The messy decisions that eat your week
Real situations from real operators. If it’s on your plate this month, Maximus can help.
Employee issues
“My lead cook keeps showing up late. Coach, write up, or move on?”
Pay & promotions
“She’s asking for a raise that breaks my pay band. What do I do?”
Customer complaints
“A regular says we got their order wrong twice. Comp, refund, or apologize?”
Staffing & scheduling
“Sundays are slow but my team wants the hours. Cut the shift?”
Pricing & discounts
“My costs are up 11%. Raise prices, shrink portions, or absorb it?”
Operational problems
“The POS keeps crashing on Fridays. Replace it or wait for the fix?”
From second-guessing to clarity
“I’m not sure what to do here…”
- × Too many variables in your head
- × Unclear which risks actually matter
- × Days of second-guessing the call
- × No structured next steps
“I know exactly what to do.”
- A clear, opinionated recommendation
- Real risks named and ranked
- Three next steps you can take today
- Done in under two minutes
Three steps. No learning curve.

Get a clear recommendation
One bold answer, the reasons behind it, the risks, and your next 3 actions.
Here’s what you get
A real decision a restaurant owner asked. Anonymized.
"My top server is asking for a $4/hr raise. She’s been with me 3 years and is the best on the floor. If I match it she becomes my highest-paid hourly. If I don’t, I think she walks."
Counter at $2.50/hr plus a quarterly performance bonus. Frame it as a path, not a ceiling.
- •Losing a top performer costs more than the raise — training and tip-share disruption usually outweigh it.
- •A flat match breaks your pay band and creates pressure from the rest of the team.
- •A bonus tied to performance keeps the upside earned, not given.
- •She still leaves — be ready with a 2-week coverage plan.
- •Other senior staff hear about it and ask for the same — document the performance criteria.
- •Bonus structure feels vague — tie it to specific numbers (covers, tips, complaints).
- 1Write the bonus criteria in one paragraph before the conversation.
- 2Have the conversation in person this week — not by text.
- 3Map a 2-week coverage plan in case she still walks.
