Elearning has taken over the training industry as never before. Most organizations have realized the benefit of online learning and have included it in their training strategy. Mobile learning or mlearning is just an expansion of online learning. Additionally, the millennials are gradually replacing the older workforce. So, if you want to train them effectively, it is important that you deliver engaging content via digital platforms as they mostly prefer to learn on-the-go. They do not like to be tied down to a particular physical venue or machine.
With mlearning, your employees can learn from anywhere and at any time. They do not need to take time out of their regular schedule just to attend training. Mobile learning modules are usually micro in nature. So, they do not take up much time at one go. Your employees can choose modules based on their learning needs. They no longer have to go through long modules just to find their topic of interest. This puts them in the driver’s seat. When the learner has control over their learning, they are invested in their learning journey. These are just a few advantages of mobile training.
The restaurant industry is known for its high staff turnover, which has a negative impact on the guest experience. The costs of hiring and training employees are high. If you have to keep rehiring and retraining staff, then it erodes the bottom line. And, we are not even taking the loss of productivity into account. The high turnover may not have an instant solution, but there are ways in which restaurants can reduce the cost and impact of replacing their staff. One of them is to switch from traditional training methods to mobile training.
Restaurants often use printed materials for onboarding and training. But the modern workforce cannot identify with this old-fashioned method. They are accustomed to digital media. They tend to block out anything that reminds them of studying. Even traditional desktop eLearning is a misfit to them since they have to perform in a fast-paced environment. They do not like to be tied to a physical machine to complete their training. There is a chance that they may quit because their training needs are not fulfilled. So, the faster you embrace modern learning technologies, the better for business.
Here are some ways in which mobile learning benefits the restaurant sector.
