Hey, Independent Restaurant Owners!

This is Donald Burns, The Restaurant Coach®️, and it’s time for your DAILY WAKE THE F*CK UP!

Some of you need a serious reality check.

Why the hell are you letting these negative, energy-sucking vampires stay in your restaurant?

You know exactly who I’m talking about – those toxic team members who drag everyone down, turning your place into a black hole of misery.

So why are they still on your payroll?

Listen, I get it.

You’ve got a big heart.

You want to see the good in people.

But let’s get one thing straight – your restaurant isn’t a charity, and you’re not here to save people who don’t want to save themselves.

Every minute you keep these people around, you’re letting them chip away at everything you’ve busted your ass to build.

If you keep this up, you’re not leading – you’re babysitting.

These people aren’t just bad for business; they’re a cancer in your culture.

I’ve been there.

I had this bartender early in my career who could turn a five-star guest experience into a two-star disaster.

I kept him around because I was too damn scared to deal with the headache of firing him.

But when he no-showed during a huge event, I finally woke the f*ck up and fired him.

And you know what?

My restaurant – and my sanity – was better for it.

But here’s the kicker – I didn’t have a coach back then.

I made every mistake in the book, and it cost me time, money, and more sleepless nights than I care to remember.

If I’d had someone to guide me, I could’ve avoided so much pain.

That’s why I’m here now – to make sure you don’t go through the same sh*t I did.

Stop tolerating mediocrity.

You’re letting these toxic assholes run your restaurant into the ground.

Have the tough conversations.

Give them the chance to step the fck up or get the fck out.

And if they don’t rise to the occasion, show them the door.

Keeping them around isn’t helping anyone – not your team, not your guests, and sure as hell not you.

You know this already, but you’ve been too scared to act.

That fear is making you weak.

It’s time to take action.

Because if you don’t, you’re going to drive your restaurant straight into a brick wall.

Head over to TheRestaurantCoach.com right now and book a complimentary 1:1 strategy session with me.

We’re just going to have a conversation about where you and your restaurant are right now and where you want to be in 90 days.

Just a conversation.

Let me show you how to get out of the valley of mediocrity and start climbing to success.

You didn’t build your restaurant to have it taken down by people who don’t give a f*ck.

Your restaurant deserves better.

YOU deserve better.

Stop hiding, stop avoiding, and start leading.

Do it now.

Your restaurant – and your sanity – will thank you.

And maybe, just maybe, you’ll finally get rid of that bad energy and find someone who actually gives a sh*t.
