Peter Karapanagiotis aka The Y.B. makes his debut on Restaurant Punk, reflecting on the fact that Kara Restaurant Group has never hired formal managers. Looking ahead to the opening of a few new BYOBs in 2023, Peter asks Nikos and Liz to share their thoughts on managers in restaurants. 

• Are managers a good thing – a bad thing – a necessary evil? 
• What determines whether a restaurant needs a hierarchy or if the team can manage itself? 
• Are managers more effective if they are feared or respected? 
• Do you know the unwritten rules of the Yianni handbook?
• If you were to open a 100-seat restaurant tomorrow, would you hire a manager?
