🔴 CRITICAL ISSUES (Fix in next 5 minutes):
1. TABLE 14 - GUEST SATISFACTION CRISIS
Status: 🔴 CODE RED
Wait time: 65 minutes (normal: 45 min)
Order placed: 6:55pm (47 minutes ago)
Food status: Stuck in kitchen queue - position #8
Guest actions: Requested manager 2 times
Complaint: "Where is our food?"
Root cause: Kitchen ticket printer jam at 7:15pm
• 6 orders backed up
• Kitchen unaware of delay visibility to guests
• No proactive communication sent
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS REQUIRED:
✅ 1. Go to Table 14 NOW (apologize personally)
Script: "I sincerely apologize for the delay. Your food
is our top priority and will be ready in 8 minutes.
Your entire meal is on us tonight."
✅ 2. Alert kitchen: Expedite Table 14 (bump to position #1)
✅ 3. Comp their meal: $124 total
(Small price vs bad Yelp review)
✅ 4. Send dessert: Free (goodwill gesture)
Financial Impact:
• Cost to comp: $124
• Lifetime customer value: $2,400 (they visit 2x/month)
• Negative review damage: $5,000+ (reputation)
• ROI of fixing now: $7,276 saved
Time to fix: 3 minutes
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2. POTENTIAL FRAUD - SERVER #247 (JENNY)
Status: 🔴 SUSPICIOUS PATTERN DETECTED
Anomaly: 5 voids in last 60 minutes
Normal rate: 0-1 void per shift
Pattern: All voids AFTER payment processed
Void Details:
7:18pm - $45 (2 appetizers) - AFTER card charged
7:24pm - $32 (3 drinks) - AFTER card charged
7:31pm - $28 (desserts) - AFTER card charged
7:39pm - $52 (entree) - AFTER card charged
7:41pm - $38 (drinks) - AFTER card charged
Total voids: $195 (after payment = cash pocket risk)
Statistical Anomaly:
• Team average: 0.3 voids/shift
• Jenny today: 5 voids in 1 hour
• Probability this is random: 0.002% (1 in 50,000)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
✅ 1. Pull Jenny aside privately (next 2 minutes)
"I need to review some transactions with you"
✅ 2. Review void reasons for each
Ask: "Why was this voided after payment?"
✅ 3. Check cash drawer (should be $195 over)
✅ 4. If fraud confirmed:
• Immediate suspension
• Contact authorities if needed
• Document for termination
Financial Impact:
• Today's potential theft: $195
• If pattern continues: $195/shift × 20 shifts/month = $3,900/month

By catching now: $46,605 prevented (annual)
Time to address: 10 minutes

🟡 HIGH PRIORITY (Fix within 30 minutes):
3. LOW APPETIZER SALES TONIGHT
Current rate: 12% of tables ordering appetizers
Normal rate: 35% of tables
Time: 7:42pm (1 hour 18 min of dinner service)
Analysis:
• Tables served: 42
• Appetizers sold: 5 orders
• Should have sold: 15 orders (at 35% rate)
• Missing: 10 appetizer sales = $120 revenue
Root Cause (AI Detection):
• New server (Mike) started today
• Mike has sold 0 appetizers (14 tables)
• Other servers: 36% rate (normal)
• Issue: Mike not trained on appetizer upsell
ACTIONS:
✅ 1. Pull Mike aside (next 10 min)
"Always mention appetizers: 'Can I start you with
our calamari or spinach dip?'"
✅ 2. Give him appetizer menu section to memorize
✅ 3. Role-play 2 examples
✅ 4. Monitor next 3 tables (should improve)
Financial Impact:
• Rest of tonight: Can recover $60 (5 more apps)
• Mike's future shifts: +$120/shift average
• Annual (if Mike works 200 shifts): +$24,000 revenue
Time to fix: 15 minutes coaching
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
4. BAR WAIT TIME ELEVATED
Current wait: 8 minutes for drinks
Target: 3-4 minutes
Queue: 12 drink orders pending
Root cause: Only 1 bartender (Sarah)
• 2nd bartender (Tom) on break
• Break started 7:30pm (peak hour - bad timing)
ACTIONS:
✅ 1. Call Tom back from break (it's been 12 min)
✅ 2. Adjust break schedule (no breaks 7-9pm peak)
✅ 3. Alert servers: 8min drink wait (set expectations)
Financial Impact:
• Drink delays = guest frustration
• Risk: Lower tips for servers, bad reviews
• 8min vs 3min = 5min × 12 orders = 60 min guest time wasted
Time to fix: 2 minutes
