Lessons That Restaurant Owners Can Learn From The Bear

If you’re like most of the world, you’ve probably recently been gripped by The Bear, the American comedy-drama about an award-winning chef taking over a sandwich shop in Chicago and turning it into a respectable restaurant.

While this is a fictional depiction of a restaurant, we can still learn a few things from the show. Here are some things we have learnt from The Bear.

Details Matter

Ritchie spends an episode working at a renowned restaurant., where his main task involves polishing forks. While he doesn’t understand the importance at first, he comes to realise everything plays a role in making the guest experience great.

 

While some things can seem like trivial tasks, the details really do matter in a restaurant. The diner loves to know that the staff have gone the extra mile to please and excite their customers.

Change Can Be Good

Plenty of restaurants get stuck in their ways when it comes to menus and the way they do things. A key lesson from The Bear is that change can be good. Carmy comes from the fine-dining world and wants to change pretty much everything about the shop, creating tension with the existing workers.

 

Eventually, a great balance is struck, embracing the new, modern way of doing things while also staying true to their roots. The lesson to learn here is that while the old way of doing things can work, restaurants should not be afraid to embrace some changes and experiment with new methods., recipes and more.

Cleanliness Is Key

While the food Carmy and the team send out looks immaculate when the customer receives it, sometimes the state of the kitchen is a whole different story. This is probably not the best way to treat your restaurant kitchen. An unclean and messy environment can lead to contamination and risks of accidents.

 

You need to be cleaning as you go along, and making sure all kitchen uniforms and linens are laundered effectively and hygienically to keep up with the standards of your restaurant.
