Before you write
Shift supervisors are the operational floor leadership during peak periods. Strong supervisors keep speed-of-service tight, coach team members in real-time, handle the operational variability (rush, equipment issues, complaints), and run a clean shift reconciliation. Weak supervisors do task work and require management oversight on every decision.
