Dickey\u2019s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. has completely redesigned its in-store training program to incorporate a larger focus on Dickey\u2019s core values and meet the needs of millennial learners and beyond. The new in-store job titles are Pit Boss, Pit Master and Pit Crew, and reflect the levels of leadership and a clear path to management for workers at all levels.<\/p>\n
The new program has tossed the conventional restaurant training method that relies on textbooks and forms, and has implemented tools which reach learners by using proven curriculum design methods such as short videos, facts without fluff, faster and simpler training modules and an aesthetically pleasing design. \u201cDickey\u2019s new way of training drives our core values of energy, speed and barbecue,\u201d says Steve Hawter, Senior Vice President of Training. \u201cUsing these new tools developed by our home office training team, we can focus our passion on the art of great barbecue and instill it in our pit crews nationwide. I believe this new way of training will elevate our brand by challenging each of us to be the very best in our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
