Plan the week
Suggested = your typical same-weekday sales from completed tickets (1 week to start · up to 8 weeks). Recent trend can lean newer. Apply is your call. Accuracy closes the loop.
Run the shift
Prep lists from plan × recipes, a live kitchen queue from Square, a morning brief (in-app or email), and staffing hours—build the week in Guiso if you still use a sheet, or sync roster from Square Team / Gusto. Not payroll.
Protect the margin
See waste in dollars and operating profit. Where to act: trim prep or cut hours—with evidence—using the schedule that feeds Profits labor.
PLAN WITH EVIDENCE
Suggested on Monday. Your call to Apply.
Review Suggested from completed Square tickets—as little as 1 week to start, up to 8 weeks of typical same-weekday sales. When recent trend is on, newer weeks weigh more. Apply when you agree, then check Accuracy (Suggested vs Plan vs Sold).
Mid-week, pace flags when sold drifts from plan; overnight Plan updates show up in the morning brief.
Receive the truck, Count stock, and scan invoices without leaving Guiso. No vendor POs or buying desk.
Use the diary and events to record what changed, so the next week’s decisions have context.
