Let's dive right in So before we talk about any of the steps the four steps First of all, we need to make sure we assess our business health And what I mean by that is understand how much cash flow you have done the bank Understand how much you need to account for paying rents and other utilities and understand how much cash is left in order For you to run your runway this dictates how healthy your business is and what course of action You can decide to make so now that you understand the business health of yours You understand the numbers you understand how long you can survive without having any revenues to come in then you can consider One of these four options number one is to pay all your staff leave with pay a lot of big companies are doing that all these Chains are doing that mainly because they have assessed their business health and they understand that throughout the quarantine process They much rather keep the morale of their staff They understand that this creates a great culture within their company if they can afford to do so now not a lot of big Not a lot of companies for that matter can afford to do that But if you have enough cash flow, it's something that I would highly recommend you to do because hiring a new staff and Training them requires you to pay money for training and everything But if you guys can go through this crisis together, you're gonna have some loyal People that you can retain and these are the people that would fight and put their necks out there for you in the future A second way to deal with your restaurant staff is leave without pay What I mean by that is after assessing your business health Understanding the fact that you may not have enough cash flow to sustain your business While paying all your staff full-time pay without any work then unfortunately you need to start talking to your staff Understand they would understand the position that you're in that you're bleeding left right and center that you need to pay for rent You're forgoing all the revenue that's coming in and all these crazy things that are happening at this moment Your staff would understand you don't want to lay them off But you want to keep them on board and if you have that consensus if you have that chat with your staff Then it is okay to have them leave on holidays without pay The third way to deal with restaurant staff throughout this whole crazy Crisis is staggered shifting and what I mean by that is if you're still operating your business in wherever you are Or if you're operating business as a delivery only option It is okay to talk to your staff and explain to them about the situation once again They very much well understand the situation that you're in that you have all these crazy expenses And that you losing money left right and center So they're okay with just working the minimal shifts and to actually work out the staggered shift With their other partners and other peers and this one that way we can all get through this whole crisis together The fourth and final way to deal with your restaurant staff throughout this whole coronavirus This whole crisis is to fire them now. I'm not telling you to fire them in a very bad manner I understand that a lot of you are suffering through a lot of guilt internal guilt because you know that they have Families they need to feed you know for a fact that they're living to pay check pay pay check to pay check And you feel super guilty and you don't know how to fire them But then yet you assess your business health and you just don't have the money to pay them When there's no work Now I'm giving you the permission in order for you to fire them because a lot of you understand that Businesses business business decisions needs to be made and the sooner that you can make this decision The sooner that you can live another day to fight another day So then that way when times change you can go back and actually take care of the people that you love Take care of the people that you fire take care and rehire them get them to join this whole family again a lot of people are Afraid to fire people afraid to take this action because they feel guilty today I'm giving you the permission to do so Businesses business live to fight another day So there you go the four ways to deal with your restaurant staff throughout this whole pandemic whole quarantine period number one is leave with pay Of course, we all want to be able to do to do that be a responsible owner and to build them around build that culture This comes at a huge expense huge capital and deep pockets if you have that I Highly encourage you to do so because all these people they live paycheck to paycheck and their families to feed Second step to deal with your restaurant staff is to have them leave without pay leave without pay is the second resort because at the end of the Day, you don't want them to leave but at the end they just don't have that cash flow in order for you to sustain them So getting them had to have a month of vacation and paid is also something that you can work out with them The third way is staggered shifting staggered shifting so then that way you can still give them Some shifts in order for you to maintain your operation if you're dealing with delivery as an option or if you're in a place that has That your operation can still sustain fourth way The final way to deal with your restaurant staff throughout this whole crisis is to fire them I'm not telling you to fire them out of spite or be cold-hearted, but Business decision needs to be made and unfortunately you need to be able to protect yourself And I'm giving you permission to do so do not have to feel guilty because you have done assessing everything Live to find another day so that that way you can repay the people that are on your team These are the four ways that you can deal with your restaurant staff throughout the whole crisis I really wish and hope that I can give you a better alternative But unfortunately these are the four ways if you guys want to learn more about how Is that one thing that you can do in order for you to survive throughout this pandemic?
