What we're talking about?
A dress code!? Not at this steakhouse. The new generaation cares far more about being comfortable than dressing to the nines.

Paying attention to detail about a belief system we care about. It says a lot about an owner that genuinely cares.

Leaving guests satisfied even when they didn't have a great experience.

SBA Loans and interest rates, applying for credit on your businesses EIN.

Vinyl Records and how many times you can play one before it breaks.

This episode features Baked After Midnight's Gianna Khader (https://www.bakedaftermidnight.com), a cookie company that uses high end ingredients and is gaining ground in bars & restaurants. Gianna literally quit her job to pursue making cookies. She was always baking, literally for years - but doing it after midnight was therapeutic as no one is often around late night to bother. We discuss things like costs, motivation to have the business, how we gauge success in expos or trade events as well as using a third party delivery app to potentially help create a sales lift for the business.📷: Filmed, Recorded, & Edited by: Pour Shots, Justin Benfaida📍: Baked After Midnight, Gianna KhaderFind us on Youtube as well for all the shorts and bonus content!

This episode features Rust & Gold (https://www.therustandgold.com/), a Huntington Long Island bar and restaurant that allows families to gather and fun to happen late night.
Frank came from beginnings in the music industry, but decided that the A plan wasn't going to be the one he retired on. Along with a few friends Rust & Gold opened 7 years ago. The pandemic also wound up accelerating growth with the concepts of The Rolling Gold (tap & catering truck - a '63 Chevy!) and 1653 pizza.

October 16, 2024 Shift Beers - Owner's Hate Uber Eats
We get to the bottom of Justin's hatred for Uber Eats and why it's still a necessary evil in the restaurant space. They have near zero risk - and the restaurant always deals with the blame. Florida has also taken on more hurricanes than it prefers.

October 07, 2024 Augustine's Mark Taxiera - Fresh Ingredients & Partners who are Partners
It wasn't always that Mark Taxiera was focused on opening a space outside of the city. As a guy who grew up in Ossining (a town north of New York City along the Hudson River) Mark had sights on working in the big city. After doing notable stints at Beppe & The Russian Tea Room, his wife Brianne and him decided to open up a beautiful Italian space in another outside of New York City town, Mamaroneck.

Brianne understands the front of house as she spent time at BLT Steak, Eatily, and Loring Place. She's also responsible for a killer Amari collection in the front of the bar.
