Maximise Restaurant Downtime with Cost-Effective and Time-Efficient Training

Running a restaurant involves more than just serving delicious dishes. Ensuring the safety, health, and compliance of your staff and establishment is crucial. But finding the time to train your team can be challenging, especially with the hustle and bustle of everyday operations. That’s where our exciting partnership with The Answer is Yes Academy comes into play.

Greasebusters has joined forces with The Answer is Yes Academy to provide restaurant personnel with accessible and efficient training courses. Our collaboration ensures that while our team handles your restaurant's vent and system cleaning, your team can focus on essential training without disrupting your operations.

The Importance of Training During Downtime

Training during cleaning can transform otherwise wasted downtime into valuable learning opportunities. Not only will your staff stay productive, but they will also gain essential skills that enhance workplace safety and customer satisfaction. With The Answer is Yes Academy’s expert trainers, who bring over a decade of experience, your team is in capable hands.

First Aid Kit

Now is the time for us to check your first aid kits to ensure that they are fully stocked.  As well as your kitchen first aid kit you also must have a portable first aid kit that can be taken to any injured patrons.  Also it is used in the event of an emergency evacuation.

Manual Handling Training

Manual handling encompasses lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling tasks. Improper techniques can lead to serious injuries, affecting productivity and increasing insurance costs. Our manual handling course teaches correct lifting techniques, the importance of posture, and how to use equipment properly. These skills help reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Proper manual handling training can decrease the number of work-related injuries, leading to fewer sick days and a more efficient workforce. It also demonstrates your commitment to employee well-being.

Fire Compliance Training

Fire hazards are a significant risk in restaurants, where open flames and electrical equipment are common. Fire compliance training ensures that your staff knows how to prevent and respond to fires.

There are compulsory courses that must be done within two days of starting employment and on an annual basis.  Having trained staff can prevent fire incidents and ensure swift action if they occur. This training helps you comply with fire safety regulations and build a safer workplace.

Chemical Handling Training

Restaurants use various chemicals for cleaning and maintenance. Mismanagement can lead to injuries, health problems, and contamination. The chemical handling course covers safe storage, proper use, and emergency procedures. Employees learn how to read labels and understand the risks associated with different chemicals. Proper chemical handling reduces the risk of accidents and ensures a clean, safe environment for both staff and patrons. This training also helps maintain compliance with health regulations.

Customer Service Training

Outstanding customer service sets your restaurant apart from the competition. It influences customer satisfaction, loyalty, and word-of-mouth referrals. Investing in customer service training can lead to higher customer satisfaction, positive reviews, and repeat business. It empowers your staff to deliver memorable dining experiences.

Work Health and Safety Obligations Training

Work health and safety (WHS) obligations are critical in maintaining a safe workplace. Compliance with these regulations protects your employees and your business.  The WHS courses cover risk assessments, incident reporting, and safety protocols. They provide your team with the knowledge needed to identify and mitigate workplace hazards. Training in WHS obligations fosters a culture of safety in your restaurant. It shows your commitment to the welfare of your employees and ensures compliance with legal standards.
