In this episode of Restaurant Catering Smarts, Michael Attias welcomes Christin Marvin, founder and CEO of Solutions by Christin. With over 20 years in the hospitality trenches—from line cook to multi-unit operator—Christin now helps restaurant owners and leaders create sustainable success without burning out in the process.
They dive into what it really means to build resilient teams, retain top talent, and lead with clarity—even when the kitchen is on fire (literally or metaphorically). Christin opens up about her early days in a small Missouri town slinging tacos at her favorite Mexican restaurant, and how that journey led to her becoming a leadership coach and consultant to independent restaurants across the country.
You'll hear insights on:
-
What's driving burnout in restaurant leadership—and how to stop it.
-
The power of culture, communication, and clarity in growing your team.
-
How to turn overwhelm into opportunity with a fresh leadership mindset.
Whether you're managing one unit or many, this episode offers practical, heartfelt wisdom to help you lead better, live better, and build a restaurant business that doesn't run you into the ground.
