I've spent my entire adult life -- 22 years -- working in hospitality. For the past 7 years I've been working primarily as a restaurant consultant and coach, and there are two common threads I see in the restaurants I consult with. The struggling restaurants all lack it, while the places that are killing it have these two things locked down? 

One on the operations side, and the other dealing with marketing...

What are they?

OPERATIONS: A path to profitability

MARKETING: A clear framework for marketing the restaurant

On today's episode we dig into all of that, and I give you simple, actionable ways to put this stuff into practive right away. Tune in!
