Operations Health Check

Get a ranked 30/60/90 plan built from on-site observation—focused on covers, labor deployment, and prime cost.

What you get (and what changes)

  • On-site assessment during a live shift—lunch or dinner service
  • Clear priorities you can execute immediately (no theory, no busywork)
  • A ranked 30/60/90 plan that tells your team what to do Monday, not “someday”

How this works (start to finish)

1

Discovery Call (30 min, Zoom)

Your goals, your constraints, your current numbers

On-Site Assessment (4–5 hours during service)

Rick observes, interviews, documents

30/60/90 Plan Delivery (1 week)

Ranked actions + sequence + scoreboard

Total timeline: 2–3 weeks from booking to plan in hand

What we assess (on-site, during service)

Revenue & Throughput

  • Covers + Table Turns: pacing, seating flow, bottlenecks, throughput
  • Service Execution: ticket time, manager presence, recovery systems
  • Bar + Beverage (if applicable): bartender deployment, upsell structure

Cost & Efficiency

  • Labor Deployment: station roles, scheduling, shift productivity
  • Prime Cost Controls: waste points, portion flags, receiving checks (when observable)
  • Food Safety: practical observations on shift (not a compliance inspection)

Management Systems

  • Pre-shift meetings and shift notes
  • Scoreboard and accountability cadence
  • Daily/weekly review rhythm

Deliverables

  • Findings summary (priorities, plain language)
  • Ranked 30/60/90 plan (first, second, third)
  • Closeout debrief (Zoom) + optional implementation support

Investment + timeline

Investment: Custom scope—discussed in consultation

Timeline: Book consultation within 48 hours. On-site assessment scheduled within 2 weeks. Plan delivered within 1 week of assessment.

What this is

A practical assessment run by someone who’s managed restaurant operations for 30+ years—focused on what you can control and execute with your current team.

The goal: create momentum with a ranked action plan, not deliver a report that sits unused.
