Gravity works best when you solve one real restaurant problem at a time. Use the orientation guide to understand how the pieces fit together, then choose the installation pace your management team can actually sustain: 30-Day Accelerated or 60-Day Guided.
You do not need all 15 systems, all 30 tools inside a system, or every Gravity book before you begin. You do need a pace your managers can execute honestly.
Write the repeated restaurant problem clearly enough that a manager can recognize when it happens.
Use the smallest completed Gravity book or workbook that helps the team understand the practice. In Development titles are never prerequisites.
Choose the operating system that owns the record, decision, and follow-through. Start with only 3–5 tools.
Train before requiring records. Follow the chosen path, close corrective actions with evidence, and use the correct decision gate: Day 30 for Accelerated; Day 30 midpoint plus Day 60 final for Guided.
The 60-Day Guided plan is not the 30-Day Accelerated plan stretched across twice as many days. Its extra time is deliberately used between major control events for learning, practice, coaching, correction, broader adoption, stress-testing, and verification.
Best for established managers, reliable records, reasonably stable staffing, and a team that can handle concentrated daily implementation.
Decision gate: Day 30 is the final installation decision.
Best for newer leaders, developing teams, inconsistent records, limited system experience, or operations that need repetition between major steps.
Decision gates: Day 30 is midpoint correction. Day 60 is the final installation decision.
Quiet Gravity develops the person carrying authority. The Owner's Chair develops ownership and role clarity. Systems of Service establishes operating philosophy.

Examples: “ad hoc” and “PRN” should be replaced with as needed in normal operating language.
