In today’s high-tech society, the teenagers of America learn in a drastically different way than Baby Boomers and even Generation Xers.

They send text messages on their Blackberry, download ring tones for their phone, proficiently navigate the Internet and expertly play the most sophisticated video games on PlayStation. They seek their information from Google rather than an encyclopedia, and they watch their movies on a DVD player, not a VCR.

Since teenagers compose a majority of the workforce among fast food and fast casual restaurants, it is vital for franchisees, owners and managers to implement training methods that speak and effectively impact these technologically savvy young people.

Restaurateurs should adopt a DVD-mentality. Today’s generation likes to be in control of the learning experience and not following pages of boring text. Technology is evolving quickly, so it is important to vary the delivery methods, especially for today’s generation of employees.

Schier, who is the author of multiple books about restaurant customer service and training, offers the following suggestions for enhancing training techniques in 2005:
