the average table turn time by 30 minutes.

Appendix:

● The plan to boost the average check total by encouraging customers to order
more appetizer targets a 15% increase. Alex (General Manager, Downtown)
anticipates a 20% increase while Gilly (General Manager, North) believes there
will be no significant increase due to local demographics.
● Payroll reallocation, through discussed, is not a current goal due to
uncertainties. Deanna and Alex emphasize the need for more data to establish
a clear and measurable goal.
● The goal “Reduce guest wait time” was cancelled due to its correlation with the
goal. “Decrease the average table turn time by 30 minutes” measurable by this
point. Alignment discussions with Alex and Gilly were conducted, and Deanna
was duly informed.
● A new goal may be introduced after Carter (Executive Chef) provides specific
metrics for measuring the improvement in kitchen staff satisfaction.
