Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast. It is the cure for the common restaurant. I’m Donald Burns, The Restaurant Coach®, author of the Your Restaurant Sucks trilogy and Ingredients:Creating TOTAL Restaurant Success in 90-Days, creator of the TRC Method, and founder of TRC Nation.

In this high-impact episode, I sit down with Bo Bryant—known across the industry as The Restaurant Giant. Together, we unpack the undeniable truth: your restaurant’s profits are a direct reflection of your leadership. Period.

Bo and I dive deep into the real reasons restaurant owners get stuck in survival mode, why systems won’t save you if your leadership sucks, and how to lead with clarity, conviction, and culture. We talk about the difference between managing chaos and leading transformation. If your team isn’t thriving, if your margins are bleeding, if you feel like you’re doing everything right but still losing—this episode is your wake-up call.

Because leadership isn’t a soft skill.
It’s a bottom-line skill.

Tune in and discover why sharpening your leadership is the fastest way to boost profitability, build a culture of excellence, and finally take back control of your restaurant—and your life.
