Getting ready to open a new restaurant? Prates Place in Grass Lake is taking staff training to a whole new level, and the results are as entertaining as they are impressive.

"Here at Prates Place we have the best staff and to ensure we have the best staff we do rigorous training," the team explains, but this isn't your typical restaurant orientation. From speed sweeping competitions to confidence-building guitar performances "in front of millions of people," the Prates Place crew is putting their future staff through creative challenges that test way more than just table service skills.

The video captures everything from friendly competition ("best man win") to encouraging team moments ("he's come a long way, I agree"). Whether it's mastering the art of quick cleanup or conquering stage fright with an impromptu guitar session, each challenge is designed to build the kind of team chemistry that makes dining experiences memorable.

This Michigan Media House collaboration showcases the fun, community-focused approach that Prates Place is bringing to Grass Lake. It's clear they're not just hiring employees – they're building a team that's ready to create something special for the community.

The training might look unconventional, but there's method to the madness. By the time these staff members hit the floor, they'll have the confidence, teamwork skills, and positive energy that turns a good meal into a great experience.
