Hiring & retention
Retention starts before day one, in the system people walk into
Guests see a calm stay. Teams feel the hiring, scheduling, training, and handoff systems underneath it. Retention starts before day one, not at exit.
Hiring & retention
Hiring and retention articles follow the stretch where most new hires decide whether to stay: the first shifts, the second week, and the moment a team member learns whether the place is organized enough to build a routine around. They treat turnover as an operations question as much as a labor one, covering onboarding, schedules people can plan a life around, and the amount of change a team is asked to absorb. Each piece cites its sources inline. The restaurant employee retention guide shows how Gid handles this part of the work.
