90-Day Turnaround Action Planner

If you can answer these three questions in writing today, you are ready to start:

1. What is our current weekly cash position (real, not optimistic)?
2. Which is the biggest leak — food cost, labour, rent, or revenue?
3. What is the deadline if nothing changes (lease event, supplier credit cut, savings depleted)?

1. Set a real deadline (the date you cannot miss).
2. Pick one phase per fortnight and finish it before moving on.
3. Hold a 30-minute Friday review every week without exception.
4. If a phase slips, do not skip — extend the deadline by one week and tell your team.

Pick ONE based on your data:

• Running too many fixes at once and getting none of them done properly
• Cutting service quality (cheaper ingredients, slower service) to save cost — this kills revenue faster
• Avoiding the conversation with staff — they already know the business is in trouble
• Skipping the Friday review when things get busy — that is when you need it most

• Cost Control 30-Day Playbook
• Cash Flow Forecasting Models
