How Restaurant Owner Used Coaching to Sa...

David Scott Peters
About this episode

In this episode of “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula” podcast, Vicki Moore, owner of a sports bar and grill in Illinois, joins me to share her journey from bartender to restaurant owner. After purchasing the struggling bar eight years ago, she transformed it by revamping the menu, improving quality, and creating an inviting atmosphere, growing annual sales from $275,000 to $1.2 million. Despite her success, Moore faced intense challenges, including overwork, stress and health issues, as she initially tried to do everything herself. She shares how being part of my coaching program taught her how to delegate, implement systems and empower her team, which allowed her to achieve both financial and personal freedom. This inspiring episode highlights the importance of leadership, systems and accountability in building a successful restaurant business.
