Episode 109 – How Your Team Can Get a Raise in 90-Days (and Make You More Profits)



Welcome to the Restaurant Coach Podcast it is the cure for the common restaurant. Average happens way to often in our industry. I don’t think it has to be that way. You opened your restaurant with big goals and high standards. Then reality slapped you upside the head and you gave in a little to make the stress feel a little better. Big mistake.

You can’t let your team or others talk you into lowering you standards. You need motivated people around you to raise your restaurant to the level you want it to be. So, how can you do that? Educate you team and help them become better people. All business problems are people problems. You can fight this or you can get to work fixing the people problems. So many of my podcast are directed for the restaurant owners or operators (I hate the word manager BTW).

On this episode I want to take you inside a training session I did in my private (and FREE) Facebook group called The Restaurant Coach Nation. I’m going to show the people on your team how to get a raise in 90-days that helps them make more money and helps you make more profits. Let’s jump in….

Episode 107 – What’s Holding You Back? Anchors and Accelerators!



Success is 80% psychological and 20% systems and strategies. This is we’re the majority of restaurant coaches go wrong…they coach on the 20%!

Every October I host my three day Restaurant Success Summit here in Arizona for my coaching members. On day one I always start with a mindset workshop because you learn to control your emotions and mindset is more critical that any new checklist or software. You learning more about your strengths. Your weaknesses. And what you should focus on over trying to control everything is the key to having a restaurant that doesn’t run your life.

On today’s episode, I was to take you into a workshop I did at a previous Restaurant Success Summit and introduce you to the idea of anchors and accelerators…let’s jump into the LIVE workshop…

It starts with getting clear on your core values and then getting on your soapbox and preaching these values every single day.

The thing that impresses me about Zack is not just the amazing service he offers which allows restaurants to create a better guest experience for their guests digitally…he also has created an incredible culture that has allowed his brand to see rapid growth year after year. Today I had a chance to ask he what are the keys to achieving a successful culture. Let’s go to the studio…
