Episode 36 – Outstanding Restaurants with Kevin Boehm from Boka

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Welcome to The Restaurant Coach™ Podcast it is the cure for the common restaurant. Allow me to ask you a question. Are you happy with the results you are getting with your restaurant currently? If not, what are you prepared to do to get the restaurant you want? A mastermind group is a great way to get the support and the accountability you need to get on the path to getting the restaurant and life you want. It all starts with making a decision to take action. Head over to www.restaurantsuccesssmummit.com and sign up for my elite mastermind group that also includes access to our annual conference called The Restaurant Success Summit. If you want better results you need to take new actions.  With that said, let’s jump into the episode. There are so many gold nuggets in this interview that you might want to listen to it a few times…let’s roll.

I am honored to have Kevin Boehm from The Boka Restaurant Group in Chicago and winner along with his business partner Rob Katz of the 2019 James Beard award for Outstanding Restaurateurs on the show.

Welcome to the Restaurant Coach Podcast, it is the cure for the common restaurant.

Plus, we have a FREE mentorship program as our way to give back so you can get some guidance about your restaurant or career.

Let me ask you a question. Are you happy with where your restaurant or life is right now? If you said no, allow me to coach you as to why.

You know, deep down you should make changes in your restaurant and your life.

Why don’t you?

Change is a fickle thing. While it calls to us to embrace it, it is also is quite resistant to being caught. Change is a hypocrite. When you try to make changes in your life and your restaurant, it pushes back. Why?

You have a bunch of bad habits and blind spots. Negative habits are resistant to change.

Restaurant change starts with you changing your habits. I know that sounds basis and not exactly the answer you are looking for, but it’s true. ⁣

If you need help breaking bad habits then sign up for my elite group called Restaurant Masterminds. ⁣
