What keeps a huge multinational business like McDonald’s ticking over every day when they have to rely on the input of inexperienced teenagers? Systems! What keeps franchises ticking over? Systems!

If there are no clients from whom to generate income, there becomes little point in carrying on a business. We all know how important the generation of new clients can be. And we know too that outgoings spent on advertising can have hit-or-miss results.
