Abstract
A survey of 74 restaurant managers and operators in the United States highlights the importance of effective time management. Of 69 restaurateurs who use time-management techniques, 49 estimated that time management boosts their bottom line by at least 15 percent. Ironically, most of the managers rated the effectiveness of their time-management skills as only poor or fair. Effective time management begins with recording and analyzing the actual way that time is used. Recording activities in time intervals of 15 minutes and then sorting those activities according to the priority of the activities gives a manager a picture of where the day goes. From that analysis, a manager can determine the source of time wasters. Time-management techniques involve three key elements: breaking bad time-management habits; learning to delegate; and eliminating interrupters.
