The tradition of making a promise to yourself for the New Year may seem like a hokey one, but this time of the year can be a great time to evaluate how you’re doing and how you’d like to improve in the future. That’s just as true for your restaurant business as it is for you as a person.

Restaurant Hospitality collected New Year’s resolutions from chefs and restaurant owners. Some people made pragmatic business-focused resolutions like increasing their business’ online presence, trying to find new ways to reach out to guests, and taking the team out to other restaurants more frequently to get inspiration. Others had more touchy-feely resolutions like minimizing food waste, pairing up with local food banks and sticking more closely to the core values of their business.

More than anything else, the New Year is a an opportunity to gain some perspective on your business’ state of affairs. To figure out what your business’ resolution should be, try making a list of all the major mistakes you made and difficulties you faced last year, and try to pick the one you’d like to happen again the least. Try not to be like the majority of Americans who give up on their resolutions in the first couple of months!

This provides valuable convenience for overworked business owners and gets rid of some of the red tape in the liquor licensing process. Nevada followed the lead of Omaha, Nebraska, which recently made the switch to online liquor license renewal payment.
