Running a restaurant isn’t for the faint of heart. 60% of restaurants (and in some regions, 90%) fail within their first year (University of California, Berkeley). Even when everything works, industry profit margins are typically stuck in the low single digits (National Restaurant Association).You need skill to run a restaurant and be successful. Among these skills are being a people person, having creativity and financial know-how, and being a good leader. Industry turnover is high, and a lot of that has to do with lack of flexibility (or lack of proper tools) for scheduling.
