How to Make Your Restaurant Budget Work for You

By David Scott Peters

·

I talk about the importance of restaurant budgets all the time. One of the best parts of my job as a restaurant coach is completing a budget with a member. It fills my heart with joy to see the hope they feel with a real-life plan to achieve their restaurant goals. Completing the budget process is the MOST important thing I do with each of my members in my Restaurant Transformation Intensive group coaching program. I’ve spent a lot of time teaching restaurant owners how to develop their budget. What I don’t spend a lot of time on is the common challenges restaurant owners face when it comes to their budget variance reports, when things don’t go according to the budget. In this episode of my podcast, The Restaurant Prosperity Formula, I walk through a couple things you need to know about how I set up a restaurant budget, and the two most common challenges restaurant owners face on their budget variance report, both related to accrual accounting.
