Episode 83 – The Cure For the Labor Crisis



Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast. It is the cure for the common restaurant. So let me ask you a question…are you having a hard time finding people to work at your restaurant? I hear from so many restaurant owners each week saying that the war for talent is on like Donkey Kong. But is it really? Do we have a war FOR talent or is this in reality a war WITH talent. When people say that “These kids today just don’t want to work” my reply is “that’s not true. They just don’t want to work for you.” I want to share with you today the same cure I teach members of my Restaurant Accelerator Coaching Program. I can say with 100% certainty that when you implement the things I am going to share with you on this episode, you won’t have a labor shortage again. And all of this started with a dream I had….

Episode 81 – The 12 Bullsh*t Lies You Tell Yourself



Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast. It is the cure for the common restaurant. Make sure to mark you calendar and secure your seat for my annual Restaurant Success Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona this October 25-27th. It’s 3 intense days with 18 workshops and six industry experts that are all committed to you breaking free from average. You can grab a ticket while they are available at www.RestaurantSuccessSummit.com. So, today, I have a treat for you. I’m going to share a chapter from the NEW audio-book edition of Your Restaurant Still Sucks. Yes for a few years now people having been asking me when are your books coming out on audio. Well, the first one is here and available on Audible and iTunes. My second book Your Restaurant Still Sucks in is production and my third book Your Restaurant Culture Sucks and the audio will be out just before Christmas. I want to give you fair warning that I hired a professional narrator…Sean Pratt to read my books for the audio version and there is a few reasons why. Number one: he’s a professional and has recorded 1000’s of book from some big name authors so I was honored that he liked my books and agreed to do them. Number Two: he’s damn good. Wait until you take a listen and you’ll see that he brings a great entertainment angle to the books and I myself have listened to it five times already! And number three: I teach my coaching clients to outsource things that they do in their restaurant to others so they can focus more on working ON their restaurant instead on IN their restaurant. This was a time when I felt that using a professional was a smart move that would allow me to focus more on coaching my clients, working with my Restaurant Masterminds group, and creating new courses for my Restaurant Coach University. I would have been a hypocrite if I didn’t follow my own advice. So without further a due, here is a sample from Your Restaurant Sucks….The 12 Bullshit Lies You Tell Yourself That Hold Your Restaurant Hostage
