Job descriptions give you a benchmark with which to communicate your expectations and evaluate performance, both good and bad.

Job descriptions also play a key role in the hiring process. You must be able to accurately describe to an applicant the details of a position before they are hired so they have an accurate picture of what the job entails and what they need to do to be a successful employee in your restaurant.
