Your restaurant is constantly generating data, whether from your sales revenue, food costs, or labor hours. The data is always there—but it’s up to you as an owner or operator to use it. Leveraging your front of house (FOH) and back of house (BOH) data allows you to gain more insight into your operations. You may have a hunch that you are doing fewer table turns on the weekend, or that your inventory has gotten wasteful recently.

Since the start of the pandemic, safety measures such as social distancing, lockdowns and mask-wearing have completely changed our understanding of how consumers spend on food. We saw customers stockpiling on groceries and supplies in homes instead of going out to eat, raising retail sales by 29 percent over the previous year (1). Meanwhile, sales at cafes, fast-food restaurants, coffee shops, and casual-dining establishments fell by 27 percent.

When the pandemic hit, many restaurants focused on expenses. Menus were trimmed to a fraction of original size. Delivery and curbside pick-up reduced on-site staffing. Inventory stock changed significantly. While what consumers eat won’t change, post-COVID-19, how they will get it will. The ingrained customer behavior over the past year, delivery, mobile orders, curbside pick-up, will likely continue.

Businesses fail for a variety of reasons. In the case of a restaurant business owned by a corporation or LLC, one of those reasons is the shareholders’ or members’ failure to have a plan to replace the key decision-maker(s). Even successful businesses can suffer crushing losses while their owners figure out who’s in charge. A good business succession plan can help mitigate the risk of that happening.
