She Opened a Restaurant 9 Days Before COVID – Here’s How She Survived
"Plan, pivot, and persevere." That’s the mindset Ann Ulrich and her husband, Chef Robert, have embraced as restaurant owners for over 15 years. From launching Mendoberri Café and Wine Bar in Mendota Heights to now running FoodSmith Bistro Pub in West St. Paul, MN, Ann shares the highs, the lows, and the lessons learned along the way.
In this episode, Jeremy Ames, CEO of Guidant Financial, sits down with Ann to discuss what it takes to build and sustain a restaurant business, why they made the leap to owning their own building, and how they navigated the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, as they consider their next chapter, Ann reflects on the realities of the restaurant industry, the importance of contingency planning, and what’s next for her and Robert.
