When the Restaurant Struggle Is Too Big ...

David Scott Peters
About this episode

I recently had a coaching call with a restaurant owner whose business was struggling. He and his wife needed an outside perspective, and they turned to me to help them review their options. The call we had highlights the transformative power of resilience, strategic planning and the courage to embrace change. In this episode of my restaurant podcast, The Restaurant Prosperity Formula, learn more about what exactly was challenging their establishment, the discoveries we made and the next steps I recommended they take. The situation the restaurant owners are in isn’t uncommon but the resources they tapped are what make this situation stand apart. I’m confident they got the best counsel and insight from me and their fellow members, and I hope listeners can benefit as well.
