Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast, it is the cure for the common restaurant.
In this powerful episode, I’m joined once again by TRC Method™ Lead Coach, Michael Kontras, for a no-BS conversation about the harsh truth most independent restaurant owners ignore:
Running your restaurant without a coach is a guaranteed way to stay stuck.
Michael opens up about his own journey—what it really looked like when he was drowning in the chaos of running his restaurant. Overworked. Underpaid. And dangerously close to burning it all to the ground.
Until he made one decision that changed everything.
We talk about:
-
The real costs of trying to figure it all out on your own
-
Why information isn’t enough—you need transformation
-
The emotional weight of leadership and how a coach helps carry the load
-
What happened when Michael finally reached out…and the results that followed
If you’re still telling yourself “I can do this alone,” this episode is a wake-up call.
No coach. No plan. No chance.
But with the right coach? You unlock clarity, strategy, accountability, and momentum.
Listen in, take notes, and if you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving—head over to www.TheRestaurantCoach.com and book a complimentary 1:1 Strategy Session with me personally to get a plan together.
Let’s go. Your future guests are waiting.
