server-training-guide
Build an onboarding and training guide for restaurant front-of-house staff (servers, hosts, bartenders). Use when asked to train a new server, create FOH onboarding, write service standards, or build a restaurant training program. Produces a phased training plan (shadow → hands-on → solo with support), the service-sequence standards, menu and allergen knowledge checks, POS and side-work basics, and a sign-off checklist that says when someone's ready to work a section alone.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Server Training Guide Skill Most restaurants "train" by throwing a new hire on the floor with a tray and hoping. The result is inconsistent service and quick turnover. This skill builds a real ramp: a new server learns the steps of service, the menu, and the systems in a sequence, with a clear bar for when they're ready to run a section solo. ## Working from a brief Given the restaurant type, **produce the full guide** — infer the service style (fine dining, casual, fast-casual, bar) and scale the depth and standards to it. ## Required Inputs Ask for (if not provided, else infer and label): - **Restaurant type / service style** and the **role** (server, host, bartender, busser) - **Menu complexity** and any signature service points (tableside, wine program, allergen protocol) - **Systems** — POS, reservation/waitlist, payment, and how long the ramp should be (e.g. 3–5 shifts) ## Output Format ### Training phases A staged ramp with what happens and who owns it: 1. **Orientation** — culture, standards, safety, sanitation basics. 2. **Shadow** — follow a trainer, observe the full service sequence. 3. **Hands-on with a trainer** — take tables with support. 4. **Solo with a safety net

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill server-training-guide --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
