Like its wisely said, “Actions speak louder than words” and above everything, all that really matters at the end of the day in any job is the work delivery. Meeting daily targets, helping build customer relationships, in turn helping business gain financial gains, etc. are all that counts on the road to success.
This definitely helps in going a long way. Asking for regular feed backs, taking suggestions and advises from seniors, ability to face criticisms with grace, following orders from seniors, developing mutual professional as well as a friendly cooperative relationship with peers etc. is a must for long lasting in any business.
Hotel/Restaurant staff should be given proper behavioural, communication training, for e.g. teaching waiters to greet guests with a smile no matter what, introduce oneself before taking any orders, making a note of the orders(a very important point), repeating the orders back to the guests,etc.
Markets are constantly changing and the only constant thing in the ever changing market is the need to stay updated about the changing business trends. For e.g. a chef, can’t stick to old dish decorating techniques or typical cooking techniques. He needs to keep reinventing his cooking style, food presentation skills, and learn use of new cooking tools for faster service.
Only in the times of crisis, there comes an opportunity to standout in the crowd and show what you are really made of and come at the aid of the hotel owner.

A such times try and come up with innovative and creative ideas that will help the hotel/restaurant/club/pub function smoothly inspite of shortage of workers. At such times you can display your networking skills to immediately arrange for workers at short notice and prove your usefulness.
