What's the most effective way to "teach an old dog a new trick"

I currently own a small cafe. I went from being the one of 4 staff members to the owner of the cafe with 10 employees. I'm having a difficult time re-training my staff members to perform the way I would like them to as opposed to the way the previous owner expected. Any suggestions for training (re-training)?

An example: i have a check off list of tasks that need to be completed during shift and at end of day. There are a group of staff members who do these tasks well and complete. There are also a group who perform to the degree where the tasks are complete but not well done. Of the 10 employees, 3 are leaving in 3 weeks to go away to college. I want to continue to employ them but don't see how I can if they are essentially "training" the new staff to do things the way they do them now.

Any help would be appreciated!
