SHOW NOTES: https://restaurantrockstars.com/audio/371-restaurant-finances/
I get it, many operators hate numbers, so they avoid them. But the truth is numbers really move the needle good or bad, and they ultimately determine your restaurant’s success or failure.
When I owned restaurants, I was obsessed with my critical numbers and analyzed them each and every week. It’s one of the reasons my restaurants had more than double the net profit of the average full serve restaurant. With the right approach, you can too!
In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, I’m speaking with Tom Rutledge, Founder and Managing Member of RDMS Group, restaurant finance guru and game-changer with expertise in payroll, food costing, labor analysis, budgeting, COGS trending, and financial viability.
Listen as Tom tells:
• The vital financial foundation your restaurant needs.
• What restaurants need to do now to move forward post-pandemic?
• How to deal with inflation and the labor crisis
• The importance of maintaining margins despite rising costs
• His best advice on inventory & prime cost
• What to do about labor cost abuses
And a key-takeaway, changing the mindset of running a restaurant to running a business.
Don’t miss this episode, then go out there and Rock YOUR Restaurant!
