Notable Quotes
“F&B chains don't fail because the food isn't good — they fail because they lack SOPs and consistent operational discipline.”
Advice
SOPs are the root of any F&B chain
Without solid SOPs you cannot scale from 1 to 10 stores. Invest in SOPs before opening the 2nd store.
F&B staff management is harder than recipes
Recruiting, training and retaining F&B staff is the hardest problem — not the menu.
Control the three biggest cost buckets
Food cost (25-35%), labor cost (25-30%), overhead (15-20%). Exceed the thresholds and the chain risks losses.
