Myth #1: Big Money Equals Effective Marketing

  • Busted: You don’t need to break the bank to make an impact. Forget generic social media posts; it’s about being creative, courageous, and a little weird. Think about it: a wing warrior challenge or a seductive wing-eating video will grab attention way more than a standard wings and beer photo.

Myth #2: Marketing Creates Your Brand

  • Busted: No amount of marketing can fix a bad brand. Your brand is your core values, your purpose, and the emotions you evoke. Marketing is just the messenger. Remember: People buy why you do it, not what you do.

Myth #3: Instant Marketing Results

  • Busted: Marketing is a marathon, not a sprint. Think of it as planting seeds for a future harvest. Post daily, engage with your audience, and give it time to mature. Expecting instant results is like expecting a tidal wave from a pebble.

Myth #4: Facebook Is All You Need

  • Busted: Relying solely on Facebook for marketing? Time to diversify. Explore Instagram, IGTV, and don’t underestimate the power of a good old email blast. And remember, video content is king.

Breaking Free from the BS

  • Becoming better at marketing means ditching outdated tactics and embracing the truth. You’ve got the myths busted now; it’s time to take action with these newfound insights.

Episode 130 – Why Your 80 Hour Workweek is Stupid



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

In our latest eye-opening episode, we’re tackling a taboo yet critical topic in the restaurant industry – the glorification of the 80-hour workweek. It’s time for a hard-hitting reality check: your 80-hour workweek is not just exhausting; it’s downright stupid.

Breaking Down the Myth:

The industry has long worn the 80-hour workweek as a badge of honor, a testament to dedication and hard work. But at what cost? We delve into the physical, mental, and emotional toll this unsustainable work culture takes on restaurant owners and their teams.

The Cost of Overworking:

  • Physical and Mental Health: Long hours on your feet, stress, and lack of sleep are a recipe for disaster.
  • Personal Relationships: When was the last time you had a meaningful interaction with your loved ones?
  • Business Blindness: Being overworked can lead to poor decision-making and a lack of innovation.

  • Streamline Operations: Implement systems that work so you don’t have to overwork.
