Imagine you are in a room – a very large room. In that room is every person you have ever met in your entire life… Wow!

Now that you are mentally in that room with all those people….

WHO WILL YOU SEEK OUT FIRST? WHO is the person you most want to see and to talk to?

Do you NEED to increase the sales in your restaurant IMMEDIATELY.

Are you getting less than GREAT results from your Social Media Campaign… That doesn’t really work…

Let me tell ya - You are NOT alone…

The TRUTH is – Facebook doesn’t drive sales… Instagram doesn’t drive sales. Social media doesn’t drive sales. Social Media is for Sharing Your Life… NOT Building a Thriving Business.

Today I am going to SHARE - My Formula for INCREASING SALES… In ANY Restaurant.

Today we are going to do something DIFFERENT…

I was recently on a Podcast called The 5th Wave With Jeffery Young. Jeffery is the founder of The Allegra Group - And the Editor in Chief of 5th Wave…

Jeffery currently lives in London and has his fingers in a LOT of really cool projects… Many of which revolve around the Global world of coffee and hospitality. Jeffery is a GREAT Interviewer and his sound engineer Chris Bristow… did a Brilliant Job capturing the essence to The Food Guru Message…

This is actually a TWO part Interview… Today I’m going to play PART ONE…Which focuses on the Eight Basic Fundamentals of building a better restaurant. I think you will really like this…

Do you ever feel like this..?

You work your ass off and finally take a few steps forward

And then… the next day you walk into the restaurant

And all your hard work is GONE!

You're three steps back – because someone quit or resigned or moved on... All your forward progress is wiped away… by the incoming tide – like sandcastles on the beach..?

I don’t know about you - but I feel like that. And NOT just SOME of the Time… I feel like this - MOST OF THE TIME…

I build a beautiful sand castle… And then here comes a wave and washes it away…

This is what we are going to discuss today.

Today we are going to discuss how to BUY a Restaurant. How to determine what a restaurant is worth in both the short and long term.

And in the process – you MIGHT see what your restaurant could be worth… Or maybe YOU can use this information to take a few steps to increase the value of your restaurant so that day... When you eventually decide to sell… You can make a LOT more money.

When I look at you I see THREE people.

I see… The person that you are right now… TODAY.

I See… The person that you will become if you stay on your current path…

AND – I see… The person you COULD BECOME if you have the guts to believe in your own personal GREATNESS…

If you continue on your current path where will you be in 5 years..?

How about 10 years..?

Is your current path going to put you where you really want to be or are you headed - the wrong way..?

Whether you know it or not… You have a management style.

Your management style was developed over the course of your lifetime.

Some management styles are better than others.

Some Work Wonders – and others repel people like the smell of a skunk on the side of the road.

Today we are going to delve into some of the foundational thoughts and beliefs

that have come together – to create your management style…

Be sure to hold tight - because today’s pep talk - is going to be a doozey!

Today we are going to discuss WHY it is easy to move the ball forward in your restaurant some days and impossible at other times.

Today I'm going to introduce you to the concept of Offense / Defense...

Everyone thinks their competition is the biggest obstacle they must overcome. Most people think finding the right customers and the right employees is the biggest obstacle they must overcome… This is NOT true.

The biggest obstacle you must overcome is Your Procrastination & Laziness. Your Bad Habits & Negative Mindset. The Biggest Obstacle that You Must Overcome... The Obstacle that is REALLY Holding you back is… YOURSELF…

That’s right I’m talking about… That person you see in your mirror every morning. I’m talking to YOU…
