Food and Farm: Recent Episodes
jonathan boyd
Explore our farm to table world through a Homesteading Executive Chef and his family of eight in Mississippi. Lets discuss food, tips of the trade, and learning more about sustainable lifestyle. Lets eat! And Lets farm!
Post Covid restaurant business is very difficult for many operators. We are fighting rising food and labor costs, utilities, and rent and we are combatting that with more hands on work around the restaurant. We are washing dishes, cooking on the lines, running food, and then the night is finally over we are too exhausted to fulfill our duties as owners or management. We want to provide a blueprint for a 30 day focus on your establishment to increase your profitability so you can have the funds for more staff, renovations, or simply , more money for you as the owner to enjoy our business.
- Menu optimization: Analyze your menu to identify high-profit margin items and popular dishes. Streamline your menu by removing low-performing or low-margin items. Highlight and promote your most profitable dishes and consider introducing new items with higher margins. Additionally, regularly review ingredient costs and negotiate with suppliers to ensure you're getting the best prices.
2.Efficient inventory management: Implement an inventory control system to minimize waste, spoilage, and overstocking. Monitor ingredient usage, track inventory levels, and establish par levels to optimize your purchasing and reduce food costs. Consistently review your suppliers to ensure you're getting the best deals and consider purchasing in bulk when it makes financial sense.
3.Cost control and expense management: Scrutinize all expenses and identify areas where you can reduce costs without sacrificing quality. Look for opportunities to optimize labor costs, such as cross-training employees, scheduling efficiently, and monitoring staff productivity. Analyze utility bills and explore energy-saving initiatives to reduce overhead costs. Additionally, negotiate with vendors for better pricing on supplies and services.
4.Upselling and suggestive selling: Train your staff to effectively upsell and suggest additional items or higher-priced options to customers. Encourage them to highlight daily specials, recommend popular dishes, and suggest add-ons like appetizers, desserts, or beverages. Well-executed upselling techniques can increase the average check size and boost revenue.
5.Focus on customer satisfaction: Prioritize exceptional customer service to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. Provide training to your staff on proper etiquette, attentive service, and handling customer complaints. Happy customers are more likely to return and recommend your restaurant to others, contributing to long-term profitability.
6.Optimize table turnover: Efficiently manage table turnover to serve more customers and increase revenue. Train your staff to provide prompt service, streamline order-taking and delivery processes, and implement reservations or waitlist systems to minimize idle tables. As a chef I always go back to the kitchen. I call it the Heart of House. The kitchen is the pulse that runs through the restaurant's veins. I want my kitchen driving ticket times and speed of service. I want my servers to have push to work more efficiently knowing that their kitchen is going to pump out the food in 8-12 minutes max, minus a well done filet. Is your menu set up that way.
7.Business to Business should be a key element of your business. If you are interested in how to develop a Business to Business sales, I have a link below for our episode from a few days ago to help you along with your business 2 business development.
8.Monitor and analyze financial performance: Regularly track and analyze key financial metrics such as food and labor costs, gross profit margin, and sales trends. Utilize restaurant management software or POS systems to generate reports that provide insights into your business's financial health. This information will help you identify areas that require improvement and make data-driven decisions to increase profitability.
It is a tough world in restaurants. Together we break down what is happening in restaurants today that is affecting the success rates in restaurants today. Comment below what you think the greatest failure of restaurants are.
Already this year, tens of thousands of restaurants have closed in the United States. The NRA reports that, on average, about 60% of new restaurants close within the first year of operation. Additionally, within the first five years, the closure rate increases to around 80%. Why is this? and how can we not become a statistic?
What do you think is the #1 reason that restaurants close? Leave your answer in the comment section below!!!!
Hello, my name is Jonathan Boyd I am an Executive Chef turned Restaurant Consultant, and here at Kitchen Bootcamp we want you to succeed beyond your wildest imagination, and it is possible with a few skills and techniques. This is completely free content designed to help restaurants nationwide keep their doors oen and reach their dreams. To learn more please like and subscribe, it helps our reach to save restaurants nationwide who are struggling.
We want to help you grow your business, to at least begin that process we need to see where restaurants are failing. When we have these discussions this is not me, having an I am better than you, it is me helping you avoid the same fate my first restaurant did. So let's get started.
-
Lack of experience and expertise: Running a restaurant requires a combination of culinary skills, business acumen, and management expertise. Inexperienced or novice restaurant owners may struggle with understanding the complexities of the industry, including menu planning, inventory management, financial analysis, marketing, and customer service.
-
Insufficient capital and poor financial management: Starting and sustaining a restaurant requires significant capital. Insufficient funding or inadequate financial planning can lead to cash flow problems, an inability to cover expenses, and mounting debt. Poor financial management, such as inadequate cost control, high overhead costs, or improper pricing, can also contribute to financial instability.
-
Location challenges: Choosing the right location is crucial for a restaurant's success. Poor location selection, such as an area with low foot traffic, limited parking, or intense competition, can hinder customer acquisition and revenue generation. High rent or lease costs can also strain finances, especially if sales don't meet expectations.
-
Inconsistent quality and service: Providing consistent quality in both food and service is vital for success. Restaurants that fail to deliver on customer expectations regarding taste, presentation, and overall experience risk losing patrons and damaging their reputation.
-
Staffing issues: A restaurant's success heavily relies on a competent and motivated staff. High turnover rates, inadequate training, poor communication, or insufficient staffing levels can lead to inconsistent service, customer dissatisfaction, and operational inefficiencies.
It's important to note that the restaurant industry is inherently challenging, and success requires careful planning, a deep understanding of the market, a strong value proposition, and continuous efforts to meet customer expectations and industry trends.

Together we are going to crack the wonders of the magical pig. One of my favorite meats to eat, and one of the easiest meats to mess up. Together we are going to grow our piglets from scratch, all the way to butcher. Super excited about our opportunity to learn about the mysterious pig!
We finally had a litter of puppies. We are needing a new male after losing our Alpha Male last year, Chopstix, to Parvo. Not all dogs are created equal. What helped us chose our new puppy Big Tuna from our litter of puppies from Marla and Sushi?
Preserving food is a top opportunity for most homesteaders. It is something we could be doing both in the city or on a 100 acre homestead yet few people actually chose to preserve food. Why is this?
Maryeve, mama food farm live, is going to walk us through the absolute basics of preserving food and why this is something you should invest in this summer
Sorry for the very long delay in episodes. I have been making one of the biggest lifestyle changes of my life. I have left working in the restaurants as a full time executive chef. It has been a huge change and one that has taken time to make happen. Listen in as we discuss more
Sorry for the long delay in new episodes. We have been making major changes on the farm and in our personal lives. I am no longe working for a restaurant and have moved into a complete new job and loving. We are discussing that major change in our lives and the impact it has had so far.
This was recorded on our My Feel Good Podcast. Heather Saulsbury creates waxed vinyl products that will blow your mind. Our conversation is directly related to our topics here. Her business was started in the garage by her husband. Her husband began creating products and with help of a layoff she dove head first into created a business. These are ideas and business concepts that could take your small homestead business to the next level! Thank you Heather for hanging out with us!

Having a great discussion with our middle daughter Gracie Mae- owner of Mae's Mallows. She sells home made marshmallows and hot coacoa accessories like chocolate dipped wood spoons. She does a fantastic job and enjoy watching her flourish as a business owner. Super proud dad.
Please support our young entrepreneurs. Too often we criticize the younger generation for laziness or lack of effort. There are many like Gracie who work hard on the farm every day and enjoy being their own boss. When you are shopping at a farmers market and see a young person behind the stand, talk them up, encourage them, and financially support them. Over pay or tip, and encourage their hard work and ethic.
Thank you Gracie Mae for hanging out with your old man and being awesome!
Hey Squad!
I know I have been inactive on the podcast the last month. I have been battling some health issues stemming from a rough few weeks dealing with Covid-19. It was an extremely rough few weeks with lots of downs and eventually some ups. Thank you again for your support.

We get the pleasure of learning from the best, Minerva Creamery the oldest family owned creamery in the United States. Learn more with me about the creamery, it's origin's, the family dynamics, and whether a dairy creamery is a viable operation.
I was excited and geeky about this this conversation. As a chef, I had so any questions, and as a homesteader, I had a thousand more questions. I am thankful that Venae and Adam let my brain go from one end of the spectrum to the other as we explore more about Minerva Creamy and how they become so successful and the market streams they are using.
Thank you again to Adam and Venae, Please check out their website below to buy products. This is a company we should be supporting!!!! Please order some butter or other products for the upcoming holidays. I can't wait to get my smoked maple butter!

It is incredible important to get that vacation, even as a homesteader. Taking time to smell the breeze, maybe dip your feet in the saltwater, but it is incredibly difficult to step away and trust others with your homestead while you are away. We took our first time away, and we had some serious problem with a big man on our farm, Chopsticks. What can we do better next time to help the livestock guardian dogs feel more comfortable with helpers on the farm.
I know we have taken time away from the podcast. We have had some tragedy on the farm. I will admit, it had broken our spirit to talk about the homestead. Listen in as we talk about a major loss on the farm and how we could have prevented our tragedy.
Thank you to those who have been asking where we have been. It has taken some time to get over this loss, and I hope you can give us some grace as we move on. Thank you for the love. Follow us on Instagram at Food Farm Live, and see the fun!
Love our homestead and in loving our puppies. I got so excited I got wrapped up in a 20minute conversation just about our dogs! Dogs are man's best friend, and I have several around my farm. Each dog, (Sushi, Chopstix, Nori, and the little pups) all have their own personality and have their own challenges in training and tasks around the farm. We love our dogs and thankful to have them as coworkers around the homestead! Lets talk dogs!
I have been reading and consuming online materials about pastured pork. Joel Salatin's books and online materials have me inspired and looking at my homestead as to how I could achieve a high quality pastured pork product for our family and friends. Nothing tastes better than growing your food, including livestock from baby piglet, to full weight, and to the dinner table. It just tastes sweeter! We had a failed attempt at pork in our past, could this be the game changer?
For more on pastured pork, check out a few of these links:

Had the pleasure of reading Joel Salatin's Your Successful Farm Business : Production, Profit, Pleasure.It was a fantastic read and great depth of knowledge of successful business models but gives in depth expertise on farming (homesteading) and how you can achieve a successful farm or homestead operation. I give 6 things I learned from Joel Salatin's book and hope to apply to my homestead to make my hobby/survival farm prosper for years to come.
Wondering about the struggles of opening a pastured egg laying production in the great north. Lucie B. Amundsen gives a fun, comedic story of her family's life from the big city to opening a pastured poultry egg farm. Let's talk about it, and why I think you should buy it!
Joel Salatin's book called The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs lays the foundation for Christianity, or moral compass for those who do not believe, that it is our moral obligation to commit to sustainable farming. It is our duty to provide humane growing practices. Great book find on Audible.
Last week was a discussion on 5 ways we are currently making profit, this week discussing 5 ways we COULD be making better money for homestead.

Great discussion about making homestead cash on our homesteads. 2021 is a great year to grow your homestead to make you a little cash.
Tomorrow is our culling day for our first batch of Cornish Cross Chickens in 2021 on our new homestead in beautiful Jackson, MS. Let's discuss the set up and what we have done up to this point. We are going to talk about the run, feed, dietary concerns, and what we have done in the past that has had great success.
Link to chicken run we used this year from amazon. Had some strengths and had some weaknesses. We plan on doing a full review of the chicken run soon now that we have done a full turn with the meat chickens.

Doing a deep dive into our gardens as we research a key ingredient here in the Deep South.

There has been a lot of discussion about national politics and its affects on the local farms. I am a firm believer in being more involved on the local level to make changes better for your community. We are needing changes to many laws and city ordinances that restrict homesteaders. Being more involved in the process can help lead to a better understanding of the process.

Are you trying to expand the sales of your small farm to open up to restaurants. Take my warning and tips to selling to chefs. It is a busy market that requires a lot of preplanning on your part. Selling to restaurants is vastly different than selling on a produce stand at your local market. Restaurants can be, if you are operating your homestead as a business, a very profitable venture. Listen in as I give you a first hand guide on what I look for in people that provide local goods to the restaurants.

Congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris. Why I homestead in conjunction with politics, and what does my faith tell me about politics. Also we take time to pray for our new president.
I will leave the warning here. If you do not want to listen, it is ok, it is a bonus episode but it comes from the heart, and what I feel God has shown me this week as I prayed. I hope everyone of faith stops what they are doing and spends time praying for the outgoing President and spending some time praying for the President and VP elect. Politics aside, I don't want the captain to crash the boat we are all trying to survive on. Take your time, love your neighbor, pray for your neighbor.
This is the only podcast I really bring up my faith. I am hoping it will not turn away listeners, but I do find a calling to pray for our new leadership, my neighbors, and those who rely on America.
All love, and if this topic is not good for you there is a killer podcast episode premiered yesterday all about our farm and where we stand November 2020. Love all of my listeners, whether you are a democrat, republican, or independent. I love all of our international listeners who take the time to listen and pray for our countries leadership. Love you guys.
