The premise

Restaurants rarely fail because nobody cared. They fail because good people were handed a shift nobody designed.

Good people, bad systems

Nobody clocks in planning to be mediocre. Put a careful person inside a badly built shift and you get mediocre anyway.

The best night is already yours

Every restaurant has already had a perfect Saturday. The only question is what has to be true for it to happen on a Wednesday in February.

Where I come in

Decide the work in advance, and the shift stops improvising.

Restaurant Operations Audit

The room is full and the night still feels like a fight.

SOP Development

Everything runs beautifully when you happen to be standing there.

Server Training

Two servers, identical sections, two different restaurants.

Mystery Shopping

You only ever hear about the worst night and the best one.

Meet Asia

I did not leave restaurants to talk about restaurants.

Most weeks I am on a floor somewhere, down a server at 6:15, walking up to table nine like nothing is happening. Everything I believe gets tested there, and corrected there.
