From my days in restaurant operations a few things held true. The General Manager was the "key" to the success of any store, and of great importance during busy shifts. It seemed the sixth sense was necessary to run a great store. It still is that way, but we have been seeing from a number of operators the "decentralization of talent."
Corporate offices want to to take away the drudgery and the artfulness. But is it possible? We think it is. We are seeing more and more operations who are working on a simplified system of narrow menu choices, big value to the customer and employee empowerment. Currently all indications are that this trend will continue.
Today's newsletter will be our last until after the NRA show. Exhibit space is sold out and it expects to be busy. See you there. We will be at booth #6365.
