"Running a Restaurant Feels Like Spinning Plates"...And Sometimes You Drop a Few
I ran a restaurant for a decade. I know what it's like when everything hits at once.
The Real Problems Restaurants Face
🔄 Getting Customers In (and Keeping Them Coming Back)
Some nights you're packed, other nights you're watching empty tables and hoping for takeout orders. You need regulars, not just a busy Saturday. If booking or ordering is a hassle, customers just try somewhere else.
📋 Table Turns & Lost Orders
Tables waiting forever for the check, orders vanishing between the floor and the kitchen. You can't grow if you're always chasing down missing tickets or holding a line at the host stand.
👥 Scheduling: Herding Cats (with Aprons)
"Who's closing tonight?" "Can someone cover Sunday?" "Why did no one show up for brunch?" Building the schedule is a full-time job. Keeping everyone happy and actually staffed? That's another story.
📦 Inventory & Ordering Chaos
"Did we order enough wings?" "Who 86'd the spinach?" "Why do we keep running out of limes?" You lose hours every week updating the spreadsheet, and someone always forgets something.
💻 The POS Never Matches Reality
Menu prices change daily, specials need updating, and staff ring things under the wrong buttons because it's easier. You spend more time fixing POS buttons than running your business.
🕵️ Employee Theft (Nobody Wants to Talk About It)
Food goes out without a ticket. "Discounts" for friends. Drinks that never hit the register. You know it's happening, even if nobody talks about it.
💰 Food Costs That Make No Sense
Prices jump every week. You have no idea what you actually made on last night's special. Profit margins are a mystery, and you're tired of guessing.
🔧 Equipment Breaks Down—Because Nobody Remembers Service
The fryer dies on Friday night, again. Nobody scheduled the oil change, again. Every service call is a mini crisis.
