Restaurant Tip of the Day

You have to plan for profitability. Without a budget in place, it’s tempting to spend — even overspend — what you earn. A budget is a key component to operating a successful restaurant, one that operates profitably and with systems. Having a budget gives you a guide for covering your expenses and as a tool for setting goals. Goals can range from something as big as opening a new location to something more immediate such as hiring a kitchen manager. A budget serves as your roadmap to meeting your goals. Use one to plan for your profitability.
