Sample excerpt
Average check growth is often treated like a sales personality issue when it is really an offer design issue. If the menu, sequencing, and scripts are weak, even a strong server will produce inconsistent results.
The right question is not whether your team is upselling enough. The right question is whether the business has made the right upsells easy to offer and easy to say yes to.
