The first thing I would mention is what Anthony Hamilton talked about in the pod - bringing that manager on in a low pressure environment so they can learn your operation before they have to make decisions on it. Onboarding a new restaurant manager is a critical process that can have a significant impact on their success in their new role. Here are some tips to help ensure a smooth onboarding process: 1. Provide clear job expectations: It is important to provide the new restaurant manager with a clear understanding of what is expected of them in their new role. This includes their responsibilities, performance metrics, and goals for the restaurant. Be sure to discuss any specific challenges that the restaurant is facing and how the manager will be expected to address them. 2. Assign a mentor or buddy: Consider assigning an experienced manager as a mentor or buddy to the new restaurant manager. This person can help answer any questions, provide guidance, and share insights about the culture and operations of the restaurant. 3. Provide thorough training: Make sure the new manager receives thorough training on all aspects of the restaurant's operations, including systems, procedures, policies, and culture. This includes training on technology systems used by the restaurant, such as point-of-sale systems, inventory management software, and scheduling software. 4. Introduce them to the team: Be sure to introduce the new manager to the entire team, including front-of-house staff, kitchen staff, and support staff. This will help them build relationships with the team and understand the dynamics of the restaurant. 5 Set up regular check-ins: Schedule regular check-ins with the new manager to discuss their progress and any challenges they are facing. This will help you identify any issues early on and provide support and guidance as needed. By following these steps, you can help ensure that your new restaurant manager is set up for success and can effectively lead your restaurant to achieve its goals.

On the Red Envelope promo, add a QR code on the outside that takes them to a landing page or messenger flow to have them REGISTER their envelope.

We did a SWOT analysis for our boat dealership back in 2001 & 2002 and it was eye opening. It’s amazing how someone who’s not really doing much, except leading the session, can pull so much out of the sessions.
