Run It Without You

How first-time venue managers make standards stick when they're off the floor
“The second I walk out the door, or when I'm off, they act completely different.”
— owner, r/restaurantowners
This is the 30-day system that keeps your standards in place when you're not there. It ends with the Night-Off Test: take a full night off, walk in the next morning and score your venue out of 10 against your own standards.
