#121: How to Stop Your Restaurant Managers from Bringing You Small Problems

One of the most common (and frustrating) issues restaurant owners face is managers who bring you every little problem instead of solving things themselves.

If you feel like you can’t get anything done without being interrupted, I have some solutions for you.

In this episode of The Restaurant Prosperity Formula podcast, I tackle exactly why it happens and, more importantly, how to stop it. You’ll learn how to retrain your managers to think like owners, make decisions with confidence, and stop relying on you for answers—freeing up your time and restoring your sanity. Don’t answer your managers' questions.

That’s right. Make them think, evaluate their options, and own their decisions. Trust me—if you stick with it, you’ll see a real shift in your team, your time, and your sanity.
