The restaurants that survive the next 5 years won't be the ones with the best food.


They'll be the ones with the best systems.

Great food keeps people coming back.

But systems are what keep your doors open.

Systems for:
✅ Hiring and training people who don't need you to babysit them
✅ Managing food costs without sacrificing quality
✅ Creating consistent guest experiences across every shift
✅ Building leaders who can run the business without you

Good food gets you noticed.

Strong systems keep you profitable.

#RestaurantBusiness #RestaurantSystems #HospitalityLeadership

We coach multi-unit restaurant operators to build systems that drive profitability and reclaim time—so they can scale with confidence and spend their time and energy where they want to, not where they have to.

Your manager doesn't lack urgency.


You lack clear expectations.

I'm seeing this constantly with restaurant owners who've been in the industry 20+ years working with newer managers.

The owner is frustrated because problems aren't getting solved fast enough.

The manager thinks they're doing fine because no one told them otherwise.

Here's the hard truth:
Your manager can't read your mind.

You've spent two decades learning how quickly issues escalate in restaurants. '

You know that a scheduling problem today becomes a staffing crisis tomorrow. 

You know that ignoring food cost variances this week means bleeding money next month.

Your manager doesn't know that yet.

And expecting them to operate with your sense of urgency without clear timelines is setting both of you up for failure.

Stop saying "handle this when you get a chance" and start saying "I need this resolved by end of day Friday."

Stop assuming they know what "ASAP" means and start defining it (within 24 hours, by the next shift, before the weekend).

Stop blaming them for not having the urgency you have and start teaching them why speed matters in this business.

Before you write off your manager as "not getting it," ask yourself:

1️⃣ Did I give them a specific deadline?
2️⃣ Do they have the tools and information they need to solve this?
3️⃣ Have I explained why this can't wait?
4️⃣ Am I expecting them to know what took me 20 years to learn?

Your experience is an asset. But it becomes a liability when you forget that your managers are still building theirs.

Set the timeline. Teach the why. Give them the tools.

Then watch their urgency improve.

My entire 2026 planning strategy:


Pick 3 big goals.

That's it.

Not 15 initiatives.

Not a massive transformation.

Just 3 things that will move the needle.

For most of my clients, it's some version of:
✔️ Build stronger systems (so the restaurant runs without them constantly firefighting)
✔️ Develop better leaders (so they have a team that can execute without constant supervision)
✔️ Improve profitability (through better cost management, not just chasing revenue)

Too many goals = no focus.

No focus = nothing gets done.

What are your 3 big goals for 2026?

Things I know at 44 I wish I knew at 30:


Burnout isn't a badge of honor (it's a warning sign).

You can't lead effectively when you're exhausted.

Your team will rise to the expectations you set (if you actually set them).

Saying no is a superpower.

The best leaders aren't the ones who do everything (they're the ones who build people who can).

If I could go back and tell my younger self anything, it would be this:
Working harder isn't the answer.

Leading better is.

What's one lesson you wish you'd learned earlier in your career?

#LeadershipLessons #RestaurantOwner #CareerWisdom

Short and sweet today because it's the weekend before Thanksgiving:


Take 10 minutes today to thank your team.

Not a generic "good job."

A specific "I see what you do and it matters."

Name the thing they did well.

Tell them why it made a difference.

Mean it.

Your team is about to bust their asses this week.

Let them know you see them.

The 3 Pillars Every Restaurant Needs Before Scaling (And Why Most Operators Skip Them)

View newsletter: The Restaurant Framework

Every restaurant owner I work with wants to grow. More locations. More revenue. More impact. But here's what stops them: They try to scale before they

Open article: The 3 Pillars Every Restaurant Needs Before Scaling (And Why Most Operators Skip Them) by Christin Marvin • 4 min read

Most restaurant owners confuse being busy with being productive.


They're not the same thing.

Busy is working 70-hour weeks putting out fires.

Productive is building systems so fires don't start in the first place.

Busy is doing everything yourself because "it's faster."

Productive is training someone else so you don't have to do it anymore.

Busy is reacting to whatever crisis pops up.

Productive is planning so crises become rare.

You didn't open a restaurant to be busy forever.

You opened it to build something sustainable.

What's one thing you're doing this week that's busy work vs. productive work?

Your team doesn't need more training.


They need better systems.

Training without systems is just setting people up to fail.

You can train someone on your service standards all day long, but if:
⁉️ You don't have a clear onboarding process
⁉️ Your managers aren't reinforcing those standards
⁉️ There's no accountability when standards slip
...that training doesn't matter.

Systems create consistency.

Training teaches people how to work within those systems.

You need both.

But systems come first.

What system is missing in your restaurant right now?
