A startup hospitality company in the Restaurant industry has engaged you as a consultant to assist them with the build out of their organizational capability. The company is building 5 new restaurants in 5 different markets. These are all "upscale-casual" dining concepts. You are one of several consultants who are working on this project - each of you is working on different areas.

You have been tasked with building the following:

Determining a personality profile tool the company will use in the hiring process. You may choose to use the DISC, MBTI, or other third party assessment currently existing. At this point the company does not want to build their own. Whichever existing third party tool you choose, you must defend your choice.

Make a Competency Analysis for the company. The company wants you to research those competencies which are "critical to success" in the restaurant industry generally, and in the casual dining space specifically. Using that factual grounding, you need to recommend the 15 competencies necessary for a Restaurant Unit Manager to possess. The company will use this to identify high potential hourly associates for promotion, for external hiring, and for training.
