Restaurant Owner Lessons Podcast:

This may just turn you on your ear to think through the social dynamics of those who Luis & Lucas refer to as "Table Leads"...

Dive into a deep discussion of the social dynamics changing the restaurant sales cycle and understand what YOU can do about it.

Sitting back and waiting to hear about modern technology & marketing may just put you behind the trend too far to catch up.

Let's get into the show, and make sure to check them out HERE.

Thanks for listening as always, and leave us your questions or comments as a voice mail, you'd make us extremely happy!

Hey everyone, 

Sorry for my brief absence, but running a restaurant got a little in the way, but excited to reconnect and announce a few interviews I have in the can.

Quick episode here on employees!  We love them and sometimes....

3...no 4 interviews on the way, one in the can, 3 more on the schedule.

Talk real soon!

Chef Tony Marciante

Yes, you sell cupcakes.

Yes you are the greatest Italian Chef ever?!?

Yes, people adore your gluten free, free range, crueltry free soda water, but...

YOU ARE A MEDIA COMPANY FIRST!!

(as I said, Gary Vaynerchuk taught me this the best, all credit to his idea).

We talk briefly about this concept for your restaurant business.

Sorry for the audio, you know I'm a fan of getting it out there first.

Thank you SO MUCH for listening and pushing us past 6,000 listens!  

We want to keep connecting and inspiring other restaurant owners across the globe..

See you on the pass.

Most entrepreneurs don't love accounting and taxes... let's just say they usually TOLERATE them...

BUT... we need it all done.

Some honest talk about this and more on this episode, would LOVE your comments!

Many people dream of their own restaurant.

Also...many don't understand how hard it is to get funding for your own venture.  Banks don't LOVE restaurant ventures for various reasons.

Most people know how hard they are to run, high failure rate, incredible competition, etc...

I wanted to share some history of getting our funding together for the beginning of Chef Tony's...which we opened as "Visions Restaurant"...and that will be another story to be told.

I hope you get some value here, thanks for listening, and share if you get inspired!

Great interview with Chandler where we talk Social Media, YouTube, advertising metrics and more.

For the 2019 restaurant owner, there are few things more important than storytelling and creating meaningful content around your brand.

Come along for the story here and listen to an expert operator whom along with his Mom & Dad have built a successful group of restaurants after starting with just a couple tables and a smoker by the side of the road!
