What daily & weekly non-negotiable tasks are included on a restaurant checklist?
Below is a list to get you started. The video walks through how the free restaurant spreadsheet can help evaluate why restaurant marketing isn't happening.
Non-Negotiable list of weekly restaurant management activities:
Controls

If you are at any level in the restaurant operation and feel "over burdened" I challenge you to download the spreadsheet, input YOUR estimates and evaluate who is doing what for how long.
