  • 00:03:40
    Winter who beds money at
  • 00:03:43
    summer so everyone's pretty
  • 00:03:45
    straightforward you're not seasonal at
  • 00:03:48
    all no okay when was the last time that
  • 00:03:52
    we looked at opening hours hour by hour
  • 00:03:55
    we could cost in a transaction of what
  • 00:03:57
    hours ver wage there how much money is
  • 00:04:00
    coming to the
  • 00:04:01
    door every week every week yeah and have
  • 00:04:05
    you adjusted any of those hours because
  • 00:04:07
    you don't making money at any of those
  • 00:04:08
    hours the amount of stuff that I do per
  • 00:04:10
    hour just show you
  • 00:04:13
    times if you need to go through this
  • 00:04:16
    Jimmy's going to touch on this in the
  • 00:04:18
    next session at the afternoon session as
  • 00:04:20
    well so it's really important cuz what
  • 00:04:22
    we do is the same thing as like we just
  • 00:04:24
    operate for the sake of operating and
  • 00:04:26
    it's like yo how time on this stay
  • 00:04:28
    because then GE just get upset I can't
  • 00:04:30
    get his coffee you make $15 a day and
  • 00:04:33
    George can come on
  • 00:04:35
    Tuesday that's let be honest again it
  • 00:04:38
    comes down to emotions guys if we want
  • 00:04:40
    to maximize our profits and we find out
  • 00:04:43
    that we're losing money because so just
  • 00:04:46
    your W you got VES cons you Opera cost
  • 00:04:49
    you get everything so if you're opening
  • 00:04:51
    at 7:00 in the morning and you're
  • 00:04:52
    getting $ in and then at 8:00 you get
  • 00:04:55
    $2,000 in you think it' be better to
  • 00:04:57
    open 8:00 instead 7:00
  • 00:05:01
    say say labor
  • 00:05:04
    hours
  • 00:05:08
    out then second thing
  • 00:05:11
    is this I want you to all write this
  • 00:05:13
    down okay for every $10,000 worth of
  • 00:05:17
    Revenue that you make inside your
  • 00:05:19
    business you should be rostering 100
  • 00:05:22
    hours by front of house and back of
  • 00:05:24
    house
  • 00:05:26
    wages combin combined
  • 00:05:30
    okay
  • 00:05:32
    J we worked this out over literally
  • 00:05:36
    hundreds of disaters as being an
  • 00:05:38
    incredible Benchmark that Clays out over
  • 00:05:41
    and over again for some of you that are
  • 00:05:43
    hitting up to those you know 50 or 100
  • 00:05:46
    100 plus weeks you got the S to bring
  • 00:05:49
    that even lower F rest of the room gray
  • 00:05:54
    up may here actually knows how many
  • 00:05:56
    hours they no
  • 00:05:58
    ST yeah yeah does anyone want to share
  • 00:06:01
    how many hours you rest in this room
  • 00:06:03
    with yeah yeah g uh but when you look at
  • 00:06:07
    its rudic it's roughly anywhere
  • 00:06:10
    between 100
  • 00:06:14
    hours 100 100 to 15 to
  • 00:06:19
    8 okay so that same cons 20 hours for
  • 00:06:23
    20K yeah being could potentially sh 20
  • 00:06:26
    hours off
  • 00:06:28
    yeah
  • 00:06:31
    so that would be
  • 00:06:35
    shaming yeah I want to put in but what I
  • 00:06:38
    do what I do stress is between 100 120
  • 00:06:41
    hours the numbers guy me to say 20% oh
  • 00:06:45
    God uh so the tighter you can have that
  • 00:06:47
    a week to week is going to uh inform
  • 00:06:50
    that better yeah send you specific
  • 00:06:58
    code one the side no you find it that
  • 00:07:02
    was there yes the reason why because
  • 00:07:05
    there's two aspects of the wages she
  • 00:07:06
    hand W I'm a
  • 00:07:08
    rue right so your rer if you know your
  • 00:07:11
    Zer based roster and any terms out I'm
  • 00:07:13
    saying guys and you don't know what come
  • 00:07:15
    the r if you know your zero rer and then
  • 00:07:18
    you know your ab your 18 your b c and
  • 00:07:22
    your rostery on your Rue per hour your
  • 00:07:25
    like the skill ver for K eyes
  • 00:07:27
    percentages when your team your rostery
  • 00:07:30
    on the fact that you know they're
  • 00:07:31
    maximizing and they're fully trained and
  • 00:07:35
    you're still
  • 00:07:36
    high then it's a l issue now if you
  • 00:07:41
    um it's a Rey issue if you have not car
  • 00:07:45
    a team and you're like oh actually I
  • 00:07:47
    need four people because I need to run
  • 00:07:49
    this and I need to run this I need to
  • 00:07:50
    run this you need to look at are they
  • 00:07:52
    trained are they being maximized do you
  • 00:07:55
    really need that right we have three
  • 00:07:58
    trucks by dying cafes restaurants bars
  • 00:08:01
    absolutely epath and it works across
  • 00:08:03
    everything now like jimy said if you had
  • 00:08:05
    your office of like hot cake a week you
  • 00:08:08
    should be Runing as tighter much much
  • 00:08:10
    tighter but if you're sitting anywhere
  • 00:08:12
    between 10 grand to 18 Grand if you use
  • 00:08:15
    this
  • 00:08:16
    formula it's done to work yeah Bo here
  • 00:08:19
    is about 40% Maes at the moment with all
  • 00:08:21
    the increases and stuff like that yeah
  • 00:08:24
    some of you yeah cool so what and that
  • 00:08:28
    is is like kind a bit
  • 00:08:30
    specific if you're the only difference
  • 00:08:33
    aiming would be if you made everything
  • 00:08:35
    in
  • 00:08:36
    house right then your wages are like you
  • 00:08:39
    know you should be aiming than
  • 00:08:41
    5% right but your C should be
  • 00:08:46
    16% right you
  • 00:08:49
    get house
  • 00:08:51
    B is physically Spa unusual well yeah
  • 00:08:58
    unusual space of physically now to close
  • 00:09:01
    off the certain area try and change
  • 00:09:03
    those AG blocks but people want to
  • 00:09:08
    see so that's
  • 00:09:10
    one mind we could work what this has
  • 00:09:13
    meant to do is a challeng youring so
  • 00:09:16
    often like wi me this person right
  • 00:09:20
    don't position and from that position
  • 00:09:23
    you create a Boston and let you keep
  • 00:09:25
    that what you find that you don't need
  • 00:09:27
    half the hours because draw so invest
  • 00:09:29
    rering this they find a people roster on
  • 00:09:33
    what if on one ifet so people walk in
  • 00:09:36
    well you're not doing any MTH it you're
  • 00:09:37
    not making 10 people walk in but let's
  • 00:09:39
    all to own one
  • 00:09:41
    if I a mental one say to me that if you
  • 00:09:43
    having a for these 20 minutes every
  • 00:09:45
    a single hour then you don't make a
  • 00:09:48
    money I used to tell that to all of my
  • 00:09:51
    teams all all of my teams and they oh D
  • 00:09:54
    look so busy you know how from M than
  • 00:09:56
    that I gave them a 10-step process which
  • 00:09:59
    I used to call cats how to get yourself
  • 00:10:00
    out of the
  • 00:10:03
    document how didn't that to say um and
  • 00:10:07
    what that does is that set you te up for
  • 00:10:09
    success and it gets them like if you
  • 00:10:11
    have if you in the service and I st this
  • 00:10:14
    because of you're in cost SL you get
  • 00:10:17

    up you have 6 your team like that fine
  • 00:10:24
    you L 6 your team like that you don't

  • 00:10:33
    vision but this comes back to the
  • 00:10:35
    culture make The Wanted deposit and um
  • 00:10:38
    deposit SLE drawers acknowledgement
  • 00:10:40
    acceptance training development and
  • 00:10:42
    growth it's only being pie at in part in
  • 00:10:45
    me to work
  • 00:10:47
    individually no one it gets 100% guys
  • 00:10:50
    but you can get 80% 60% at a
  • 00:10:53
    time yeah make them can I ask a question

    and
  • 00:12:00
    that was like if you need 10 people you
  • 00:12:04
    probably make 10 you can make 30 you can
  • 00:12:06
    make 50 right with the same amount of
  • 00:12:08
    people but if you're not R out for a
  • 00:12:10

  • 00:12:32
    take yes the weather or other functions
  • 00:12:35
    happening in towns whatever Mar yeah but
  • 00:12:39
    what I saying is if you rer it only on
  • 00:12:41
    what is and then don't have in Bank of
  • 00:12:43
    like if you don't necessarily need to be
  • 00:12:45
    reactive around it you can be proactive
  • 00:12:47
    we you wning a people the hours and said
  • 00:12:49
    kind I that kind of thing so I like if
  • 00:12:53
    you have 10 things in your bank that you
  • 00:12:55
    know it's a beautiful sunny day that all
  • 00:12:57
    of a sudden starts to raining and you
  • 00:12:59
    can actually do something on the fly if
  • 00:13:01
    you might L socials or or something once
  • 00:13:05
    every two weeks that actually keeps that
  • 00:13:07
    civility there and you get KN that
  • 00:13:10
    all Market that's people yeah but like
  • 00:13:14
    and that's seasonal that's that but
  • 00:13:16
    there's some men and come dealing with
  • 00:13:18
    the member at the moment he's been ring
  • 00:13:21
    all already for the last 10 years and he
  • 00:13:23
    still havn't got to people all sh all
  • 00:13:27
    yeah well that's a whole different
  • 00:13:28
    scenario correct
  • 00:13:31
    thund
  • 00:13:33
    so what I make sure we're optimizing our
  • 00:13:36
    business we need to take a step back we
  • 00:13:38
    need to put our business on H we need to
  • 00:13:39
    get out of our b i we need to okay so
  • 00:13:43
    adjusting kitchen pre so off for
  • 00:13:46
    activity um don't just rely on people
  • 00:13:49
    doing the same thing over and over again
  • 00:13:51
    um how of can you change it can you can
  • 00:13:54
    you stop 15 minutes they work harder if
  • 00:13:57
    they started 15 minutes later
  • 00:13:59
    they need to do this of this have you
  • 00:14:01
    tried
  • 00:14:02
    it you try it once it doesn't work they
  • 00:14:05
    don't do it now but if you don't try it
  • 00:14:07
    and don't
  • 00:14:08
    not simplify the menu easing your prep
  • 00:14:12
    service
  • 00:14:13
    can what was it there a r if you haven't
  • 00:14:16
    got a product on know that used four
  • 00:14:18
    times in menu don't have it on
  • 00:14:20
    menu you like micro or one dish car
  • 00:14:25
    mics micro any CH you
  • 00:14:30
    um more pre pric still pre- main V be
  • 00:14:33
    this is building about cutting Corners
  • 00:14:35
    is not rec foring that cutting quality
  • 00:14:38
    of that's not what we do but and example
  • 00:14:42
    so I a Resturant as well and we get in
  • 00:14:46
    preut
  • 00:14:47
    Stakes fillets it cost me $2 extra to
  • 00:14:51
    get the fillet in and it's highend
  • 00:14:52
    quality fillet um is literally cut 250
  • 00:14:56
    Grand and it's not D responsible for too
  • 00:14:58
    sure that it is but it says my prep Chef
  • 00:15:01
    loads of ours inide an hour later
  • 00:15:05
    because the stakes are in there theity
  • 00:15:07
    that orang sh and you're getting in the
  • 00:15:10
    F and you're cutting you're losing it
  • 00:15:12
    anyway so if you have a head chef or you
  • 00:15:15
    have a chef guys go through let's review
  • 00:15:17
    what's going on are we doing it for the
  • 00:15:18
    sake of doing it because we've always
  • 00:15:20
    done it or is there a
  • 00:15:23
    reason we tell ourselves stories just go
  • 00:15:26
    back and if you go through and go yep
  • 00:15:27
    yep yep I'm sweet
  • 00:15:30
    amazing but if you haven't done it in
  • 00:15:32
    the last 3 or 6 months you need to own
  • 00:15:34
    that's who going to optim more I has
  • 00:15:36
    made vonia might be import to your brand
  • 00:15:39
    not house peel onun art like that's not
  • 00:15:42
    what your customers care
  • 00:15:43
    about but is it $2 extra or is it
  • 00:15:46
    getting more and more cuz these
  • 00:15:47
    companies are now going these chefs are
  • 00:15:49
    getting it in they're bumping it up
  • 00:15:51
    because they know that they're now being
  • 00:15:53
    because I do steak ink and I've got
  • 00:15:55
    Stone Grill which is a and I put it on
  • 00:15:58
    over the 6 months and I went to pre-made
  • 00:16:00
    pre-cut stakes and that was all fine
  • 00:16:03
    until they did you with a fry size of
  • 00:16:04
    $10 a kilo $10 a kilo we can't charge 70
  • 00:16:08
    or8 in the state because you lose a
  • 00:16:09
    customer so now I'm getting me and feel
  • 00:16:12
    myself but having done
  • 00:16:15
    the doing that because is extra 10 kilos
  • 00:16:18
    actually cheaper than paying a chef 40
  • 00:16:20
    bucks on a n this is the thing on but
  • 00:16:24
    your time is and py working all 10s K
  • 00:16:28
    right so but this is the thing obviously
  • 00:16:30
    you're get your Cs and you need to look
  • 00:16:32
    at the onch charge but for example we
  • 00:16:34
    had again I use like C trap it's like 50
  • 00:16:37
    bucks a kilo chel man got to go SN all
  • 00:16:40
    but this know if you can't give me this
  • 00:16:41
