If working within the hospitality sector has taught us anything, it’s that flexibility and adaptability are critical to a restaurant’s survival. It is those operators who have been able to quickly pivot and adapt their carefully laid plans to account for what is happening in the market right now. Successful operators are those who are not only able to plan ahead but can adjust those plans when needed, utilise the right tools and assess the impact on their budget.
