A short YouTube commentary by Mike Andes arguing that a good general manager is critical to a location's success. He gives a specific anecdote: one location lost $50,000 in June under a poor manager, and the following month, after replacing the manager, the location made over $60,000 in profit—used to illustrate the measurable impact a strong general manager can have.

$50,000

Over $60,000 in profit

It cannot be understated just how important a general manager is to making sure that your location is successful. I had a location a couple years ago that didn't have a great manager in place, and in one month, June, they lost $50,000. The very next month, after changing it to a new general manager that was extremely efficient and really pushed the envelope with the team, they made over $60,000 in profit in just one month. That shows the difference of what a good general manager will do for your business.
