ScheduleTuesday–Friday · 3–4 PM ET
FormatLive Online · Masterclass (no replays)

Four focused working sessions designed for independent restaurant owners. This is not a generic AI class. You'll work with your own restaurant's numbers.

Not Another “Learn AI” Workshop

You're not here to collect prompts.
You're here to find profit.

Over four days, you'll use AI with your own P&L, menu, labor, sales and customer data to answer the questions that actually matter to a restaurant owner.

Where am I losing money? Where is my biggest opportunity? What should I fix first?
Four Days. One Profit Diagnostic.

Work on your restaurant.
Not a hypothetical one.

Each day tackles a different part of profitability and gives you something concrete to add to your AI for Profit Scorecard.

Day 1 · Diagnose
Tuesday, Oct 27 · 3–4 PM ET

Find Your Profit Leak

Use AI to analyze your P&L against Restaurant Strategy's 30/30/20 framework and turn percentage gaps into real dollars.

You'll identify: your biggest profit leak and estimated annual opportunity.
Day 2 · Prime Cost
Wednesday, Oct 28 · 3–4 PM ET

Find the Money in Menu + Labor

Use your sales, labor and menu data to uncover prime-cost opportunities and see how what you sell affects what it takes to execute.

You'll identify: labor and menu opportunities worth investigating.
Day 3 · Market with Intention
Thursday, Oct 29 · 3–4 PM ET

Build Your Brand Brain and Fix AI Slop

You’ll get the exact scripts and prompts needed to build a fully fleshed out brand brain. Your AI will understand your brand better than anyone else in your organization. You can then put it to work to generate images, copy, and marketing ideas to crush the competition.

Takeaway: Build Your Brand Brain and learn how to generate images and copy that actually drive traffic.
Day 4 · Grow Topline Revenue
Friday, Oct 30 · 3–4 PM ET

Find Revenue You're Leaving on the Table

Analyze PPA, beverages, desserts, sides, and server performance to increase profit by 20% or more.

You'll identify: a revenue opportunity and the behavior to coach first.
Your Takeaway

Leave with an AI for Profit Scorecard.

This isn't about leaving with a folder full of prompts. Each day you'll add another insight to one simple scorecard that helps you see your restaurant's biggest opportunities and decide what deserves your attention first.

AI does the analysis. You leave with priorities.
