Welcome to the Brand to Table Podcast, the show where restaurant owners and hospitality leaders learn how to stop guessing and start growing real revenue through proven branding and marketing strategies.

In this tactical solo episode, Henry Kaminski Jr. tackles the "Helicopter Owner" trap: the reality that for most restaurants, marketing grinds to a halt the moment the owner steps away.

• The "Helicopter" Trap: Why marketing that relies on owner approval for every decision creates a bottleneck that kills revenue growth.
• Effort vs. Effectiveness: Why working harder and hovering over your team actually slows down execution and misses critical opportunities.
• The Mindset Shift: Treating marketing like a standard operating procedure (SOP) just like opening the kitchen or counting the drawer.

Marketing fails without the owner because most restaurants lack a decision-making framework. When there are no clear Brand Guidelines or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for marketing, the staff is afraid to make mistakes, so they wait for approval. This bottleneck means that when the owner is busy or on vacation, execution stops.
