Understanding Critical Business Processes
Identifying critical business processes is essential for maintaining an organization’s operations and securing its assets. These processes impact the organization’s ability to meet critical needs and regulatory requirements, requiring immediate restoration after any disruption.

A disruption in this process may lead customers to abandon the restaurant for alternatives, resulting in lost revenue and potential reputational damage.
