I thought this was a great presentation!
Speaking from my own experience, restaurateurs have a passion for food and service. This program is a great example of all the structure that needs to be put in place for a food business. If you can get in with this type of knowledge when you start your business, it’s going to save you so many headaches as you continue to grow.
Everything you explained during this session took us years to perfect. It was very insightful and very educational for our clients who are in this initial concept phase of their business.
I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and resources.
