We're probably a little too casual with what we do then!

We just let the staff sit down for 5-10 mins when they can throughout the night.
From 5-9 its pretty full on & there's not much time to do anything, but after 9 it slows down & usually they will take it in turns to go outside & have a break/cigarette etc for as long as time allows.

We have most of our staff on 3hr shifts except the full time ones - but the girls & delivery drivers overlap each others shifts - for example one girl might do 5-8pm, another 6-9pm etc.

We always give them a free meal at the end of the night or they can nibble on a pizza during as long as its out of sight of customers

DH is pretty cruisy with the staff, but treats them all really well - and we're lucky enough that they've been just as good to us in return.

All of the boys have become quite close & because they're closer in age to BIL (who lives with us) I find a lot of them here after work for a few drinks/food/swim in the pool or to play the playstation etc.
