Personnel

How much does it cost to replace an employee?

Have you ever wondered how much it costs to find and introduce a new employee to a restaurant? Did you count it in money?

How much does it cost in time and energy, people who are busy searching? It’s not an easy process, in conditions of a shortage of qualified personnel. And for some Companies – at least some personnel! It’s crazy stress when on the one hand you have a shortage, and on the other hand, a person does not always come even for an interview.

Employees leave the Company for various reasons, but quite often because of the salary. So, if you take and analyze in detail what for what, the numbers speak for themselves!

Attracting one employee:
📍Search and attraction = $40
📍Taxes, registration = $40
📍3-7 days internship = $100
📍Food, uniform = $60
📍Probationary period = $100
📍Mentor bonuses = $70
📍Loss of profit (%) = $200
📍SUMMARY = $610!

If you found an employee the first time. And it doesn’t happen often. On average, we invest 3 times to find a permanent employee.
📍$610 * 3 = $1830 📍

The figures for each restaurant may vary slightly. Especially the Loss of profit – you never know how many guests will leave forever!

Take care of your business! To keep a current employee, you need to incur additional costs. On average, $2-$4 per day. And only!

But, our employee is trained, knows his process, loyal to the Company. And we have already invested in his training. This approach minimizes risks and costs!

The principle of “You go – Go” does not work! Learn to keep loyal employees, value them. Invest Time and Money not in personnel selection, but in business development.
