The Formula for Restaurant Success
The restaurant business is often labeled as one of the toughest industries to succeed in. Various failure rates perpetuate this notion. However, there are only two factors that contribute to this falsehood. Unfortunately, too many restaurant owners are simply doing the wrong things while neglecting to excel in the seemingly straightforward tasks. Achieving success in the restaurant industry hinges on understanding and implementing a proven formula. I call it the Formula for a Lifetime of Restaurant Success.
Those who grasp and adhere to this formula consistently achieve significantly better results.
The formula consists of five crucial foundational inputs. Mastering these inputs and understanding how to execute them effectively, will turn running your restaurant into a riding a bike "it is hard only until you know how, then it is easy". Over the next hour, my aim is to demonstrate that the restaurant business is not inherently difficult. Rather, success is attainable by consistently executing the fundamentals properly every single day.

Learning Objectives

Process
I employ a blend of humorous images, real-life anecdotes, and interactive engagement with attendees to deliver my presentations. Recognizing that adults learn differently and struggle to absorb information drinking from a fire hose, my objective is to guide them in the right direction and offer enough insight to encourage them to rethink their challenges. While we can't solve all their problems in a one-hour session, my aim is for them to depart with a sense of curiosity and openness to new solutions.
All guests attending our live session will be entertained and fully engaged, drawing from my extensive experience presenting to live audiences, running restaurants, and coaching clients worldwide. Additionally, attendees will each receive a complimentary copy of my book placed on their chair ahead of entering the room, instantly establishing authority and providing an opportunity for continued learning beyond the session.
