The industry is littered with morons, convicts and unmotivated geniuses. Competent restaurant help is very unstable, they walk out on a moments notice if things don't work out. In food service, typically a third of the income goes to labor, almost a third to food cost, and then almost a third to depreciation and overhead... the profit margins are generally very slim compared to other business types; thus the industry simply can't pay people what the job is worth in terms of stress, so competent employees are highly sought after but rare due to pay. Servers tend to be better than cooks on these measures as the money is better so they are more motivated.

If you can afford to eek out some extra shekels when you run across competent managers, it may keep them around. And a competent manager, who is a good leader can make the morons, convicts and unmotivated geniuses/artists actually do their jobs.

but yeah your employees are morons, or possibly just lazy fucks.

Sometimes I feel the same way.

Lazy ass servers can't do shit by themselves so they gotta ask bussers to do the work.
