The 75% Rule

Too many owners tolerate mediocre results

They’re afraid to rock the boat.

They tell themselves, “It’ll get better with time.”

It won’t, trust me.

Here’s the framework that gives you a quicker answer:

Take a proven manager from another location. Have them run the mediocre store for one week.

Set 75% of that number as your new minimum expectation.

If the current team can’t meet or exceed those sales, they’re out.
