Employee evaluation form for a restaurant

Employee evaluation is carried out in every type of business. All companies are imperative and retaining the best employees is critical. A restaurant is one kind of business that requires top notch services to keep the customers coming back. In such a setup, staff may tend to feel intimidated by the high number of people they attend to daily. Some employees give it their level best while others just laze around the restaurant. The only way to tell apart the good and the bad team is by carrying out a performance evaluation.
