I spent 20 years on the floor figuring out what actually works.

The pre-shift that sets the tone before the first guest walks in.
The coaching conversation that changes behavior without killing morale.
The vendor call that gets you pricing flexibility you didn't know existed.

Every one of those moments has a system behind it.

Now I have built 44 AI prompts that put those systems into any AI tool in under 5 minutes.

The Restaurant Operator's AI Playbook covers everything from labor scheduling and food cost to staff coaching, guest recovery, and second location planning.

Not generic. Not theoretical.
Built from real shifts, real breakdowns, and 20+ years of figuring it out the hard way.

Fill the brackets. Drop it into ChatGPT. Get output that actually matches how restaurants work.

Most restaurant owners I talk to are already using ChatGPT. They just don't know how to make it actually work for a restaurant.
So I built this.
44 AI prompts built specifically for operators and managers — organized by role, tested across 15 different food service formats, built around the same methodology as The Coaching Playbook.
Every prompt you wish you had: scheduling, vendor negotiation, pre-shift coaching, menu pricing, turnover reduction, guest recovery, cash flow, hiring, SOP development, holiday planning, and more.
$20. Instant download.

In the journey of creating from scratch:
1. Collaboration is key; you never do anything alone.
2. Pulling yourself up by bootstraps is a myth—try it, it doesn't work.
3. Acknowledge community support; claiming sole credit contradicts the reality of public backing.
4. Ego hampers innovation; keep it out of your work, avoiding pretense. In 2023, major successes aren't solo endeavors.
5. Cultivate humility; even if it feels solitary, remember, you're not alone—look ahead for the positive things coming your way.
