Appendix:

●     Raising the average check total will be an answer about the plan to encourage customers to order more appetizers by a 15% average. Alex (General Manager, Downtown) believes that can increase in 20% when Gilly (General Manager, North) believes that will not have any increase at his restaurant due the public. 

●     The payroll reallocation was discussed but still not a goal due the uncertainty. As discussed with Deanna (Email: Project Goals)  and Alex (Meeting: Decreasing Guest Time) we need more data to create a clear and measurable goal.

●     The goal “Reduce guest wait time” was canceled due its correlation with the goal “Decrease the overage table turn time by 30 minutes” and can be measured by this point. This alignment was discussed in a meeting with Alex, Gilly and informed Deanna.

●     A new goal may be added after Carter (Executive Chef) provides specific metrics for measuring the improvement of the satisfaction of the kitchen staff.
