The Restaurant Profit Blueprint

“The Restaurant Profit Blueprint” is a focused guide for independent restaurant owners who are tired of long hours, thin margins, and chaos behind the scenes. Rather than chasing trends, Jason Astwood walks readers through the foundational systems that drive consistent profit: menu engineering, cost control, staffing, guest experience, and modern marketing that reliably fills seats. The book explains how to track the right numbers, standardize operations, and implement technology so staff run the systems and the systems run the restaurant, freeing the owner to work on strategy instead of firefighting. With checklists, examples, and step‑by‑step processes, it shows how to transform a good restaurant into a scalable, multi‑location asset that produces predictable cash flow and long‑term value.
