Hands-On Workforce Training

Practical hospitality training delivered in the work, with the team, and built around what each position actually does.

Teach by Doing

279 Consulting trains employees beside experienced people who understand the position: dishwashers teaching dishwashers, cooks teaching cooks, and bartenders teaching bartenders. We focus on real stations, real equipment, real service flow, and repeatable habits—not a lecture that disappears as soon as the shift starts.

Training Can Include

  • Station setup, organization, cleaning, and safe closing procedures
  • Prep, cooking, recipe execution, timing, and food-quality standards
  • Bar setup, responsible service, speed, accuracy, and guest interaction
  • Service coordination between front-of-house, back-of-house, and management
  • Training systems that experienced employees can continue using with new hires

Programs can support a new opening, retrain an existing team, repair a weak station, or help managers build a stronger daily training routine.
