It’s like knowing how to make a schedule, do inventory, or cover a section of tables if a server calls out sick and you’re shorthanded. It’s just part of the job. A lot of operators still might not do it, though, either because they underestimated how important it really is, or they felt overwhelmed by the math it takes to get accurate numbers.
