When Your Market Disagrees with Your Vision: The 3-Step Reality Check System
Your bar looks the way you pictured it, but the room stays thin, and the regulars aren’t biting.
It’s not your work ethic, it’s a gap between your vision and what your market actually buys.
In this episode, learn how to read your numbers (PMIX, 80/20, substitutions) so the data points the way.
You’ll pick up simple “bridge” tweaks and 90-day test nights that shift your concept without losing the folks who pay the bills.
You’ll leave with a clear, no-drama plan to keep your vibe and make the register sing.
What You’ll Learn:
🌟 Why 73% pivot in 18 months and your first move.
🌟 How to read PMIX, 80/20, and substitutions to spot misalignment.
🌟 The one change that raises margins without losing regulars.
🌟 How to build bridge items that guide guests toward your concept.
🌟 Why vision windows beat full overhauls for testing profitability.
🌟 How to run a 90-day pivot that protects cash and culture.
