FULL COMP: The Voice of the Restaurant Industry Revolution

Office Hours: Marketing campaigns that are guaranteed to work


Listen Later

I’m Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I’ve spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of internal reflection in the hospitality industry. I believe restaurant owners should build their businesses around their own desires and experiences, instead of constantly trying to guess what customers want. I share some actionable strategies for creating authentic marketing campaigns that truly resonate—by marketing like a fan and designing offers that we, as owners, would genuinely be excited about. For me, alignment and truth in marketing are key to deeper customer engagement and long-term profitability.

Takeaways:

  • Most restaurant owners think they need more guests.
  • Profit isn't random, it's engineered.
  • Stop guessing what guests want and start solving your own problems.
  • You are your target customer.
  • Design your next event or menu through your own desires.
  • The most profitable thing you can do is build for you.
  • Marketing like a fan creates genuine engagement.
  • Audit your last three campaigns honestly.
  • The right people show up when you build from truth.
  • Create offers that you would buy.
