Why Restaurant Owners Must Embrace Chang...

David Scott Peters
About this episode

Four years after the pandemic, I’m working with restaurant owners who are still suffering whiplash and struggling to find a path forward for their restaurants. I don’t have to tell you, but it was an intense time. Restaurant owners went from a complete shutdown of their restaurants and sending employees to the unemployment office to the frantic offer of money from the government and the incentives offered to employees to work through the unknown challenges. These days restaurant owners are working through the long-term consequences of taking that money and how to run their restaurants in this new landscape. The bottom line is things changed after pandemic. Costs are up, staff have different expectations and restaurant owners don’t want to be prisoners to their restaurants. In this episode of my restaurant podcast, The Restaurant Prosperity Formula, I am talking about how it's time for every restaurant owner to embark on change or possibly get swallowed up by the shifting sands of industry change and financial stresses you’re facing as a restaurant operator today.
