Restaurant Reset: A Strategic Reset for Hospitality Entrepreneurs

About the Event

Is your restaurant busy, but the profits aren't where they should be? Join the Idaho SBDC for Restaurant Reset, a premier 4-part series specifically designed for hospitality veterans and food business owners ready to transition from "daily grit" to "strategic growth."

In today’s market of rising costs and staffing challenges, the "old way" of running a kitchen no longer works. This series pairs 30 years of hospitality experience with MBA-level strategy to give you a "Business Engine" built for 2026.

The 4-Week Roadmap:

• Week 1 (April 7): The Business Engine – Systems to help your restaurant run smoothly even when you aren't on-site.

• Week 2 (April 14): Product & People – Strategies for winning the "talent war" and engineering a high-margin menu.

• Week 3 (April 21): Brand Identity – Move beyond discounting and build a brand that creates customer loyalty.

• Week 4 (April 28): Financial Well-Being – Master real-time food costing and identify "profit leaks" before they impact your cash flow.
