So, how are you? How is your restaurant? If I asked to describe your restaurants culture to me what would you say? Better yet, if I asked your team to describe your restaurant’s culture, what would they say? Would you be nervous if I showed up at your restaurant today and started asking the team questions about how you were as a leader or would you feel confident that they would only have great things to say. The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off. That requires you to be completely honest about where your restaurant is now as far as culture, product, and productivity. The four things that hold 80% of restaurants back is Ego, Pride, Denial and Mediocrity. I go into detail about each one of these in my new book Your Restaurant Culture Sucks. It is the third and final book in the Your Restaurant Sucks Trilogy and you can grab your copy on Amazon in either Kindle, Paperback, or hardcover editions. For those that like audio books…my first two books are available on Audible and iTunes now. Your Restaurant Culture Sucks is in production and should be available in September. On today’s episode I want to circle back to the one thing that separates the good from the great from the outstanding and that is…you guessed it: Culture. This training session is from a LIVE workshop did at Hospitality Innovation Planet in Madrid. So have a front row seat and let’s jump into the workshop…

This book has been a real challenge as I have COVID a couple of times and with the move to Arizona it’s been a whirlwind of a year! If you haven’t picked up a copy of my other books (Your Restaurant Sucks and Your Restaurant Still Sucks), this is the perfect time to grab your copies and get caught up on the series. Each book will show you another piece of the puzzle to getting the restaurant and life you want. Okay, enough self promotion. You have most likely heard that you have to work more ON your business and less IN your business. But how? Especially when you’re so busy running the restaurant, right? What if there was a better way? That way is to get better at time management. My guest today knows what it’s like to live on the merry-go-round of go, go, go until he realized that it was taking him away from the one thing that truly mattered to him…his family. Chef James Avery is the chef owner of two restaurants in Asbury Park, NJ The Bonny Reed and The Black Swan Public House. Let’s jump into the conversation where Chef Avery shares how he manages his time…
