Why I deleted our staff WhatsApp group (and why you should too)
If you own a restaurant, your WhatsApp probably looks like a war zone. - "Can anyone cover my shift Saturday?" - "The walk-in is leaking again." - "Where is the new hiring playbook?" - "Happy Birthday, Sarah! 🎉" (followed by 45 notifications) WhatsApp is where information goes to die. Important SOPs get buried under memes and shift swaps. When a new hire starts, they have zero history of what’s been done. It’s noisy, it’s messy, and it’s stressing you out. The Better Way: Skool.com We moved our "Internal Brain" to Skool, and the difference is night and day. Here is why: - Organized Chaos: Our playbooks aren't in a "chat history"—they are in the Classroom. New staff can train themselves without me repeating the same instructions 100 times. - Searchable Knowledge: Need the closing checklist? Type it in the search bar. No more scrolling through 400 messages. - Focused Communication: We use Categories. Shift swaps stay in one place. Maintenance issues stay in another. Your "General" feed stays clean. - The Culture Boost: Staff actually get "points" for helping each other and completing training. It turns work into a game they want to win. The Mogul Move: Stop managing your business in a chat app meant for families. Put your systems in a place that’s built for growth.

Use Higgsfield to relight your food images
Use Case: Quickly Edit Lighting in Any Image Link: ​Higgsfield Relight (Free to Try, Not Sponsored!)​ Why you should care: Higgsfield Relight is a new AI tool that lets you edit the lighting in any image with professional, studio-level control. Other AI tools like Google's Nano Banana or ChatGPT Image are capable of editing images to change the lighting, but there's a catch: you can only control their outputs via natural language. After one of these chatbots misunderstands you five times in a row, you may find yourself wishing you had more control and a better way to communicate exactly what you want to the AI. That's exactly what Higgsfield Relight does best! You use an interactive, 3D globe to show the AI exactly where you want the lighting to come from and tell it exactly what intensity and color you want the light to be. Here's how to try Higgsfield Relight for free right now: 1. Use the link above to go to the Higgsfield Relight web app. 2. Sign in or create a Higgsfield account. (Every Higgsfield account gets 10 free credits daily to test out AI tools!) 3. Hit the "Upload Media" button. 4. Upload an image. 5. Use the globe to adjust the lighting direction. 6. Use the "Light Settings" section beneath the globe to adjust the intensity, brightness, and color of the light. 7. Hit "Generate" to see your new image!

Use AI to fix things
Prompt Formula: Give me a crash course on how [HOME APPLIANCE/FEATURE] works. I don’t need to be an expert, but as a homeowner, I’d like to know generally how it works so I can better diagnose when things go wrong to figure out how severe the issue is, how time sensitive it is, and whether I can fix it myself or should likely call an expert. Quick Description: ChatGPT can't fix your bathroom sink for you, but it can help you figure out whether a project is a quick and easy fix you can do on your own or if it's a major issue that will require calling an expert. Use this prompt the next time something in your home breaks to save yourself some time and headache! How to Use: 1. Copy the above prompt formula. 2. Replace [HOME APPLIANCE/FEATURE] with whatever you're having a problem with. For example: "air conditioning" or "wifi" or "dishwashers". 3. Send the prompt. Once you've read through the crash course ChatGPT creates, you'll have the knowledge needed to diagnose the issue on your own and maybe even fix it yourself!

The Exact Menu Engineering Framework That Can Boost Your Profits 15–30%
One of the fastest ways to increase your restaurant's bottom line without spending a dime on marketing or new staff? Menu Engineering. Most owners just list dishes and hope for the best. But top performers treat their menu like a profit machine—categorizing items into Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles, and Dogs to make smarter decisions on pricing, placement, and promotion. Here's a quick breakdown ): 1. Stars (High Profit + High Sales): Your winners—promote heavily! 2. Plowhorses (Low Profit + High Sales): Reliable sellers—consider small price tweaks or cost reductions. 3. Puzzles (High Profit + Low Sales): Hidden gems—highlight with descriptions, photos, or specials. 4. Dogs (Low Profit + Low Sales): Phase out or revamp. Pro Tip: Combine this with a "Grand Slam Offer" style bundle (e.g., high-margin Puzzle + popular Plowhorse) to drive upsells and make customers feel like they're getting a deal. Who's tried menu engineering before? Drop your biggest win (or question) in the comments: Let's turn those menus into money machines. 🚀 #RestaurantProfits #MenuEngineering #Restaurantownercommunity

The Exact Menu Engineering Framework That Can Boost Your Profits 15–30%
15 minute leak
Most owners think they fail because of "bad food" or "bad location." They’re wrong. They fail because of The 15-Minute Leak. ​If your staff clocks in 15 minutes early to "hang out" and clocks out 15 minutes late to "chat," and you have 10 employees, you are losing 5 hours of labor per day. ​The Billion-Dollar Math: - ​5 hours/day × $15/hr = $75/day - ​$75/day × 30 days = $2,250/month - ​$2,250/month × 12 months = $27,000/year - ​That $27k is your profit margin. You aren't losing it to the economy; you’re losing it to a broken clock-in system. ​The "Mogul" Solution: The Staggered Entry Protocol ​Stop scheduling "Bricks" (everyone starts at 4 PM). Start scheduling "Waves." 1. ​Prep Wave (4:00 PM): Only the 2 people needed for station setup. 2. ​Service Wave (4:30 PM): The primary floor staff. 3. ​Rush Wave (5:15 PM): The "on-call" support only when the first ticket hits the kitchen.
