Give Your Great Food Truck Employees Feedback

Never assume that the best members of your food truck staff knows how well they are preforming. Instead, use these three tips to give the superstars of your staff the feedback they want and deserve:

Identify development areas. There may only be a few and you may need to work hard to identify and articulate them, but help your star understand what they can get better at.
Show your appreciation. Failing to say thank you is a simple and common mistake. Your stars need feedback and praise just as much as everyone else.
Provide feedback often. Don’t wait for review time. High performers thrive off feedback and it’s your job to give it frequently.

About the Author: Richard Myrick

Richard Myrick is an architect by degree (Lawrence Technological University, Southfield, Michigan) who began his career in real estate development and architectural planning. In September of 2010 he created Mobile Cuisine Magazine to fill an information void he found when he began researching how to start a mobile hotdog cart in Chicago. Richard found that there was no central repository of mobile street food information anywhere on the internet, and with that, the idea for MCM was born. Richard also wrote the "Running a Food Truck for Dummies" available in bookstores everywhere and Amazon. You can reach out to Richard by email at: [email protected].
