GGB 01
Manpower architecture
Roles, ratios and rosters modelled from the format and volume — the people cost engineered like every other cost.
Development service · the people workstream
Service quality is a system wearing a uniform.
Venues do not have "people problems" — they have missing people systems: manpower plans built after the roster hurts, training that lives in one manager’s head, standards nobody can evaluate. GGB builds the people machinery: recruitment architecture, training systems and evaluation discipline that survive turnover.
The risk of hiring as improvisation
Opening rosters assembled in a rush become permanent payroll. Training by shadowing breeds drift within a quarter. When standards are unwritten, every departure exports them. The people system is either built once, or improvised forever.
- Manpower cost fixed by panic-hiring at opening
- Service standards that leave with each resignation
- Evaluation by mood instead of matrix
- Training time spent, competence never verified

The people discipline has a paper trail thirteen years long:
Operating manual, 115+ pages · January 2013
Restaurant training manual — chapter architecture
The nine chapters
- 1 · Manager training — orientation, position training, management training; GM and associate-manager job descriptions
- 2 · Restaurant operations — purchasing/receiving/storage, food production, beverage production, inventory, cash management, scheduling & shift planning, opening/shift-change/closing procedures
- 3 · Sanitation & safety — health-inspection process, flow of food, HACCP program, restaurant safety plan
- 4 · Exceptional service — customer relations, complaint prevention and handling
- 5 · Marketing — promotions, local-store marketing, the ongoing plan
- 6 · Managing prime costs — food cost controls, labour cost controls
- 7 · Financial reports — the restaurant P&L, the prime-cost report
- 8 · Managing employees — administration, performance evaluation, employee relations
- 9 · Employee selection — recruitment as a system
The design law inside it
- Every chapter closes with forms and checklists — training that lands as instruments, not advice
- Prime-cost discipline is a TRAINING chapter — cost control taught to managers before the venue opens
