How Not To Burn Your Specialty Of The House: Dealing With Burnout
Taking risks and running a new restaurant business requires energy. Lots of energy for every effort on a daily basis. Being a manager of a startup means permanent multitasking, which eventually goes far beyond and turns into overtasking. Lack of budget, lack of personnel, lack of time turn a restaurant owner into a Jack of all trades with inspiration and enthusiasm being the only fuel for each new day in the restaurant business.
Bad news: one day you wake up and realize your battery is low. No inspiration, no perspectives, no desire to move on. The business that once meant the world to you, now is just an energy consumer and a burden.
Good news: this too shall pass. But you have two options as a consequence: an epic fail or an epic win. And here are 5 steps to your epic win:
- Delegate tasks, even if you have one person to assist you at your new restaurant. Involve that one person and use some extra free minutes in an hour to relax.
- Use maximum free software to manage your business.
- Be sure to consult successful restaurant owners, find a mentor.
- Create a community right from the start. As you’re close to burning out, your community will boost your enthusiasm with their support and advice.
