The fix asset (building, equipment, furniture) are only valuable if they contribute to or facilitate the making of profit, as well as, the staff, food & beverage ingredient and decoration of the outlet are only valuable if they, too, enhanced the restaurant's profit potential. Most of people thought that with enough manpower, less rental cost & well proper of cost control will drive the business to the success. Yes it is, but a lot of restaurant operator will not realize that in fact, systematic well plan "Organization" is a most important element. There are precious few restaurants that can or will survive without excellent organization.
But what is organization means? Here are few examples:
~ Organization charting & structure (Different level of staffing as from rank & file to top management)
~ Company Policies & Procedures
~
~ Short term & long term business planning
~ Sales and expense forecasting
~ Financial control implementation
~ Monthly profit & lost statement compilation & analysis
~ Internal control systems
~ Staff job performance evaluation & measurement
~ Commitment to training programme either from internal & external
Doesn't matter your business is big or small, a right begin action is very important. Just to make sure that do the right thing before everything is too late.
Implementation of policies & procedures or rules and regulation is very important too in order to direct your staff to perform their jobs in the proper way. Guidelines must be formalized so that interpretation is minimized. If you are not sure of how to starts this, I'll advise you to know more experience people in this industry to share with you, yet there might be a lot of different ideas given, at the end you as the key person or operator got to decide the suitable systems into your establishment.
