What if it doesn't get better??
I am an eternal optimist in my opinion, but... The restaurant industry has been decimated, and so far at least in the U.S, the numbers aren't going in the right direction. We have been numb to the number of closings, slowdows, layoffs etc due to this pandemic. There is no question that this situation will impact our industry for quite some time.  Lost sales, profits and key employees will continue their impact into the future. I spoke on this in early March that as we started shutting down, it was a GREAT time to educate yourself on something new.  Even for fun or for business, it's pretty rare especially for us in the industry to have such an amount of time off. Listen in, pretty short and raw, but perhaps it may inspire you to take action now, to expand what might be your new reality as we move ahead. Be well, be safe...talk soon.

Be kind to yourself…
With all this going on, we need to take a moment to pause and breathe. Take a minute to assess what’s important in life, and spend some time with yourself doing some non-restaurant things. We get into that on this episode, let’s give it a good listen! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cheftony/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cheftony/support

Throwback Episode: Alex Robertson with GiftRocker.com
While we recorded this in 2015, there are MANY actionable nuggets of info regarding payments in your restaurant, gift card sales and more. Especially in this time of Corona-19, we are doing more and more in the digital space with placing online orders, contactless payments and more. As I have continued to preach, we MUST PIVOT our business during this time, and maybe straight CHANGE our model. We talk on Apple Pay, Compliance, online auctions, give aways and more... We'd LOVE to hear about anything you learned here, please post up on our FaceBook Page! We hope you and yours are staying safe during this especially challenging time, stay tough and moving forward!
