Most hospitality venues operate in cycles, but they’re the wrong ones. Roster, stocktake, payroll, repeat. There’s rarely time to stop and ask: “Are we actually getting better?”
That’s where PERI comes in.
PERI stands for Plan, Execute, Results, Improve and it installs the one cycle that’s been missing from hospitality for too long: the weekly improvement cycle.
Weekly Beats Monthly (or Yearly) Every Time
Most venues review financials once a month or worse, once a quarter. That’s too late. The damage is done, and the learning is lost.
In our coaching sessions, we use PERI weekly. That means every seven days the venue:
- Sets a forecast (Plan)
- Takes aligned action (Execute)
- Reviews key numbers (Results)
- Identifies adjustments (Improve)
This isn’t an add-on. It’s a rhythm and the venues that adopt it outperform those that don’t.
What Does a Weekly Improvement Cycle Actually Look Like?
At Profitability Partners, we coach managers and chefs to:
- Plan weekly sales and forecast wages based on bookings
- Execute by aligning daily team actions with targets
- Review sales, wages, and COGS against plan every week
- Identify where to adjust, improve, or reinforce success
The goal isn’t to be perfect. The goal is to get better, consistently.
Why It Works
- Weekly rhythm builds accountability
- Visibility prevents surprises
- Coaching becomes data-driven
- Improvement becomes normal
Most Importantly, It Builds Capability
When your team knows there’s a rhythm to results, they get better. They start looking ahead. They learn to course-correct. And they begin to lead.
PERI gives venues a structure they’ve never had, but always needed.
If you want better results, don’t wait for the month to end. Start improving every week.
