1 in 4 restaurants ran at a loss last year.
And if you’re honest?
You’ve probably felt just one bad month away from being part of that stat.
I’ve recorded a few episodes for this podcast now and after speaking with some of the best restaurant owners in Australia … nearly every single one of them has been through the same stuff that you’re facing right now.
Whether it's finding staff, 80 hour weeks, rising supplier costs, struggling to balance family, no money left to pay yourself, fires, floods … you name it - the guests I’ve spoken to have seen it all.
Some of them are now industry leaders and experts, with successful restaurants, franchises, turning over millions in revenue, and even stocking their products in supermarkets
This podcast is about what really made the difference.
The stuff no one talks about.
The mindset shifts, the messy moments, and the moves that actually worked.
So if you’re:
Sick of grinding with nothing to show for it
Ready to finally pay yourself properly
Wanting a business that runs without you there 24/7
Then this is for you.
Every week, we’ll break down how to make restaurants profitable again
Not just with theory, but real strategies that are working right now.
