Use the Employee Performance Evaluation to give your employees constructive feedback on how they are doing and ways to improve their performance.

Regular evaluations are important because they give you an opportunity to let your good employees know that you notice and appreciate their efforts and their contributions to your business. It also let's your poor performers know that they are functioning below your standards and allows you to discuss ways for improvement.

Many restaurant owners and managers find it difficult to give feedback to employees who aren't performing as well as they should. Employees won't see a need to improve unless it's brought to their attention. It's important to let employees know, in objective, specific terms, what they are doing or are not doing that is below your expectations and why improvements need to be made. Concentrate on results, rather than your perceived shortcomings of the employee and you'll increase the odds of a positive outcome.
