Shawn Walchef led this Rising Tides Live conversation focused on one question: What can you do today to start planning for 2027? Restaurant operators, entrepreneurs, and hospitality leaders shared how they set goals, prepare for seasonal changes, review opportunities, and use AI to make better decisions. From Iano Dovi’s “7-7-7” system for planning seven days, seven weeks, and seven months ahead to Scott Kleckner’s advice to plan your business like it is much bigger than it is, the group showed how a clear plan can help leaders stay focused and know when to say no. The message was clear: Planning does not mean everything will go exactly as expected. It gives you a direction, helps you measure progress, and keeps every new opportunity from becoming a distraction.
