About this skill

Problem to solve

Restaurant operators often face volatile metrics such as foot traffic, conversion, average ticket, and repeat purchase, but decisions may still rely on intuition rather than a repeatable path from diagnosis to prioritized actions. This skill turns the strategic thinking behind Sunzi’s Art of War into an operations workflow: problem definition, framework matching, solution ranking, and post-action review. It is useful when a vague observation needs to become measurable questions: which metric is off, which touchpoint to change, and when to validate the result.

How it works

The workflow is structured around a four-step loop:
- Problem definition: set the target metric and boundary first, such as entry rate, order rate, average spend, or repeat cycle, instead of jumping straight to promotions.
- Framework matching: use references like method-core.md, method-application.md, and method-advanced.md to map the issue to core, applied, or advanced analysis lenses.
- Solution ranking: produce a diagnostic conclusion, Top 3 actions, and a detailed plan that specifies who does what and when the effect should be visible.
- Review iteration: fill in templates such as checklist-quick-start.md and template-analysis.md with assumptions, actions, and metrics, then review progress at 2–4 week intervals.

The output style emphasizes numbers first and tiered presentation, and it asks for explicit assumptions when real data is missing. That makes it closer to an executable operating-analysis workflow than a generic strategy memo.

Boundary and cautions

The skill is oriented toward restaurant and similar offline operations use cases, especially diagnostic framing, action breakdown, and review templates. If live store data is unavailable, conclusions will lean more on baseline assumptions and require human calibration. It does not replace POS, finance systems, inventory feeds, or store policies; pricing, inventory, and supply-chain changes should still be validated against cost, margin, and labor constraints.

Use Cases

  • Before a weekly store review, break down traffic, conversion, and ticket-size anomalies into testable hypotheses and Top 3 actions.
  • Within two weeks after opening, fill an analysis template with entry rate, order rate, and repeat cycle, then set review checkpoints.
  • When reviews cluster on certain hours, match core or applied methods to produce an owner, task, and timing checklist.
  • Turn an intuitive promotion plan into a quantified diagnostic draft with numbers first and tiered recommendations.

Best For

  • Restaurant store managers: need to explain weekly traffic and conversion changes and select next-week priority actions.
  • Regional operations leads: need to turn multi-store metric anomalies into hypotheses, priorities, and review metrics.
  • Restaurant product managers: need to convert menu, pricing, and funnel issues into testable operations-analysis templates.
  • Franchise strategy consultants: need to apply Sunzi-style frameworks to store diagnostics instead of generic slogans.
