“All of my managers and hourly team members attended Five Star Training's four-day seminar series and enjoyed them immensely. Pam was extremely enthusiastic and gelled right away with my team. Five Star Training's restaurant training programs are not just fluff…they are full of valuable substance. Pam provided us with essential tools and concrete concepts to sink our teeth into. After the seminars, we experienced a higher level of teamwork, a boost in morale, and increased positive guest comments. Most importantly, we experienced a 30% increase in sales and a solid spike in check averages directly after Pam’s training. Indeed…a very good investment for us!”

"We bought our manuals from Five Star Training and have been thrilled ever since. You can tell they are written by top writers that really know their stuff. Five Star Training's manuals are thorough, concise, and have valuable information. I especially liked the structure, which contained an outline of the main topics....the information flows from start to finish and is easy for our employees to read and understand. All of the work was already done and saved us months of development time."

“Pam is not just an instructor…she is a professional, high energy, motivator! Her seminars are very lively and she inspired our team to achieve top performance. My staff was quite impressed and commented of how they felt highly valued with receiving personalized attention. Pam captivated everyone’s attention and our team was very engaged and fully participated. We received excellent staff evaluations and numerous requests for future training by Pam. Our restaurant opened smoothly with our teams highly trained and well-oiled for success. During opening week, our guests were impressed and commented that they could not believe we just opened!”

“Five Star Training’s manuals were full of substance and easy to customize…a perfect tool for building a solid foundation for our company’s growth. Our new hires and franchisees continually rate our “training materials and programs” in the top 95%. Pam customized a customer service, server training, train-the-trainer and management training program. She did a super job…all programs were very clear and concise. Soon after the training materials and programs were put into operation, our sales jumped 25% and continue to grow and we are seeing a 10%-15% decrease in turnover at our various restaurant locations. We should have done this training years ago…it really paid off!”

The digital manuals we bought were professional—all structured in a well organized format, very thorough, and easy to customize.

Pam presented employee seminars which were fun and interactive for our team.

"I thought all restaurant manuals would be similar. However, after researching other restaurant training web sites and reading several sample pages of manuals online, I realized there really is a difference. We purchased several manuals from Five Star Training and were impressed with how easy they were to customize. All of the information was right there. We wanted to make the right investment the first time and Five Star Training's manuals were exactly what we needed...now our staff has a professional and valuable training tool. Thanks."
