I spent over forty years in the food service industry, there are behind the scenes problems that need to be talked about and brought out into the open. I am using this podcast to not only expose hidden truths in the industry but be a voice of reason and hopefully find answers for the issues facing restaurant operators as well as patrons of the food service industry. I have been on all sides of the industry, grower, restaurant owner, designer, broker, trainer, written training programs for front of house as well as back of house.

    WHAT DOES IT COST TO SERVE MEDIOCRITY

    I have heard operators say, no one ever complains about our food. Unfortunately, these days people will usually say, "it was fine" To me that is the worst thing someone can say.

    DOES YOUR RESTAURANT HAVE AN IDENTITY CRISIS?

    In the world of food service, sometimes we get wrapped up in the day to day operations and lose site of some important things, like, who we want to be. This is perfectly normal, but it can also be a perfect storm to unravel what we started out to create in the first place. In this episode we uncover some pitfalls, I am not saying don't serve cheese sticks or cheesecake, I am saying do not let them be your identity. Have some strong performers on your menu that showcase who you really are and what specialties you have mastered. The biggest pitfall in brand identity is allowing your distributor to have a bigger identity in your restaurant than you do. Local Eats are the Best Eats!
