Simply put... the only thing that matters in your business is PROFIT. Everything else is in service of that. I mean it. To be a bit callous: you serve great food, yes to bring people joy, but also to get them to rave about the meal to friends and family. You provide great service, yes to take care of people, but also to drive sales and make people want to return time and again. More covers = more revenue = more profit. 
And profit is the key to everything. 
Once you understand how to generate consistent, reliable profit everything else changes in your business. 
So if you're generating revenue but struggling with profitability, this episode is for you!

If we believe that our people are our greatest asset, then it stands to reason that we would want to invest in those assets. And yet, the way we train our employees is often lacking. Hard stop. 
I've worked with hundreds of restaurants over the course of my career and most of them have substandard training practices. 
And I understand why that is. I understand it takes time and money, both of which are often in short supply. And yet I believe there is a failsafe way to train our people to get the most out of them. Not just for our benefit, but for theirs as well. On today's episode I'm explaining a system for three levels of training. 
Follow the blueprint and you will have created a first class staff.
