[EPIC] What Systems do we need to create? #113

@nelsonic

Description

@nelsonic

In order to make the @home successful and avoid chaos, we need to define several systems.

A SYSTEM is a comprehensively documented and fool-proof list of actions that anyone can follow.
If a task is delegated to Person A but is not comprehensively documented so that anyone could pick it up if Person A is not available then it's not a SYSTEM, it's that simple.

McDonalds is a SYSTEM; there are Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for everything.
Your local Mom & Pop restaurant where all training and instructions are verbal is not.
They may look similar on the surface; both are run by people and have a similar end result; food.
But they could not be more different in practice!
One is scalable, resilient and consistently profitable.
The other is stressful lifestyle business that teeters on the verge of bankruptcy.

The purpose of this issue is to serve as an Epic to list all the systems and link to sub-issues.
We need an ordered list of the systems and to ensure that all are captured. (please add to the list!)
