Who Is This For? This Checklist is designed for the serious owner or manager who truly desires to evolve their Restaurant to the next level of growth and profitability. Most of the 1,093 tactics and strategies can be applied toward any type or size restaurant. Some are best utilized with small restaurants while some are better suited for larger restaurants. Some tactics and strategies are free; many have a minimal cost, while a few may require a small investment. Some require only an attitudinal change while others may require a change in a process or a procedure. However, all of the 1,093 topics merit your thoughtful consideration as you begin to develop a strategy for implementing a "continuous improvement process" for your restaurant.

Competitive Advantage: As it is with your restaurant, your competitors are also looking for opportunities where they can find marketing or cost advantages. If you don't take pre-emptive action to improve your business on a regular basis, your competition will leave you behind in the marketplace. Revenue, profitability, and customer satisfaction will then suffer. However, implementing one or two minor improvements based upon the self-assessment checklist could possibly result in 10X, 20X or 100X return on both the time and money you have invested in this process. Make an investment in both yourself and your business by purchasing this checklist, and then conduct the assessment! Your customers will be glad you did. And, when the results show on your bottom line, you will be glad you did also.

Based on my Business Consulting Experience! The Restaurant Self-Assessment Checklist is based upon my personal experience working with hundreds of small businesses. As a business consultant for both the City of Portsmouth, NH and Somersworth, NH for 8 years, I advised over 500 small business owners, many of which were restaurants. Many of these small business owners participated in the two year development process of this checklist by testing it several times and providing valuable, real-world input. Now you can also improve your operations, and, hence, your profitability when you actively apply the tactics contained in this checklist!

How to Use: The assessment process is quite thorough and does require a small investment of your time. However, it is important to emphasize that it is not necessary to complete the assessment in one sitting, in one day, in one week or even in one month. Selecting one, two, three or more of the major categories in this document as a priority on which to focus can be a more practical approach than trying to "do it all" at one time. Also, you may want to consider a methodical process whereby you and/or your management team (or a key employee) conducts the assessment using a different module each week. This checklist can serve as an important business reference manual that can be utilized time and time again on an as needed basis on your personal timetable.

Two-for-One: Each of the 30 modules has a simple, but thorough, two-part process. The first part of the assessment process entitled ASSESSMENT will rapidly isolate any problem areas and identify opportunities for quickly improving your operations. This process is thought-provoking and will no doubt stimulate a lot of new ideas for you, or if you have a management team, will generate much discussion among them. The second part entitled IMPLEMENTATION is a management process that will help you prioritize and manage the implementation of any tactic or strategy as well as identify the "action items" that will have the biggest impact on your profitability.

Value: Conducting the self-assessment will have an immediate impact on both customer service and profitability. Conducting the self-assessment process on a quarterly or semi-annual basis will help keep you focused on your Restaurant's long-term objectives. Sharing the results of this self-assessment process with your employees and assigning them a specific problem to address can be a valuable training exercise and/or employee development tool. If a number of problems have been identified, it will be important to prioritize your actions based upon the highest and best return that can be achieved for the amount of investment you can make at this time. Additionally, comparing a previous quarter's results with the current quarterly performance will determine the rate of progress you have made in each area. Committing to conducting such an assessment on a regular basis will result in a continual improvement process that in turn will result in a higher level of customer satisfaction and restaurant profitability.

When to Use: In every business operation, opportunities abound for improvement. Increasing revenue, improving customer relations, and reducing costs are three critical elements for improving long-term profitability. A comprehensive self-assessment process, such as this one, will keep you focused on your mission, the three critical elements, and on maintaining your profitability. It is envisioned this checklist can be used in one of six ways:

1. You can use this tool to personally conduct an assessment of your restaurant.

2. You can assign one of your managers (or a key employee) the task of conducting the assessment as part of an overall employee development process.

3. You can have a Board Member, a Management Advisory Committee Member, or a trusted advisor conduct the assessment.

4. You, or a key employee, can conduct a partial assessment of your restaurant by using one, two, three or more of the major categories in this document to focus specifically on a problem(s) previously identified by yourself, an employee, or a customer.

5. You can utilize an independent consultant to conduct this assessment for you. However, that would defeat the purpose of a self-assessment program. A do-it-yourself process can save you many thousands of dollars in consulting fees, and, the truth is, you could probably conduct a much better evaluation yourself. Once you have identified a problem area(s), you may then want to engage an experienced consultant or specialist on a short-term basis to help with these specific areas.
