Episode 133 – Break Habits and Get The Restaurant You WANT!

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

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that hits close to home for many restaurateurs: habits. It’s a simple truth that the success of your restaurant directly mirrors your personal and professional habits. But what happens when those habits contribute more to burnout than to breakthroughs?

I recently led a deep dive with my Restaurant Masterminds group, exploring the art of breaking old habits and installing new ones. The goal? To shift from feeling overwhelmed by your restaurant to truly owning your role as its leader.

🔗 BOOK AT STRATEGY SESSION WITH DONALD

Why Habits Matter:

Your daily routines, the systems you use, how you manage time, and even the way you communicate with your staff and customers are all habits. Some of these habits bolster your restaurant’s growth, while others might be silently sabotaging it.

Breaking Free from Burnout:

Burnout doesn’t have to be a badge of honor. It’s a sign that something within your operational habits needs to change. During the call, we uncover strategies to identify which habits are holding you back and how to replace them with practices that empower you and your team.

Installing New Habits:

Transitioning from harmful habits to beneficial ones isn’t an overnight process. It requires awareness, intention, and the right tools. We discuss actionable steps to make this transition smoother and more sustainable.

From refining daily operations to enhancing leadership skills, the path to breaking free starts with you.

Episode 132 – 5 Things Your Staff Hates About You

February 5, 2024PodcastDonald Burns, Embrace the Suck, Leadership, marketing, masterminds, Outstanding Mindset, podcast, profits, restaurant business, Restaurant Coach, restaurant masterminds, Restaurant Success Summit, restaurants, Savage Restaurant Success, The Restaurant Coach, Warrior Restaurants, Your Restaurant Culture Sucks, Your Restaurant Still Sucks, Your Restaurant Suckstherestaurantcoachpodcast

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

Leadership in the restaurant industry is not for the faint of heart. It’s a constant battle, a dance with a beast that can either make you a hero or leave you in the dust. And while you’re out there, loving every moment of this wild ride, including the team you often find yourself complaining about, it’s time for some hard truths.

Yes, we all have our moments of fantasizing about drastic measures when the pressure mounts, but did you know your team might be doing the same about you? Behind the dedication and hard work, there are certain… let’s call them “leadership habits,” that your team desperately wishes you’d drop.

🔗 BOOK AT STRATEGY SESSION WITH DONALD

Here’s what you need to know before you become an unwitting star on a milk carton:

Your Chronic Lateness:
- Nothing screams hypocrisy louder than enforcing rules you casually break. Remember, respect starts with self-respect and punctuality.
Playing Favorites:
- This isn’t a reality TV show where you need to pick a favorite contestant. In the real world, favoritism only breeds resentment and disrupts team dynamics.
Banker’s Hours Syndrome:
- Leadership isn’t a 9-5 job. Being visible, especially during peak times, shows commitment and earns you respect. Don’t be the leader who disappears when the going gets tough.
The Office Hermit:
- If your team suspects you’re more interested in your office’s wall décor than the restaurant’s operations, it’s time to step out. Leadership is about presence, not seclusion.
Fear of Firing:
- Holding onto underperformers out of fear or indecision doesn’t just hurt your restaurant; it undermines your authority and poisons the team culture.

What This Means for You:

Recognizing these uncomfortable truths is the first step towards becoming the leader your restaurant needs. It’s about more than just avoiding being the topic of disgruntled staff chatter; it’s about embodying the leadership qualities that inspire loyalty, respect, and high performance.
