Whether you have a single restaurant or multiple restaurant concepts in the great cities around the world, we all share a vision and a passion for hospitality. Pleasing guests and running a great business are of course the driving forces behind everything we do each and every day. In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, I’m speaking with John Meadow, Founder and President of LDV Hospitality who is truly building a global restaurant empire one concept at a time. Listen as John tells us: 👉 The challenges of starting his first restaurant and then growing a restaurant empire of multiple concepts in many cities 👉 Experiments, fails, big victories and key-learnings 👉 A typical day leading his company forward 👉 Leadership style vs. management 👉 Necessary systems, technology, and financial controls 👉 The labor crisis, training philosophies and building team loyalty 👉 How to maintain overall consistency across many restaurants And much more….
