Fix the Reds

Red 1 Scheduled 30.5 hrs vs 25-hr Thursday budget today — over by 5.5 hrs
  • Use the late-morning overlap (three people on from 11 AM) for side work and pre-close so the close is not stacked.
  • Release crew early in rotation, fairly, during afternoon lulls — do not carry full coverage through slow stretches.
  • Cut hours mid-shift if pacing stays over budget.
Red 2 Tomorrow (Fri Oct 23) scheduled 38 hrs vs 34-hr Friday budget — over by 4 hrs
  • Leads today note who can flex Friday; use Friday’s overlaps for side work and pre-close before the evening.
  • Plan early releases in rotation for Friday’s slow stretches now, not at the close.
Red 3 Slow day forecast — sales estimate $1,300–$1,450 with no event lift today
  • One add-on ask on every order.
  • Push the pitaya spotlight ahead of Sunday’s Pink Pitaya Giving Day — Electric Mermaid Bowl, Dragonberry Bowl, Pink Pitaya Smoothie.
  • Mention the Stevenson student discount to students.
  • Mention order-ahead and catering to office and gym guests.
  • Check pitaya stock when today’s delivery arrives so Sunday is covered.
