Case Study: Texas Roadhouse In College Station

Decent Essays
With the research I have conducted, I believe that the Texas Roadhouse in College Station should pursue the following recommendations:

Option 1: Adopt a biweekly schedule in order for employees to have more notice of when they work
Even know it would take more time to make a schedule for two weeks at a time, the schedules would only have to be made twice a month and it would be a great improvement for the entire store. A biweekly schedule would give employees significantly more time to plan their week and plan homework and studying around their work schedules. This not only benefits the employees but also benefits the employer.

Option 2: Continue using a weekly scheduling practice however release the schedule 3 to 4 days in advance
