#49 - INTERVIEW: Bob and Kate Carpenter, Sunny Side Kitchen

On this week's episode I had the pleasure of chatting with two Restaurant Stragey listeners, Bob and Kate Carpenter, who run a charming little cafe in Escondido, CA called Sunny Side Kitchen. The restuaurant is listed on Yelp's Top 100 in the United States (yes, the entire country) and is gearing up for their 5th Anniversary Celebration. 

All of this from a couple of people who, until they opened Sunny Side, had no experience in hospitality. As it turns out though, they've discovered the secret to their success and are sharing it on this week's episode.

Topics covered: 

  • How a lifetime in journalism helped prepare them for restaurant life
  • Their strategy for handling Yelp reviews
  • The best way for keeping a low overhead
  • How the lessons from Restaurant Strategy helped solidify their plans for future growth
  • How a trip to London inspired them to make changes at Sunny Side
  • Advice for people looking to open their first restaurant
  • Important Links:

    • Sunny Side Kitchen Website
    • Sunny Side Kitchen on Yelp
    • Facebook Page
    • Instagram Feed
    • Finally, a reminder that I'm launching two online workshops this summer. Regularly priced at $197, I'm offering spots at 50% OFF until the end of March. Plus... PLUS... the first 25 people who reserve a spot will get a FREE Restaurant Strategy Tote Bag. (We've got just a few left.)
