I am an eternal optimist in my opinion, but...
The restaurant industry has been decimated, and so far at least in the U.S, the numbers aren't going in the right direction.
We have been numb to the number of closings, slowdows, layoffs etc due to this pandemic.
There is no question that this situation will impact our industry for quite some time. Lost sales, profits and key employees will continue their impact into the future.
I spoke on this in early March that as we started shutting down, it was a GREAT time to educate yourself on something new. Even for fun or for business, it's pretty rare especially for us in the industry to have such an amount of time off.
Listen in, pretty short and raw, but perhaps it may inspire you to take action now, to expand what might be your new reality as we move ahead.
Be well, be safe...talk soon.

While we recorded this in 2015, there are MANY actionable nuggets of info regarding payments in your restaurant, gift card sales and more.
Especially in this time of Corona-19, we are doing more and more in the digital space with placing online orders, contactless payments and more.
As I have continued to preach, we MUST PIVOT our business during this time, and maybe straight CHANGE our model.
We talk on Apple Pay, Compliance, online auctions, give aways and more...
We'd LOVE to hear about anything you learned here, please post up on our FaceBook Page!
We hope you and yours are staying safe during this especially challenging time, stay tough and moving forward!

Many people dream of their own restaurant.
Also...many don't understand how hard it is to get funding for your own venture. Banks don't LOVE restaurant ventures for various reasons.
Most people know how hard they are to run, high failure rate, incredible competition, etc...
I wanted to share some history of getting our funding together for the beginning of Chef Tony's...which we opened as "Visions Restaurant"...and that will be another story to be told.
I hope you get some value here, thanks for listening, and share if you get inspired!

I'm recording these using a number of methods...would LOVE your feedback..
Does the background driving noise make you not want to listen? Is is any big deal? Should I "produce" a bit at home?
Just fyi, this episode was recorded driving home, but I WAS able to tweak a bit in GarageBand and cut out some background noise.
Would love to hear your feedback...thanks for listening!

Call it "woo woo" or not, I believe the energy around your business is SOOOO important.
How you handle yourself, talk with your staff, talk with your guests, even how you "talk" to your restaurant!
Hear a few examples of how we've gone above and beyond with our guests...sometimes just by chance!

Even in 2018, restaurant owners don't really "GET" social media.
If you're in the game, this might be a little "1.0" for you, but hopefully we start to get better conversations around how social media (and email marketing actually) can impact your business.

For restaurants like ours, reservations are expected... we have always taken them, and also of course take walk ins...
But lately since we're blessed with a lot of business, an issue has come up that we need to address.
Listen in and as always, we WELCOME your feedback!
Thanks all,
Chef Tony
