How do you simplify your operations to reduce overhead and grow faster?

I was watching a video on youtube last night that was talking about how Chick-Fil-A is the most successful restaurant group in the country.

Per capita, Chick-Fil-A makes way more money than McDonalds, Starbucks, etc.

And their success boils down to the fact that their menu is super simple. This speeds up the ordering process, the making of the food, and cuts down on overhead.

So I'm curious: what are ways that you use the KISS (keep is simple, stupid) method in your business?

    Simplify by focusing only on your highest-margin services and cutting everything else. Use a single scheduling and invoicing app instead of three different tools. Standardize your processes with checklists so anyone can run the job the same way. Outsource or automate admin tasks like bookkeeping and marketing. The fewer moving parts you have, the lower your overhead stays and the faster you can scale without adding staff.
