffing needs, you consider each request individually. Of course, schedules may be shifted or revised to allow people time off.

For example, valid requests include vacations, family emergencies, court appearances, jury duty or requesting off for personal reasons.

Application (2 Page Document)

All businesses need applications on-hand for potential employees. Every employee needs to fill out an employment application prior to scheduling an interview. This form helps the interviewer compare the employment application to the interview questions. This is a permanent record in the employee’s file. Even if you did not hire that person, generally you must retain that application for six months or a year.

Employee Write-Up Form

Maybe you need to document employee performance or conduct issues. Often this occurs because of poor or negative attitudes or performance issues. Furthermore, a paper trail is vital in unemployment hearings or lawsuits. The burden of proof falls on the employer to prove why the employee was documented or terminated. Without a paper trail, your case will weaken. It is also a great idea to a have a witness present and for he/she to sign the documentation.

Employee Performance Review

Evaluate your employee’s performance. Most important, review each employee’s performance periodically. Setting an action plan helps correct any on-going issues that employees experience.

Exit Interview

Before any employee separates from your business conduct an exit interview. Learn why they resigned and where you need to improve. Employees leave for many reasons, such as:

Inadequate Training
Uncomfortable Surroundings
Issues with Management
The rate of Pay or Benefits
Better Job Offer
Relocating to another area

If you find out why employees leave your business, then correct the issues. Reduce the rotation of additional employees exiting your business.

Training Feedback Form (2 Page Document)

Document training feedback as the employee progresses. Furthermore, the feedback allows you an opportunity to see if the employee is being trained properly. In addition, your training plan improves with honest feedback.

Manager 360 Feedback (5 Page Document)

To begin, give this form to your employees to grade your management staff. Always allow anonymous feedback. Similarly, use this to know if your management staff maintains consistency and fairness. Ideally, give this form to employees that you trust to stick to the facts.

Interview scheduling Form

Keep this valuable form up front when applicants enter your restaurant. Never let an applicant leave your restaurant without an interview or a scheduled interview. Remember when an applicant leaves your restaurant, they visit your competition. Sadly, the best employees may be the ones you missed.

Restaurant Manager Performance Evaluation Form (6 Page Document)

This fantastic tool documents your management’s performance. Record areas of opportunities, then create an action plan to correct the issues. Always include a measurable time frame for corrections.

Reference Check Form

Prior to making a job offer, perform a thorough reference check. Do you really know who you are hiring and how well they performed at previous job positions? Of course, hiring employees on the fly creates a domino effect of problem employees. A rotating door of staff restaurant impacts your business. Be proactive, and know who you are hiring.

Suspension Notice

Unfortunately, you may need to suspend employees for various reasons. Document everything to help prove your side in unemployment hearings or lawsuit. Always have witnesses available during the documentation process. Restaurant Owners and Managers must show proof of the reason the employee was suspended.
