Know Your Numbers

Success in life and in business comes down to knowing your numbers. The main reason is that numbers never lie. Numbers don’t spend 10 or 20 minutes telling you a story, or rationalizing potential reasons for coming up short of reaching a target.

Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves, to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today. – Stewart B Johnson

Know Your Numbers

Your numbers will give you immediate feedback. With timely feedback, you can make 3 critical decisions:

Stay on track – Keep the momentum going strong
Do more – Do it better or faster
Do it differently – Time to change the strategy

Some of the best people in the world for knowing your numbers are restaurant managers. Restaurants require hourly focus on the numbers to be successful. With over 15 years of hospitality management experience, I can tell you first hand, numbers are critical. We tracked tons of metrics to evaluate the success of the day. Numbers tracked include:

Number of guests served per hour

Number of tables served per Server

Average revenue per table & per Server

Average items consumed per guest
Average time to “turn a table”
Number of complimentary meals issued

Pick an area that you want to see change for the better and get to know your numbers. The process of finding this out will lead to 80% of your success. The other 20% of your success will come from showing up and doing the work needed to keep the numbers focused and going your way.
