## Resource

Show Notes (Survive Version) Episode Title: The Bathroom Test: Delegating the Dirt (Episode 76) Episode Description: "If you just yell, 'Someone check the bathroom!', nobody will do it." As an Assistant Manager, you can't abandon the register during a lunch rush to restock toilet paper, but you also can't afford to let the bathroom destroy your food sales. In this episode of Survive, Mike Hernandez explains how to transition from doing the cleaning to managing the cleaning through strict delegation and accountability. What You Will Learn: The Zone Defense: How to assign specific ownership of the restroom to a single clerk so tasks don't get ignored during a rush. The Gatekeeper Handoff: Why you must physically inspect the restroom with the off-going shift before allowing them to clock out. The Leadership Shift: How building a system of accountability keeps you from spending your entire shift doing tasks your team should be handling.
