Restaurants Canada's Annual Facts publication now includes Business
Insights to help you take the information provided and put it to work.
Facts and data are good for your business if you know what to do with
them.
Creating an emotional connection with your restaurant’s guests
Imagine how successful your restaurant would be if your customers needed to come to you, instead of you spending money marketing to convince them to come to you.
How to train your staff for operations success
Getting the right people for the guest proposition you offer is the most
important step in giving your guests great service. Once you have good
people, you need to turn your mind to getting the most out of them.
Sustainable
restaurant food - some basics that are often forgotten
There is nothing sustainable about bad food. There is also no
"green agenda" when it comes to basic food quality. Lose your way
on the basics, and you may find yourself not making money; and not
making money is the fastest way to make your restaurant un-sustainable.
Keeping tabs on food and beverage costs
With food and beverage costs eating up more than one-third of a
restaurant operation’s sales, it makes good sense – and more than a few
dollars – for operators to keep close tabs on their food and beverage
costs.
How to achieve Operations Excellence
The best operators are guest focused. They do everything they can to meet and exceed their customers’ expectations and then some.
Going Head to Head with Retail
Guest counts are the engine that makes your restaurants tick. Keep your biggest
competitor in mind when looking to build your guest counts and you’ll be able to
capture at home occasions from the grocery store giants.
Effective Marketing – Do What Works

The role of marketing is to increase the speed of sales. Marketing doesn’t make
sales, it helps sales happen.
Putting your Aces in their Places
There is no better thing you can do for your business than to get the right
people for the right job. The less you have to manage your people, the more
money you will make. The same rule applies when you put your best people on the
floor.
Concentrate on your core strengths
How should a restaurant operator deal with a cash strapped consumer?
Treat them better than your competitors. Deliver on the value you
provide. When you work hard on what you are really good at you will
succeed.
Culinary matters when it’s a moneymaker
The formula for making money on culinary is as much about sticking to
what you are good at as it is about being on top of the latest culinary
trends. The more you sort out the innovations that work from the ones
that do not, the better.
The Formula For Making Money
The guest counts, the margins the square footage and the cash on cash
returns that will make you a bigger success.
Supply Chain Takes a Licking in 2010
It was a tough year in restaurants in 2010 - more burgers and fewer steaks.
Gaining a Return on Your Regulars
Listening to your best customers can be the difference between winning
and losing in the market-share game.
Are Your Suppliers Building You or Killing You?
Past the table stakes is the land of the great supplier; the one that
builds you. And they have a secret.
