In this session, Jaime Oikle of RunningRestaurants.com is joined by Roger Beaudoin of RestaurantRockstars.com - the duo deliver a content-packed session that every operator can walk away from with a notepad full of actionable ideas for their restaurant.
As the New Year approaches, it's time to work "ON"” your business to make 2023 your most successful.
If you start today and take small steps each week, you can make your business more efficient, more satisfying for your team and more profitable. Working “ON” your business now is not just about the days and weeks ahead, it's really an "Exit Strategy" for the future. With new systems, a "dream team" staff and a dialed operation, you may choose to sell your restaurant, open other locations, start another business or spend more time with family and friends. All this is possible when your house is in order.
