running a restaurant is a big deal! all those $ spent on equipment, you've got demanding customers, staff....too many restaurants close down having never reached their potential. too many restaurant owners work their way to an early grave, watching their dream consume every weekend, evening and holiday (not to mention the kid's ball game, your friends killer 40th party, weekend surfing trips with the boys. you know what i'm talking about!). but it doesn't have to be that way......
our podcasts will help you to:
1. make MORE MONEY from your business
learn from our mistakes! we too have spent too many years not earning enough! sure it's cool to 'work for yourself', but you have to make the money too! we have been self employed in food businesses for 14 years, and have run our current restaurant for 9, so we know alot about paying our dues. but we have carefully crafted our business into a healthy profitable enterprise. no gimmicky get-rich-quick scams here - just valuable tips from guys that have done it. oh, and it's not just our story, we talk to restaurant experts from around the globe too. there's no other source like this.
listen and start making more money today!
2. work LESS HOURS
our research shows that one of the the biggest complaints by restaurant owners is they work too many hours. yep, i've done it too. (it's not my photo on the page but it used to be. and no one likes a tired, and then cranky, chef!). and its kinda easy when you love what you do, but what if you could work less, and earn more? listen up..
we'll give you key management strategies that will reinvigorate your business, and you!
3. understand YOUR EQUIPMENT
check out these figures. my wife and i have spent hundreds of thousands of $$ on our restaurant equipment and fit out. on top of that repair tradesman rates are about $50 per hour (refrigeration, electricians, plumbers etc) to fix it. if you have invested a ton of cash like us, you've gotta know what to buy in the first place and then how to look after it. do you really want to pay these tradies good cash to tell you "if you'd only have cleaned the coil on your cool room motor you wouldn't need a new compressor"?
we'll be interviewing equipment experts and getting the low-down on which is the best gear to buy, and how to look after it.
4. keep your FOOD SAFE
every food business has the potential to make the news headlines - for all the wrong reasons. if you are employing chefs, and trusting them - WAKE UP! ive seen more scary and dangerous food handling from 'qualified' chefs than you'd imagine. we'll talk about some of these horror stories, and show how to do food the right way. make headlines because your business is a thriving, benchmark example of a restaurant who provides great food, not deadly food.
5. and lets bloody well HAVE MORE FUN, EH?
