Is Your Restaurant Manager Destroying Your Business? Get The Manager Hiring Toolkit Here→ https://hs.ownershifttraining.com/managerhiringtoolkit

Think hiring a restaurant manager will free up your time and boost profits? 

Think again.

Many restaurant owners watch sales tank, staff turnover explode, and food costs spiral out of control - often within months - because they made one fatal management mistake.

In this episode of Restaurant Growth Accelerator, I share my personal story of opening a second location, hiring a manager, and watching my once-successful business collapse.

You’ll hear exactly how promoting the wrong person - without proper restaurant management training - led to burnout, lost staff, and more.

Tune in to discover:

✅The critical difference between worker skills vs. management skills most owners overlook

✅Why promoting your best worker can create your worst manager

✅How to hire restaurant managers who WILL do the job (not just those who CAN do it)

✅A proven 6 to 8-month restaurant manager training program that builds real leadership skills

✅The anonymous employee survey system that reveals hidden management problems before they explode

You’ll learn how to set management expectations, run performance evaluations, and build a restaurant management system that works in any multi-location or independent restaurant.

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
