Why Day 10 Matters

So far you’ve:

  • Set a 2026 profit baseline (Day 1)
  • Found and quantified COGS & variance leaks (Days 2–3, 6)
  • Installed core SOPs and identified automation targets (Days 4–7)
  • Upgraded your menu as a profit lever (Day 8)
  • Learned how actual vs theoretical tells you if it’s working (Day 9)

Now you need one thing: clean, reliable data going into the new year.

“You’ve improved operations — now let’s get your financials organized so you start 2026 clean.”

If your books, inventory, and COGS are messy, your “scoreboard” lies to you. Day 10 fixes that.
