Gan Shan West Specific Staffing and Scheduling
FOH Staff vs BOH Staff
We have a small staff. If two full time FOH employees are out with COVID then we must close. BOH is dependent upon the number of sick employees and how we can fill out the schedule.
Alternative Scenarios
1) FOH staff sick – Operate with one FOH staff member. Close and lock front door. Only take online and phone orders. Pick-up only. No running food to Archetype.
2) BOH staff sick – Shut down operations on certain days of the week so that we can properly fill out the schedule.
