Confirm the Property Requirements
Begin by learning why the owner made each decision, how the operation works and what the concept is meant to express. Confirm priorities, people, budget and operating conditions before selecting and adapting established methods.
Study the property as a working whole: the team’s responsibilities, the movement of a shift, the purchasing cycle and the experience the owner wants people to remember. Listen to the people performing the work and identify where unclear instructions, duplicated effort or missing resources interrupt execution. Establish which priorities belong within the available budget, what can be accomplished with existing resources and which decisions require the owner’s agreement. Give each agreed action a responsible person and a clear purpose, connecting the intended experience with the practical conditions needed to deliver it.
