January 1, 2019, the holiday season has come to a close. I hope it was a great one for you and your restaurant business.
Time to take a breath and think of the year ahead. Many will watch football games over the day and weeks ahead. Your business is like a football game today; is your restaurant in the bowl game? Think about it, who is in that game today? The best of the best will be playing. These are the teams that did things right all year long. Let’s consider what they did:
- Recruited a good team of players who work together well
- Great training from coaches who got them to their peak performance
- Team meetings to review what went well and what did not
- Put the best players in the best positions for the best results
- Did this every week for a winning season
Does your restaurant perform like a winning team? Are you at the top of your game? Most restaurants are not in the game today. They did not put it all out on the field. Perhaps it’s the players, maybe even the coach? One thing is certain it starts with a plan to win the game and finish strong.
As the new year begins, plan to win in 2019. Get back to the basics of what will make you a success. The blocking and tackling that is necessary. From having the best players, calling the great plays from your game plan to putting people in the stadium to watch your team. These are the steps to success that will help you win in 2019.
Enjoy the games and playoff season ahead. I hope your teams wins in many ways!
