The night before Thanksgiving? 

You already know it's gonna be chaos. 

Servers stressed, kitchen buried, and everyone's moving a little too slow for the volume about to hit. 

But if you’ve got 10 minutes before doors open, I’ll show you exactly what to say to keep the shift tight and the team moving like they actually trained for this. 

No rambling meetings, no last-minute guesswork, just a quick briefing that keeps guests happy and the wheels from falling off. 

Let’s get to it. 

What You’ll Learn:
🌟 Why most pre-shift meetings backfire during peak nights like Thanksgiving Eve
🌟 The 3-minute setup that helps your team move like they actually trained
🌟 How the 'one-touch rule' cuts chaos and speeds up table turns
🌟 What to say when the kitchen's slammed but you still need guests to be is calm
🌟 The trick to handling 86s without letting it kill your sales
🌟 A simple timing move that quietly boosts tips and efficiency
