In this Takeout Tip, Tyrell Reed breaks down the difference between systems that help you lead and systems that keep you stuck putting out fires. Most operators aren’t losing sleep over food—they’re losing sleep over missing numbers, mismatched schedules, and reports that never tell the full story. Tyrell shares how clarity and real-time data can change everything, helping you coach with confidence instead of guesswork.

He also makes a big announcement: Thrive POS is now the founding sponsor of The Pizza King Podcast. Built for operators, not just transactions, Thrive helps you see your business clearly and lead with data.

Key Takeaways:
• Stop reacting, start directing your shop.
• Use clean, real-time data to make smarter decisions.
• A strong POS system is a leadership tool, not just a register.
• Systems don’t lead people, but the right system gives you vision.
