I was wondering if there is some kind of industry-standard set of procedures for anything, like running a restaurant or a bar.
If you imagine someone running a beergarden, they are independently managing all aspects, like buying and shipping in drinks, kegs of beer, getting gas for the tap replaced, the electricity bill and rent, cleaning, maintaining dishwashers and the electronic payment system, incidents of theft on the premises, food hygiene and safety, and so on.
Is there some way to try to implement a highly standardized procedure to run such a business so that you would not have to learn everything from scratch on your own, to varying levels of success, but maybe a company or organization supplies you with everything you need to run the actual business - not just supplies and equipment, but everything including management policy, employee management systems like what software system you would use, what the employment contract and rights will be, salaries and promotion guidelines; everything. Like, if Starbucks or Chipotle have some kind of standardized business model they can replicate from place to place - or also retail outlets like Nike, Apple, American Apparel - or also hotels like the Four Seasons or Marriott - unless there is a known franchise that provides the product you already had in mind, is there some fallback to at least adopt from or borrow as many standardized components as possible? Like, you could just use some specific software that manages all aspects of employment so you have automatically a really good system, without needing to be able to build one yourself? You just follow along with the app. And the same for everything else, some standard food provider/caterer, some standard business consultancy / pricing agency, or something?
