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…

Episode 85 – How To Brainwash Your Staff

Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast, it is the cure for the common restaurant. So, how’s this year been for you and your restaurant? Good? Great? Does it suck? Or is it incredible? Just know that wherever you are things will change. That’s part of life. You can’t stay the same or you won’t grow, if you don’t grow, you can evolve, and if you don’t evolve, you’re slowly dying. Look at the restaurant brands that are no longer open in your market today and you’ll see the same pattern. Restaurant opens. Restaurant gets busy because they’re new in town. They stop training and growing their people and sure enough they close. It might not be fast and that the sad part. They could just limp along for years before they life support cord is finally pulled. They could have been saved if they had asked for the right help. Instead they got input and ideas from others who were just looking out for them. Why is it that bad advice often disguises itself as good intentions? Now, if your listening to this podcast it means you don’t want that fate of slow death to happen to you. You want to break free from having your restaurant run your life and for that you need people. Not only good people, you need the right people. Once you have the right people on your team it’s time to brain wash them!

Episode 81 – The 12 Bullsh*t Lies You Tell Yourself

October 4, 2021Podcastaudible, Donald Burns, Embrace the Suck, Leadership, masterminds, Outstanding Mindset, podcast, restaurant business, Restaurant Coach, restaurant masterminds, Restaurant Success Summit, The Restaurant Coach, Your Restaurant Still Sucks, Your Restaurant Suckstherestaurantcoachpodcast

Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast. It is the cure for the common restaurant. Make sure to mark you calendar and secure your seat for my annual Restaurant Success Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona this October 25-27th. It’s 3 intense days with 18 workshops and six industry experts that are all committed to you breaking free from average. You can grab a ticket while they are available at www.RestaurantSuccessSummit.com. So, today, I have a treat for you. I’m going to share a chapter from the NEW audio-book edition of Your Restaurant Still Sucks. Yes for a few years now people having been asking me when are your books coming out on audio. Well, the first one is here and available on Audible and iTunes. My second book Your Restaurant Still Sucks in is production and my third book Your Restaurant Culture Sucks and the audio will be out just before Christmas. I want to give you fair warning that I hired a professional narrator…Sean Pratt to read my books for the audio version and there is a few reasons why. Number one: he’s a professional and has recorded 1000’s of book from some big name authors so I was honored that he liked my books and agreed to do them. Number Two: he’s damn good. Wait until you take a listen and you’ll see that he brings a great entertainment angle to the books and I myself have listened to it five times already! And number three: I teach my coaching clients to outsource things that they do in their restaurant to others so they can focus more on working ON their restaurant instead on IN their restaurant. This was a time when I felt that using a professional was a smart move that would allow me to focus more on coaching my clients, working with my Restaurant Masterminds group, and creating new courses for my Restaurant Coach University. I would have been a hypocrite if I didn’t follow my own advice. So without further a due, here is a sample from Your Restaurant Sucks….The 12 Bullshit Lies You Tell Yourself That Hold Your Restaurant Hostage
