How to Build a Training Program That Actually Sticks
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most bar training programs do not fail because the material is bad.
They fail because there is no system.
In this episode, Chris breaks down why handing someone a binder, recipe book, or checklist is not the same as training them.
He walks through the three biggest gaps most bars have: knowledge, product, and accountability.
Then he explains how to build a training structure around the first week, the first month, and ongoing development.
If your staff has the material but still does not know the standard, the problem is not the binder.
It is the system behind it.
