I hate waking up in the Middle of the night as I find it really hard to get back to sleep, I’ve given up on sleep this morning as my alarm is due to go at 3am. This in itself is a daft time to get up but if I don’t leave the house before 4am my drive down to London and the office is just a nightmare and the lesser of two evils is definitely leaving early and only driving for 3 hours or so on traffic free roads.
One benefit of the early start is that I get to spend some time on my treadmill which is a bit of a bonus as I wasn’t planning to go to the gym this evening, to be honest I won’t have the energy for it!
This week is a crazy week (they pretty much all seem to be these days) as I work with my team to get the pre launch materials together to have them with our managers two weeks prior to our go live date. This launch focuses on products which have already been out in our test shops (the first launch that will have made use of the test shop program) and is relatively straight forward.
We are already planning another launch in early May which will focus on hot meals.
On today’s agenda is also a meeting to review which outlets will receive a facelift, the last 4 outlets which we refreshed are generally doing well and we want to start to build upon this momentum.
