Scheduling at Hard Rock Café
Whether it's scheduling nurses at Mayo Clinic, pilots at Southwest
Airlines, classrooms at UCLA, or servers at a Hard Rock Cafe,
it's clear that good scheduling is important. Proper schedules use
an organization's assets (1) more effectively, by serving customers
promptly, and (2) more efficiently, by lowering costs.
Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Studios, Orlando, is the world's
largest restaurant, with 1,100 seats on two main levels. With
typical turnover of employees in the restaurant industry at 80%
to 100% per year, Hard Rock General Manager Ken Hoffman
takes scheduling very seriously. Hoffman wants his 160 servers
to be effective, but he also wants to treat them fairly. He has
done so with scheduling software and flexibility that has in-
creased productivity while contributing to turnover that is half
the industry average. His goal is to find the fine balance that
gives employees financially productive daily work shifts while
setting the schedule tight…
How can the success of scheduling system be measured?
