About this episode

Have you ever walked into your restaurant and spotted 10 things wrong before you even had your coat off? In episode 155 of “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula” podcast, I dig into a mistake I see independent restaurant owners make over and over: trying to fix the entire restaurant at once instead of installing one restaurant standard at a time. I walk through why announcing a system isn't the same as installing it, the seven things a standard needs before it actually sticks, how to choose the right first standard to tackle, why the first missed standard is the most important one you'll ever coach and how tolerating weak restaurant systems quietly costs you your best employees. If you've ever felt like you're the only one holding your restaurant together, this episode explains why and what to do instead.
