119. The Metrics That Make Multi-Location Drive Thru's Work

SUMMARY: This episode focuses on the practical side of manager accountability and why clear, measurable expectations are critical as a business grows. Ben and Drew explain how vague feedback leads to confusion and turnover, while metric-based systems give managers clarity, confidence, and a clear path to improvement. They share how a quarterly manager report card—built from weekly checklists, audits, and performance metrics—helped them scale multiple locations consistently. By tying accountability to core values, operations, and bonuses, they created a system that improved leadership development, reduced chaos, and made the business easier to run without constant owner involvement.
