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!

Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast. It is the cure for the common restaurant. So let me ask you a question…are you having a hard time finding people to work at your restaurant? I hear from so many restaurant owners each week saying that the war for talent is on like Donkey Kong. But is it really? Do we have a war FOR talent or is this in reality a war WITH talent. When people say that “These kids today just don’t want to work” my reply is “that’s not true. They just don’t want to work for you.” I want to share with you today the same cure I teach members of my Restaurant Accelerator Coaching Program. I can say with 100% certainty that when you implement the things I am going to share with you on this episode, you won’t have a labor shortage again. And all of this started with a dream I had….

Episode 79 -The Cure To Finding Staff…It’s Your Culture!

Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast. It is the cure for the common restaurant. First off I want to announce some exciting news! My first book Your Restaurant Sucks is going to be available on Audible very soon as an audio book! Yes, I know it’s taken awhile to get here and I am very excited to finally be able to get that out. Also, my third book and the audio book for Your Restaurant Culture Sucks will both be released in October. I also have my two-day Restaurant Owner Bootcamp coming up…I’ll put a link in the show noted for details and how you can attend. And last but not least I am holding my 3-day Restaurant Success Summit this October 25-27 in Scottsdale with 15 sessions and I am bringing in four epic experts to show you how to set your restaurant up for massive success! Speaking about culture? Are you having a hard time finding people to work with you? If so, you are not alone. I honestly think that the restaurant industry has done this to ourselves by creating an work environment that is plagued as a bad joke. How do we overcome this stigma? By taking control of our culture and showing the world that your restaurant is different. In this episode I’m going to let you sit in on a training session I did for my Facebook group called The Restaurant Coach Nation. Let’s see how you can create a culture that attracts top talent…
