CAFÉ Talks Episode 83

Manage, Lead, Coach, Repeat – a tried and true process that sets the stage for success in any business. Managers and leaders, although not always the same person, are the facilitators of business success, but it is the followership team that provides the fuel for this to occur.

It is a leadership mindset designed to inspire, listen, mentor, and unify that must permeate a team if the end goals of an organization are to be met. The manager may keep the organization within the guardrails of performance, but it is the leader/follower relationship that provides a vision and the “why” for those who are part of the organization.

CAFÉ Talks Episode 82

It’s a brave new world where what was once comfortable is now unpredictable. So many of the models of prediction that we used in restaurants and in culinary education no longer work or work as well. The need for a great restaurant experience and the demand for qualified cooks and chefs has rarely been better, yet addressing needs, making decisions, and solving problems seems impossible at times.

Chefs need the right tools in a changing marketplace – tools designed to function well in a less predictable environment. Tools that can help a chef with concept development, menu design, recipe execution, purchasing, cost controls, marketing, and responding to guest needs. These tools may be different and will require that chefs are willing to change many of their routines, yet these tools will help to make a chef’s life and efficiency significantly better.
