Consistency Comes from Process—Not Personality

What we can Learn from Fast Food
When you want an amazing burger, you probably don’t choose a drive-thru.
But when you just want to know what you’re getting, you absolutely do.
That’s the power of consistency.
And it doesn’t happen by accident.
Fast food chains have built billion-dollar brands not on excellence—but on repeatability.
Every tray, every order, every shift runs on process.
No matter which location you walk into, you’ll get the same core experience.
Why?
Because behind the counter, everything is documented, trained, and reinforced.
Your business may not be a drive-thru. However, imagine what would change if it ran with the precision of a good one.
Consistency doesn’t come from hiring the right people.
It comes from giving the right people the right systems.
