 Mel’s Diner targets talented restaurant-industry professionals with new GM incentives package
Bonita Springs, Fla.
– Mel’s Diner, affectionately known as “Southwest Florida’s kitchen,”
has always prided itself on the family friendly service, high value and
quality, made-from-scratch comfort foods in each of its locations; but
just as important are its seasoned staff, which consists of many top
restaurant-industry professionals who, ironically enough, have left
jobs at larger organizations in order to take part in the Mel’s more
old-fashioned, close-knit working environment.
Now Mel’s is
looking to add a larger team of talented people to its roster – a step
needed to accommodate the company’s rapid growth. Currently,
Mel’s Diner owns and operates 10 stores in the southwest Florida
area. It plans to add four more stores by 2007 and hopes to
continue those expansion efforts in coming years.
“Our manager
incentive packages will simultaneously bring these candidates back in
time and move them ahead into the future,” said Chris Karakosta,
president and CEO of Mel’s Diner. “Picture a working environment
with family-style values, where the customers know your name, the
meatloaf is just like mom’s and the mashed potatoes never end.
Imagine a place where all this exists and you’re still surrounded by
cutting-edge technologies, upgraded inventory control systems,
industry-leading business practices and top-tier compensation and
benefits.”
According to Mel’s Diner representatives, these new GMs can expect to perform the following general duties:
- Oversee the operations of restaurants within assigned territories
- Increase overall business of those locations
- Guarantee the quality control of those stores (including keeping customers happy)
- Ensure employee development and rewards
To attracted qualified candidates, Mel’s is offering a lucrative GM package, which includes the following: - An annual salary of $50,000 to $65,000 or more
- A
benefits package consisting of flexible management schedules, insurance
benefits, continuing education, executive involvement and financial
planning
- In-depth training, development and orientation
- A
rewards program featuring frequent reviews and feedback sessions, as
well as special incentives to those meeting or exceeding company
standards (such as monetary compensation, awards banquets, weekend
retreats and more)
“We're proud to do things differently at
Mel's and strive to positively impact the lives of everyone involved,”
said Karakosta. “We believe that if you treat people ‘just
right,’ success is sure to follow. It's a culture of respect and
camaraderie that breeds enthusiasm, starting with entertaining each
customer like a guest in our home.”
“Mel’s is proud to be a
Florida icon. From traditional diner classics, to our new gourmet
offerings, we blend the best of the old and new. Today, we invite
you to join our family, where our employees are the key ingredient.”
