Taking Care of the Team

THE

Savannah, Ga.

With nearly 3,400 members and $21 million in annual food-and-beverage revenue, The Landings Golf & Athletic Club in Savannah, Ga, boasts one of the largest culinary brigades in the country, spanning ten standing culinary concepts, from fastcasual dining to 10-course tasting menus, and hundreds of events a year, led by Executive Chef Sam Brod, CEC.

Among its efforts to find and retain talent, the club hired a central foodand-beverage recruiting manager, and it offers multiple training programs for staff, including a 3,000-hour American Culinary Federation (ACF) apprenticeship.

The Landings has also initiated an incentive program to show appreciation for team members who pick up extra shifts when needed.

Team members earn points for each shift they pick up, which can be redeemed for rewards at three levels, including gift cards, trolley tours, Landings merch, VIP stadium tickets and more.

The club also offers an 18-week internship program for soldiers stationed at Fort Stewart Hunter Army Airfield as part of their active-duty training. C+RC
