    Defending restaurant margins, INSTANTLY + WITHOUT RAISING PRICES

    Defending restaurant margins, INSTANTLY + WITHOUT RAISING PRICES

    CEO Troy Hooper spoke at the California Restaurant Association Presidents Panel, a few months ago; and one of the hottest discussions was how to defend restaurant profitability:

    ✅ From constant attacks of rising costs and regulations; and
    ✅ Without customers' having to carry the load

    I clipped this one-minute, forty-five second answer.

    Please watch and repost, so that it helps as many of our peers as possible!

    The restaurant industry will be here, forever. What are other ways we operators can be here forever, too?

    My answer to "What moment led you to explore entrepreneurship?" (involves a scam)

    My answer to "What moment led you to explore entrepreneurship?" (involves a scam)

    When CEO of  @maidthis   @NeelBParekh  asked me me:

    "What moment led you to explore entrepreneurship?"

    This was my answer.

    For my fellow business owners, do you remember the spark that started it all, for you?

    Thanks for having me on, Neel!

    Andy Nguyen giggling when I said ____ and among my favorite business books of all time

    I was invited to speak on a panel with restaurant leaders I look up to, and I got to share one of my most transformative books ever read.

    I get a kick out of watching Andy giggle like a child at 1:02 when I said this word.

    Special thanks to Viet Nguyen, Ivy Ha, and the Kei Concepts Media Team. You guys run the most amazing events!
