#111: What Happens When Two Microsoft Retirees Buy a Restaurant
November 13, 2024 by David Scott Peters
My guests this week on The Restaurant Prosperity Formula podcast are two restaurant owners who've turned their business around and found their definition of success. Angie and Doug Brown, owners of The Cove Restaurant and Peninsula Golf Course in Long Beach, Washington, came from Big Tech careers. Let me just say that these two entrepreneurs really kicked butt when it came to systems but more importantly, they learned how to communicate with their team so they could take ownership of everything that needs to be done in the restaurant. Angie, Doug and I do our best to show every restaurant owner looking for change and freedom what the journey can look.
Whether you're a seasoned restaurant owner or just starting out, this episode offers a playbook for building a resilient and people-centered business.
