How your business is running, and how well it could run without you.
Vendor continuity is the weakest link — roaster contract expires in 38 days.
Clearing the 4 open risks below takes you to 100%.
Open · 6:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Theo Blake · Shift lead
Mid · 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Marisol Vega · General manager
Close · 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Marisol Vega · General manager
Close has no trained backup. If Marisol Vega drops out, you are the only person who can cover it.
What does the business still owe while you are away?
Understand recurring obligations, critical vendors, and which financial steps only you take.
Ranked by what breaks first if it is ignored.
No backup closer assigned
If Marisol calls out on a Saturday, the shop cannot close.
Weekend closing depends entirely on Marisol Vega. A single absence leaves the shop without a trained closer.
Vendor contract expires soon
You could lose your coffee supply with no alternate lined up.
Sightglass roasting agreement ends in 38 days. No renewal or alternate supplier on record.
Payroll approval depends on one person
Staff would not get paid on time while you are away.
Only the owner can approve payroll runs. Continuity plans cannot execute payroll without added permissions.
Emergency contacts incomplete
Whoever steps in would not know who to call first.
Insurance contact and attorney phone number are missing from the continuity plan.
Each factor and the single step that moves it most.
