• Indicates how the pre-opening process is typically sequenced
• Provides a centralized place to track assigned tasks and deadlines
• Offers a complete overview of the status of your project 
• Reduces overwhelm by making this many-phased process clear and concrete

WHAT YOU'LL GET:

• A comprehensive PDF guide that explains what this tool should be used for, exactly how to customize it for your project, when to implement it, and suggestions for other supportive pre-opening resources based on our decades of experience opening successful hospitality businesses
• An editable, interactive Excel document that will serve as the map to get you from where you are now all the way through a successful opening day
