From Chaos to Clarity: Why Team Meetings Matter in Restaurants

Kara Restaurant Group

In this episode of Restaurant Punk, the crew dives deep into the art (and chaos) of staff meetings in the restaurant world. From one-on-one convos to full-house team huddles, they debate what works, what doesn't, and how communication can make—or break—a shift.

Do you really need daily meetings? Should kitchen and front-of-house ever mix? Is it okay to never hold an official staff meeting? The answers may surprise you—and you'll definitely laugh as the team goes off-script (as usual). Plus, find out what "touching them all" really means. Spoiler: it's not HR-approved.

🧑‍🍳 Whether you're a server, chef, GM, or just love restaurant culture, this episode is for YOU!
