Full Schedule, Empty Wallet: The Hidden Cost of Busyness


Listen Later

A crowded calendar can look like success, but what if it’s hiding slow service, low-yield work, and profit slipping through the cracks? We pull back the curtain on the “packed restaurant” illusion and share a clearer measure of health: dollar-per-hour production. By focusing on adjusted production per hour, you can design days that hit your goals on purpose, not by accident, and reclaim time without sacrificing revenue.

We get specific about how to shift from busy to profitable. You’ll hear the simple math that compares an eight-hour day of fillings to a four-hour block of crowns—and why the latter can be four times more profitable in half the time. We dive into DPH block scheduling, setting minimum dollar values for key slots, and limiting low-dollar procedures so your schedule tells the truth. We also tackle the hidden cost of cancellations: the empty operatory that quietly halves profitability. From pre-collecting and firm policies to waitlists and same-day rescue protocols, we show how to protect high-value time and stabilize your week.
