The Demand
Tomorrow, name one bandaid scaffold currently propping up your operation — internal, external, or personal — that you never actually acknowledged as a sacrifice when you put it in place. Track it, set a teardown trigger, and put it back on the audit cadence. Unnamed scaffolds become permanent by default.
The Work
Name one sacrifice you've been calling a fix — a shift you covered yourself, an invoice you pushed, a repair you deferred:
When did you first put it in place, and did you name it as a sacrifice at the time?
Is this tracked anywhere, or is it invisible scaffolding holding up the operation right now?
The teardown trigger — the condition under which this sacrifice gets addressed for real:
Where you will put it on the audit cadence starting this week:
44 years. 200+ independent operators coached. 34 restaurants opened from scratch.
I work with restaurant operators who know something is wrong and are ready to find out what it actually is — and with leaders who are ready to build something that lasts.
The complete framework is in my new book: The Operator’s Playbook
