Donald Burns warns that operating a restaurant without a strategic plan invites chaos, failure, and reputational damage. He emphasizes having explicit game plans for growing the restaurant, building the team, and personal improvement, criticizing reliance on 'hope' as a strategy.
If you want to crash your restaurant, do not have any kind of strategic plan. Without a plan, you're just inviting chaos and drama into your restaurant. Course of inaction is surely to get your restaurant's own reality show called your restaurant sucks. So what's your game plan to grow your restaurant this year? What's your game plan to grow your team? How about your plan to improve yourself? It might work out if you kind of believe in hope as a strategy.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
