2. Recognition for accomplishments and specific praise for strong performance by servers and staff.
3. Openness to feedback from servers and staff.
4. Announce upcoming special events or other items pertaining to the restaurant.
5. A review of restaurant policies, if needed.
6. Review of side-work schedules.
7. Inspection of personal appearance and uniforms.
