Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast, it is the cure for the common restaurant. Right now the COVID-19 pandemic is wreaking havoc on you as a leader! Join me and special guest, Kelley Jones, from Kelley Jones Hospitality and he drops tips you can apply NOW to become a better leader and emerge from this crisis even stronger.

But before we get to the interview, let me ask you a question about your numbers. Are you happy with the profits you are seeing currently? If not, what if I had a way to increase your profits 5-10% in the next 90-days? Sound too good to be true? Well, it’s not. In fact, over 100 other independent restaurants have done exactly that by tracking and managing certain Key Performance Indicators or KPIs. In fact, I would bet that you could be leaving 5-15% on the table by not monitoring your KPIs. I partnered up with the leading KPI expert in the world, Darren Manzari and we created a system that will not only allow you to track and manage your KPIs, we’re going to coach you on how to improve them so you can put more money in the bank. You can start by taking the Restaurant KPI Mastery Challenge to see how effective you are right now at running your restaurant. It just takes a few minutes and I am sure the results will shock you. Head over to www.restaurantKPImastery.com to take the challenge. Okay, let’s dig into the conversation with Kelley Jones…
