In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Brad Wise, chef and owner of Trust Restaurant Group. Brad’s San Diego-based group has five concepts in its portfolio — including the multiunit steakhouse brand Rare Society and counter service butcher shop The Wise Ox — and much of its success can be attributed to Brad’s investments in his people and getting the most out of his team. Brad joined the podcast to talk about the culture of yes that he’s developing throughout Trust Restaurant Group and the efficiencies he’s creating in his systems and menu. 

 

In this conversation, you’ll find out why:

• Your people want to be heard — listen to them
• By creating a culture of “yes,” you can simultaneously innovate and develop your people
• You can create a great experience for your guests, whether they’re engaging with you for 2 minutes or 2 hours
• Take advantage of the changing dynamics of restaurants
• By getting creative with your R&D, you can cut back on waste and be much more efficient
