WORKSHOP – HOW TO EASILY SURVIVE INCREASING MINIMUM WAGE AND FOOD COSTS!!!
Tuesday, September 12th @ 8 am – 1 pm
A step-by-step restaurant success seminar for greater profits and a stronger management team! How do you plan to manage the minimum wage increase? Many restaurant owners think the solution is obvious. Just cut labor. Apples to apples, right? Wrong! There are not enough labor controls any restaurant owner can put in place to limit the impact of increasing minimum wages on the business. The solution to affording and absorbing increases in minimum wage and food costs has to run across all aspects of the business, including building a strong management team. An effective management team will focus on using systems, communication, service, quality and productivity to drive profits. This half-day session will focus on each of these key parts of your restaurant business to give you tools to easily survive increasing minimum wage and food costs. Creating an effective structure that focuses on required management skills, good communication and individual strength will give your managers the foundation for success. Darren S. Denington, CFBE will share his proven systems to take restaurant managers to a new level that builds team members while working together and running the business in a smart and profitable manner.

Most independent restaurant owners use their “gut” to run their restaurants instead of the real numbers. You might as well gamble for a living. This approach risks your restaurant’s success, your employees’ stability and your own family’s livelihood. Instead, learn how to manage and control two of your biggest expenses in your restaurant next to an empty chair — food and labor costs — to predict your profits with accuracy.

The day is broken up into three sections that help you run a more profitable restaurant:

1. The one system your restaurant must have to survive and determining where YOUR numbers need to be
2. Paint-by-number food and labor controls for maximum profitability
3. The secrets to holding your management team accountable and getting more done
