328. How to Start a Restaurant and Rock It to Several - Jonathan Weathington


Listen Later

Many of us had a dream to start a restaurant.
How many of you started your restaurant with just a dream and no experience?
How many of you want to start but don’t know where to start?
This is your episode?
In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, I’m speaking with Jonathan Weathington, the CEO of Shuckin Shack, a super cool Oyster and Bar concept.
Childhood friends had an idea to start a restaurant with the goal of “just staying open”! Sure, there were mistakes and experiments along the way, but now that that place has grown to 19 restaurants, and they are still opening more.
Listen as Jonathan tells us:
👉 Why his founder friends made him the CEO
👉 The moves he’s making to grow this brand and concept
👉 How company culture and the Vibe of Shuckin Shack are one and the same
👉 Why you should put your guest hat on when you walk through your door
👉 How innovation and creative ideas not only benefit community causes but are also powerful marketing
👉 The emphasis on service and how onboarding and training create guest loyalty
👉 It’s as simple as “treat people right and they’ll come back”!
Jonathan shares his best advice on how to run a successful restaurant, what they are looking for in potential partners and more.
Watch or Listen to this episode and then go out there and Rock YOUR Restaurant!
