Article 04 Time Management for
Restaurant Managers:
No Time Left for You?
Article authors: Florence Berger and Edward A. Merritt
Introduction
no time left for you."
"No time for a gentle rain, no time for my watch and chain,
no time for revolving doors, no time for the killing floor, there's
When the Guess Who stormed onto the music scene in the
early 1970s declaring, "No Time," did they guess that the "who"
for which those words would ring true would be a metaphor
to describe the pace faced by today's frenzied restaurant
managers as well? Some 73% of the respondents to a recent
survey by Day Runner Inc. say they are "insanely busy."
Perhaps like never before, managers need to develop effective
time management skills in order to stay afloat amid the surging
torrents of information, people, and tasks bombarding them
Statement of the Problem:
Why Time Management?
Time management is putting time to the best possible
use. But when one considers time management more deeply,
it becomes apparent that it is not time, but themselves, that
managers must manage. People like to think they are masters
of their own time; in reality, most are slaves to events. But time
management tools alone are unlikely to make people fully
productive; the key is understanding time, proper planning, and
priority setting. Though simple in concept, time management
can be very difficult to implement. The subject has been treated
extensively in articles and books, but the problem of poor time
management still haunts today's manager. Shelly Fireman
patriarch of Café Concepts, creators of some of New York
City's most successful dining establishments including: Redeye
158
Strategic Leadership: Essential Concepts
Grill, Brooklyn Diner USA, Hosteria Fiorella, Café Fiorello
and Trattoria Dell'Arte, offered his tongue-in-cheek method for
effectively managing time: "I have a 27-hour clock that I bought
in a bazaar in Istanbul 18 years ago. With the three extra
hours, I exercise, contemplate the world around me, and read
an additional book." Dom DiMattia, vice president for human
resources, at Café Concepts added: "There's really no secret
to effective time management skills. Although managers may
have 100 other things going, they must stay focused on what's
important and take it one step at a time--and not catastrophize
or exaggerate in their minds about the amount of work they
have. We all know we get the work done."
First we will discuss some of the details of the studyincluding
its purpose, methodology, findings, and implications and lessons
learned. Second, we will begin to gain a better understanding
of time management by discussing how restaurateurs manage
their time, why they are managing their time poorly, and
introduce a diagnostic tool for helping managers account for
where their time is going. The third and final section is devoted
to implementing solutions that can lead to more effective time
management. Topics include breaking bad habits, delegating
eliminating interruptions, and dealing with mounding paperwork
If managers need an incentive to read further, remember that
an astounding 91 percent of study participants state that time
management skills increase their organizations' bottom lines by
at least 10 percent.

Next, we asked the managers to tell us about their work.
Participants were asked six questions to help guide the subject
