Hey restaurant owners!
In this upcoming video,
I'm gonna teach you how to get 30 minutes an hour
or even two hours back in your week.
So you can work on the things you love to work on.
Or even enjoy a little more freedom in your life.
Stick around and watch the video.
I'm gonna teach you something
I call The Activity Inventory, right now.
Hey, restaurant owners!
My name is Ryan Gromfin.
I'm an author, speaker, chef, restaurateur.
I'm the founder of TheRestaurantBoss.com
as well as ClickBacon.com.
And I'm gonna teach you how to get,
gosh, even 30 minutes back in your week.
See chances are when you got into the restaurant business,
a lot like when I got into the restaurant business,
see I was a chef.
I loved cooking and I thought,
I can go and partner up with someone and open up a restaurant.
I would just get to cook all day but I'm sure like you.
I found myself doing administration tasks,
I found myself dealing with people a lot more than I wanted to,
with customers, with marketing, with all kinds of things
that we knew we would be doing,
but we didn't really know we'd be doing,
as much as we were.
And so whatever reasons you got into the restaurant business for,
whatever your magic is, your talents,
chances are you're not doing as much of it as you want
because you're doing all the other things
and you're getting frustrated because you want to delegate tasks
to other people.
You hear the word 'delegate' and you hire managers to do things
for you or to help you out
but then you hand them off and they come back to you.
And they're either not done or they're not done right.
And then you're finding yourself following up on them all day.
And the reason, things aren't getting done for you and your business
is because you're the 'bottleneck'.
Everything has to go through you.
Almost every decision has to go through you.
Almost every new process or new procedure or new menu change
or new marketing or new administration task or every fire,
you're the only one who knows how to do it or put it out
or answer the questions.
The reason that is, is the word I just used.
Things aren't systematized yet.
You haven't put things into a system.
So, I've got tons of videos and tons of other trainings
on how to create systems.
How to manage systems and develop people.
But today, what I want to talk to you about
is something called The Activity Inventory.
When I learned this,
it really freed up a lot of time for me.
Because remember, in this world,
you share one thing with everybody in the world,
no matter what.
From the wealthiest people in the world to the poorest
to everyone in the middle.
We all have the exact same amount of time.
So how do some people get so much more done
with their time than others?
It's simple.
They control their calendar.
They control their clock.
They don't let it control them.
Now what the activity inventory is,
is it's just you simply going through your day
and writing down all of the tasks
and things that you do.
Now this sounds daunting and overwhelming.
So I don't want you to spend a full week
writing everything down.
Because that list would just pile up and get huge.
All I want you to do is, I want you to go through your day
and find one thing, one thing that isn't your magic.
One thing that you wish you didn't have to do,
that you don't love to do.
That you wish someone else could do
but isn't able to do or isn't doing right now
because you're still the bottleneck
and then all I want you to do
is I want you to create a very simple system around that.
A documented processed system around that.
Again, I'm not getting into the details of it today
but just go and offload one 30-minute task this week.
One thing that you do every week
that takes you 20 or 30 minutes.
Take the time to document that.
Take the time to write down the process.
Take the time to train someone else how to do it.
And then remove yourself from that process.
Next week do it again.
Next week do it again
See so many times we get fresh air
and we think,
"My gosh, I'm never gonna get my freedom."
I'm never gonna be able to take any time off this work,
looking at it as this huge thing
but when you start inventorying it,
when you start looking at the things that you're doing,
it's 15 minutes here, 10 minutes here, 20 minutes here, 30 minutes here.
It's not 6 hours.
It's 6 hours that's made up of 5, 10, 15, 20.
And when you get 30 minutes this week
and then 30 more next week
and then after a month or two months,
you've got two, three, four extra hours in your week,
that's where the magic
in your business can really start to happen.
When you can sit down for 2 or 3
or 4 hours and really concentrate
on getting something big done.
I hope you enjoyed this week's tip.
This has been Ryan Gromfin with The Restaurant Boss
and I look forward to bringing you another great tip
just like this one, next week.
Have a wonderful day!
