Course details
A high-performing shift doesn't happen by chance. It depends on a leader who can read what's happening across the operation, make sound decisions under pressure, and keep service moving before small issues become major disruptions.
In this online course, you'll learn from Juan D. Leyva, Vice President of Operations and General Manager of LondonHouse Chicago, who will explain how to think and lead like a shift commander. Through practical hospitality scenarios, you'll discover how to recognize what a stable shift looks like, maintain oversight when demand increases, identify the early signs that service is starting to drift, and make confident decisions that protect service flow, team performance, and guest experience in real time.
