1. Identify your training needs

The first step in using 1Huddle to train your front of house team is to identify your training needs. What are the key areas where your team needs to improve? Do they need to work on their customer service skills? Do they need to learn how to handle difficult customers? Or maybe they need to learn how to use your POS system efficiently?

Once you have identified your training needs, you can start creating your training content. You can either create your own content or use the pre-built games and quizzes available on the 1Huddle platform.

2. Create your training content

Creating your training content is the next step. You can create your own content using the 1Huddle game builder, which allows you to create games in just minutes. Alternatively, you can use the pre-built games available on the platform.

When creating your training content, keep in mind the following best practices:

• Keep it short and simple: Break your training content into bite-sized pieces that are easy to understand and remember.
• Make it interactive: Use games and quizzes to make your training content more engaging and interactive.
• Make it relevant: Ensure that your training content is relevant to your team’s job roles and responsibilities.
• Make it fun: Use humor and storytelling to make your training content more enjoyable and memorable.

3. Assign your training content

Once you have created your games, the next step is to assign it to get it into the hands of your FOH. 

When launching your games, consider the following:

• Set deadlines: Set deadlines for your employees to complete their training. This helps to ensure that they complete their training in a timely manner.
• Make it mandatory: Make the training mandatory for all employees. This ensures that everyone receives the same training and that everyone is up to the same standards.
• Monitor progress: Use the 1Huddle dashboard to monitor your team’s progress and identify areas where they may need additional training.

4. Review and reinforce

The final step is to use the 1Huddle dashboard to track your team’s progress and identify any areas where they may need additional training.

To reinforce the content, you can use the 1Huddle platform to launch daily or weekly games that focus on the key areas where your team is struggling and needs to improve. This helps to ensure that they retain the information and skills they have learned and that they continue to improve over time.

Training your front of house team is essential for the success of your business. Using 1Huddle to coach and develop your team can make the process more engaging, interactive, and effective. 

By identifying your training needs, creating your content, launching it to your team, and reviewing and reinforcing the content, you can ensure that your front-of-house team is well-equipped to handle any situation that may arise.

Now, back to work.
