For instance, your wait staff may create a weakness for your restaurant, since you’re dependent on them for the personal service they provide to each table. Another weakness may exist if you do not provide adequate employee training, such as showing wait staff how they should attend to tables or explaining to culinary personnel how you want food prepared and presented. Other weaknesses may include not getting consistent supplies that result in menu items not being available. Relying on an outdated point-of-sale system or using paper to keep track of ordering and stocking is a weakness, because there are better ways of calculating your stockroom, order and financial needs.
