The key to keeping your restaurant's opening schedule on track is to take it one week at a time. Project managers who excel in weekly planning are more likely to make a predetermined opening date than those with poor planning skills.

Weekly planning and implementation is best accomplished through effective weekly project meetings that are brief, well-organized, and informative. This is achieved by using the weekly planning guide as an agenda.
