Restaurant Growth Accelerator: More Profit, More Locations, And More Time With Your Family
The Hardest Lessons From 20 Years of Owning Restaurants Part 3
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is the third and final part of my journey as a multi-unit restaurant owner. I share the real cost of growing a restaurant business too fast.
I lost the lease on my first shop after ten years of hard work (my landlord gave my space to the neighbor next door). Then I opened a fifth location at the worst possible time and my sales were almost non-existent.
I was overwhelmed with loan payments, I lost a key manager, and I worked 100-hour weeks (again).
THANKFULLY I fixed everything…
And in this episode, I’m sharing how - so you can learn how to scale a restaurant the right way.
Tune in to discover:
✅Why opening more restaurant locations doesn’t automatically create more profit
✅How poor lease planning can cost restaurant owners years of work and tens of thousands of dollars
✅Why multi-unit restaurant ownership requires a completely different skill set
✅How I realized I’d scaled beyond my systems, team, and leadership capacity
✅The overlooked skills that are 100% foundational to a restaurant's success
✅The dangers of debt, short loan terms, and opening before your business is ready
✅How COVID tested restaurant systems, leadership, delivery, marketing, and cash flow
✅The BIG alternative to cost-cutting restaurant owners should be focusing on instead
