#115 Andrew Roy: Guest on Restaurant Rockstars
from Serves You Right · host Andrew Roy
Restaurant labor costs, prime cost control, staff accountability, guest recovery, and menu pricing all break in the same place: no one wrote the standard down, so no one can be held to it. If your turnover feels random, your margins feel thinner every period, and your negative reviews sit unanswered, the problem is not the market. It is that your expectations, your discipline track, your pre shift, and your recovery protocol live in your head instead of on paper. Expect to learn:The two hour onboarding conversation that decides whether a new hire finishes training, and the twelve to fifteen non negotiables I cover every timeWhy cutting an hour of service made money, and the one number that told me it was safe to do itThe exact reason I refuse to let staff handle guest complaints, and what I hear underneath almost every angry tableAnd so much moreService starts now.Follow the show: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTubeI talk to people in and around the service industry space. I'm looking to hear from the people I wish I could have talked to when I was coming up in bars. Said another way: I am trying to make sense of this wild, beautiful mess that can be a life working in bars, and help others that are feeling similarly confused and/or lost.
