Five easy steps to clean and organize your business email as a restaurant owner

 Being efficient should be the goal of every successful restaurant owner. Let's face it you can't afford to waste your time, and messy mailboxes can add a lot of unwanted noise. Save yourself the headache and take advantage of this guides for cleaning and organizing your email box.
1. Email time- schedule a specific uninterrupted time of the day to process all your emails, or you'll find yourself going over your email all the time.
2. De-folder- having too many folders can eat up a lot of your time since you have to sort your mail each day. Instead use just a couple of folders like Follow up/Attention- for work you haven't checked or one that requires your particular attention, Incomplete- for mail that requires more work, and Complete- for all finished work.
3. Filter- not everything you receive have to reach your mailbox. You can set up filters by using keywords, subject, or sender.
4. Automate- save time by sending canned responses which are a great way to quickly view and respond to emails without having to retype or copy and paste the same message.
5. Unsubscribe- to be more efficient you can set a time, collect all unwanted emails you wish to unsubscribe to, and unsubscribe at once saving yourself time and headache.
