It’s been a hugely busy week but one that has been immensely satisfying. On the product front we have concluded our plans for the next two months and have some interesting products due to launch shortly. On the people front we have recruited a couple of very talented managers and have attracted quite a number of people who we think could do a good job for us. In terms of place, we have started the process of defining the essence of our brands as well as making progress on the new look and feel of our restaurants.
Now the items listed above don’t sound much but have involved a lot of work. We have also pressed the “go” button on our new way forward with food which is a project which will transform both the way in which we support our store managers in giving our customer the best possible experience whilst improving on our current operating model.
All of these initiatives will take time to come through and make a difference so we will be doing a lot of work on improving things in the short term.
Right, that’s enough about work, time to hit the treadmill as my quest to lose the weight that I have gained since my time in Egypt goes on, I’m please with the fact that I have lost 9 pounds since Christmas but I still have a ways to go.
