Second, when you’re looking for restaurant managers, Indeed.com is a great source.

Third, line employees are found on snapajob.com.

Fourth, even with these recommendations, there is no iron clad way to ensure you can find good employees for your restaurant. Get back to basics. Ask the people who come into your restaurant like your liquor distributors and food distributors and other restaurant vendors.
