Your sales drop every August and September. And every year, it still catches you off guard.
Your bank account takes the hit, your costs climb, and you end up back on the line covering shifts.
In this episode of the Restaurant Growth Accelerator podcast, Chris and I break down why the slow season hurts so many restaurant owners.
I walk you through the simple maths to forecast next month's restaurant sales, then I show you how to turn that number into food and labor budgets - so your cash stays in your bank account and not on your shelves.
We also cover the two times of year when staff turnover always shows up, and how to hire before your competition does.
If the slow season catches you off guard this year, grab a pen, press play, and get ahead of your next slowdown (before it hits your bank account).
