Business owners are burnt out working 7 days a week because the business requires constant face-to-face oversight to prevent employees and managers from causing operational problems, and they cannot step back without things deteriorating.

No software solution is mentioned or implied; the owners need a way to maintain quality and operational consistency without being physically present, which current management tools can't fully address due to the secretive, hands-on nature of the business.
