Restaurant Spreadsheet Shows Why No Marketing

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       

• Food Orders (per par system) 2 times/week
• Check In / food orders / label / store / rotate 2 times/week
• Inventory / key punch and problem solving
• Daily Inventory Critical Counts / entry / calculation / analysis
• Daily Cash Accountabiltiy follow-up
• Daily Deployment / adjustments / prep list / Operation Checklist
• Go to bank (at least twice a day)
• Review daily / weekly flash / metrics results / tracking

People Support      

• Weekly In-Store management meetings       
• Communication notes / log book / read - write        
• Weekly meetings / In-person or call

Other Items

• Guest Contact? Pre- During- Post- Meal ???
  
• Then consider how much time each takes support:
  Production / Serve / Dishes / Cleaning / Server / Prep / Cooking Guest Contact?    Pre- During and Post the guest's Meal.

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.
