We all know that being a restaurateur can be greatly fulfilling, but also incredibly challenging.

During these times, running restaurants can certainly take their toll, but after 40 years, this passionate restaurateur keeps forging ahead working three meals a day!

In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, I’m speaking with restaurateur Mani Bhushan of Taco Ocho in Dallas. At 70+ he is still running circles around the competition!

After building a long successful career with a famous national chain, much later in life, he decided to open his own restaurant and then grow it to four locations.

Interestingly, Mani’s of Indian descent but his restaurants are Mexican concepts. Why? You’ll have to tune it to find out.

Listen as Mani tells us:

- The importance of treating every guest like an old friend

- Why refusing to compromise on quality and authenticity matters.

- Inspiration and key start-up lessons he learned.

- What keeps his customers coming back for more?

- How to continue offering value for money during inflationary times

- The magic formula and secret to restaurant success

- Unique catering ideas

And of course, this veteran restaurateur also shares his best advice to others wanting to start a restaurant!
