Operators who can’t afford the services of a full-fledged human resources department can still enjoy the same sort of benefits by using ChatGPT, according to a principal of the three-unit SoNapa Grille wine bar chain. During a session at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago, Adam Barringer explained how the full-service chain uses the app for the sort of services a paid consultant might also provide. For instance, Barringer and his partner asked ChaptGTP to generate a list of behavior attributes they should seek in job candidates. The AI system provided an extensive list in seconds, and the machine-generated guidelines proved spot on. Similarly, SoNapa uses Google’s Classroom AI-generated course-generation system to custom-develop training programs for staff.
