Operations & Margin

The honest paperwork of running an independent restaurant — daily, weekly, monthly. The sheets that keep prime cost from drifting.

When to reach for this pack

Reach for this pack when a number is moving and you don't know which one. The sheets here are the standing practice that keeps prime cost honest, the line check that catches the temp gap, and the cash log that ends the over/short conversation. Skip it if you already have a system and just need a fillable form — your existing routine probably won't benefit from another one.

Live

Drop in ingredients, AP prices, and yields. Walk away with plate cost, target price at your food-cost goal, and a printable card for the binder.

You leave with: A printed cost card with target price and food-cost percent.

Cadence: Per recipe

Live

Weekly Prime Cost Worksheet

The single most important number a small operator can track. Plug in food, beverage, and labor costs against net sales. See your prime cost percent and where it sits versus the 60 percent ceiling.

Cadence: Weekly · Tuesday for prior week

Live

Live

Pre-Service Line Check

Ten-minute walk before doors open — temps, prep par, 86 list, expo notes. Lives on a clipboard; built to print.

You leave with: An 86 list, a prep gap list, and a temp-log paper trail for the health inspector.

Cadence: Daily · twice per shift

Live

You leave with: Weekly waste in dollars, your top 5 offenders, and the reason-code mix.

Cadence: Daily entry · weekly review

Live

Catch short-shipped, substituted, or price-creep items at the back door — before the truck leaves. Vendor, line, qty ordered versus received, unit-price change, temps for proteins and dairy.

You leave with: A credit-request flag list and a unit-cost change list for your buyer.

Local SEO & Discovery

How Google sees your restaurant — and the small habits that keep your listing earning bookings.

When to reach for this pack

Reach for this pack when bookings dipped and you have not changed anything in the kitchen. Most of what looks like a slow week is a stale Google listing, a NAP mismatch across twelve citation sources, or a holiday hours field nobody updated. The sheets here turn fifteen minutes a month into the most leveraged marketing work an independent can do. Skip it if your GBP is already on the dashboard of an agency you trust to keep it current.

Conversions & Reservations

What the website and the third-party channels actually deliver — measured against what they cost.

When to reach for this pack

Reach for this pack when the dining room is full but the margin is not. The sheets here settle three arguments most operators have at least once a quarter: is DoorDash actually paying us, are we losing reservations to no-shows we never priced, and is the website itself the leak. Skip it if you do not run third-party delivery and your reservation book is mostly walk-ins.

Brand & Design

The handoffs your designer, photographer, and printer need — written down once so the work can move.

When to reach for this pack

Reach for this pack the day before you call the designer, the photographer, or the sign vendor. Every minute spent filling these is twenty minutes saved in the back-and-forth, and the work that comes back will look like what you asked for. Skip it if you have an in-house creative who already has the brief in their head — these are for the operator who hires by project.

Trust & Reviews

The paperwork that makes you defensible — to a guest, to a health inspector, to an insurer.

When to reach for this pack

Reach for this pack the week before the inspection, the day a complaint repeats, or the moment something goes wrong on the floor. These four sheets carry a regional disclaimer because health code, allergen labeling, hire reporting, and incident protocol all vary by jurisdiction — verify with your local authority. The fifth and sixth (review-response and root-cause) are universal. Skip the regulatory ones if you have a compliance partner who runs them; pull the review and root-cause logs anyway, those are operator work.

Live

Platform, reviewer, stars, theme tag, response date, responder, follow-up needed. Catches the recurring complaint hiding in the 3-star reviews.

You leave with: Response-rate percent and the top recurring complaint themes.

Cadence: Weekly

Live

Complaint Root-Cause Tracker

Date, channel, category, root cause, fix, owner. Logs the cause, not the symptom — "expo gap," not "cold food."

You leave with: Top three recurring causes and who owns each fix.

Cadence: Weekly

Live

Open the Doors course

The printable companion artifacts to the Open the Doors bootcamp — one tear-sheet per lesson, fillable in the browser or on paper.

When to reach for this pack

Reach for this pack if you've walked the Open the Doors bootcamp at /course/ and you want a clipboard copy of the work — a promise paragraph on the host stand, the menu shortlist in the kitchen lead's binder, the 30-day rhythm pinned next to the printer. Every sheet matches a lesson and uses your saved answers from MuntinContext when present. Skip the pack if you'd rather keep the work in the browser; the bootcamp's L14 generator already pulls every field into the deployed site.

What these sheets do not cover

Operator Sheets do not cover payroll calculation, tax filing, tip-pool allocation, predictive-scheduling forms, I-9 / W-4 / state new-hire reporting. These are jurisdiction-specific and a small site cannot maintain accurate forms across 50 states. We name what we exclude rather than ship something that could land an operator on the wrong side of a law.

Free, no signup. Pack 1 (Operations & Margin) is shipping first; the rest follow on a rolling cadence.
