SMART HIRING & TIPS RETAINING
1 Use the power of word of mouth.
For example, consider asking your most reliable, hard-working employees to recommend people they know who would be a good fit.
2
3
For example, avoid asking if he/she has experience working with elderly customers. Instead, ask the person to describe any experience he/she has had working with elderly customers.
5
Hire a balance of people.
6
Setup an orientation program that gets your new hires excited and prepared for their new position.
It’s key to have different levels of maturity, age, talent, personality and experience to build a well-rounded and complete team.
Want help putting a program together or freshening up your current program? Check out the Dietary 101 Foodservice Orientation Kit from Martin Bros.!
Screen applicants with a “pre-interview” quiz.
Consider sending applicants a short 20-question quiz on basic kitchen terminology, food safety and customer service scenarios. The main point here is to be able to eliminate anyone who is unable to spend a few minutes answering the simple questions. A person with a great work ethic will always be diligent enough to spend the time answering questions.
The food service industry employs one of the largest workforce segments in the United States. But, how do you find and retain the right employee for your business? Consider these hiring tips:
asking “yes” or “no” questions 4 Avoid during the interview.
Be clear.
Whether you post your open position on internet sites, in newspapers or with “help wanted” signs, make sure you include an accurate description of qualities you desire. For example, consider using phrases like “team player”, “excellent interpersonal skills”, “passion for service” and “help to enrich the lives of our customers”. Also, don’t sugarcoat the position. Consider including descriptors such as “fast-paced work environment”, “we operate seven days per week” and “rotating weekends and holidays”.

Smart Snacks
There are updates to the Smart Snacks regulation for 2016-17. These updates are: 1. Snack items will only allow < 200 mg Sodium. Previous was < 230 mg. 2. Foods will not qualify using the 10% DV criteria – for calcium, potassium, vitamin D or dietary fiber. Martin Bros. will review the Smart Snacks list posted on our customer website, www.martinsmart.com, to ensure it fits the new guidelines. We will have it updated with any necessary items removed by the July 1, 2016 deadline. We will also add any new items that fit from our manufacturers.

One of our vendors, Norpac, has some helpful tools to encourage a variety of colorful vegetables and shapes using their blends. These tools help kids try something new by mixing it with their familiar favorites.

4 Ways to Deep Clean & Upgrade Roxanne Hassman Martin Bros. Janitorial Category Marketing Manager
1 3 2 4
DEEP CLEANING CARPETS If the carpet is not heavily soiled, interim cleaning works great. The most wellknown interim method is old-fashioned bonnet cleaning; however, a newer method called encapsulation cleaning is even more effective. Encapsulation cleaning uses a special polymer-based cleaner combined with agitation to loosen and remove soil while leaving carpets free of residues. For true deep cleaning, though, extraction is still widely recognized as the only way to go. BUILDING MAINTENANCE In order to draw a crowd and keep them coming back, you must keep the exterior and interior of your facility looking great. Make sure everything is in good repair, especially after the harsh winter months.
RESTROOM UPGRADES Having clean restrooms is a very important part of your establishment’s success. Dirty and smelly restrooms can cause people to not come back and to not recommend your place to family and friends. This time of year is the perfect time for inspecting your bathrooms and looking for new and better ways to keep them cleaner and make them more attractive. WASTE REDUCTION On top of making an establishment look dirty, waste can be perceived as an unnecessary environmental footprint. As the weather gets nicer, take a look at some of the janitorial items you go through on a regular basis, and make sure you’re using the right products to help you reduce waste. For instance, are you using proper-fitting can liners and automated towel dispensers that limit towel usage?
Foamy Mac 023960
A restroom tub and tile cleaner that removes hard water scale and soap scum. The clinging foam ensures maximum effectiveness on walls. New safe acid technology is non-corrosive to skin yet has the cleaning power of strong acids.
Encapsulating Cleaner with Oxygen 011050
Newest carpet care product for interim cleaning. Combines “encapsulation chemistry” with the safe cleaning and odor-killing properties of hydrogen peroxide (oxygen). Ensures soils and detergent residues that cause re-soiling are effectively removed. Designed to clean carpets effectively with minimal downtime.
Magico 011270
Cleans and deodorizes in one step. Use on floors, walls, countertops and other washable surfaces. Great for restrooms, kitchens, office buildings, schools, retail stores or anywhere a deodorizing cleaner is desired. The long-lasting lavender fragrance leaves surfaces smelling fresh and clean.
Tri-Fecta 022890
This bio-enzymatic cleaner can be used on virtually any surface not harmed by water and is especially effective on restroom floors and other surfaces that may harbor odor-causing soil such as urine, vomit, sweat, food waste, smoke and animal odors.
16
Fresh 100 010680
A non-acid, hospital-grade disinfectant/ cleaner for restroom maintenance. Its germicidal formula and clinging action make it exceptional for toilet bowl and urinal sanitation. Its moderate viscosity allows it to remain on vertical surfaces, avoiding rapid run-off.
Multi-Shine 010630
A non-streaking, pleasant-to-use glass and surface cleaner with a mildly-ammoniated formula and special solvents and detergents to help penetrate greasy fingerprints, dirt and soil for easy removal. Use on glass, mirrors and polished surfaces.
Bio-Power 023770
A multi-purpose, biological digester/odor counteractant. Its blend of four different bacillus strains releases enzymes to break down organic debris. Use as a drain maintainer and grease trap additive. Also great for urine and other malodors.
