Do you ever worry what will happen to your business if you get hit by a bus? Yeah, me too. And I tell my clients all the time, “A quality management system comprised of good policies, procedures, and work instructions will handle all the details of running your business for you, so you can work on growing your business instead of doing your business.” A recent article in Washington Business Journal shows the strength of my position. Nea{cosmo}politan Pizza Favorite Rises To Franchise Heights, WBJ, August 26, 2016, p.6. http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/news/2016/08/24/attention-pizza-lovers-there-soon-could-be-many.html
A husband and wife team started moving pizza from a food cart and then opened one great Neapolitan pizza business, Pupatella, that gets national recognition. But, they hate dealing with the day-to-day details of running the business and their lack of a detailed quality management system has prevented them from opening additional locations. To get over this obstacle to growing their business, they hired an outside consultant who grew his own business from one to 50 locations by putting in organizational systems and formalized processes.
Hopefully, the expert will give them the playbook they need to grow the number of locations they want and Puppatellas will be popping up everywhere.
I help people optimize their businesses by helping owners stuck working in their businesses work on them instead by proceduralizing them from top to bottom, side to side, front to back, start to finish.
