Take a deep breath. You made it.
You didn’t just survive 2018 – you thrived in 2018. Somebody break out the kleenex, this girl has got the feels.
You tapped into the power of restaurant technology to streamline operational headaches and elevate the quality of your guest experience.
You crushed your 2018 restaurant marketing goals and took some of the pressure off of customer acquisition in your restaurant by developing a winning customer retention strategy.
You mastered your metrics, created a restaurant forecast for the year ahead, engineered your menu for increased revenue, revisited your approach to inventory and purchasing decisions, increased your profit margins, and got your food and liquor costs under control.
You increased your restaurant’s staff retention rate, created an employee referral program, re-formatted your pre-shift meetings, explored new business models, and brushed up on predictive scheduling laws as well as the new minimum wage roll-out.
You listened, learned, and leveraged these insights and skills to create a memorable dining experience for every guest who visited your restaurant or placed an online order.
And so I raise my glass for a toast, to you, to us, to all we’ve accomplished together this year on The Toast Restaurant Management Blog. In keeping with this retrospective vibe, let’s take a look back at the posts and people who made this year everything we hoped for and then some.
