Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara, framework 2 of 15
The Rule of 95/5
A budgeting rule that funds delight without blowing the budget.
Will Guidara's framework, from Unreasonable Hospitality, pp. 38 to 52.
- Manage 95 percent to the penny
Negotiate hard and control costs on everything the guest does not notice.
- Spend the last 5 percent foolishly
Splurge on the one detail, such as a tiny blue spoon, a rare final wine pairing or a team retreat, that transforms the experience.
From chapter: Chapter 5: Restaurant-Smart vs. Corporate-Smart, pp. 38–52
