Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Every single weekend, people are looking forward to eating your food or trying your product. That's what success looks like and that's when you really should think about going beyond that.
2. Leave it up to the team to make their best decisions day-to-day, using the AI forecast as a guide, but certainly not sticking to it because ultimately they're in the kitchen every single day. They see what's happening.
3. Listen to your people. It's your team on the ground that has to do things. That's what it takes to get to a place where the product is consistent and the customer experiences are fantastic.
