In this episode of The Restaurant Coach® Podcast, I sit down with Matt & Stephanie Dunken, the powerhouse duo behind Slam Dunk Pizza. Their story is one every independent restaurant owner needs to hear.

When they started working with the TRC Method, they were drowning with a prime cost of 94%.

Profit was non-existent, stress was constant, and vacations were nothing more than wishful thinking. Fast forward to today, and they’ve slashed their prime cost down to 53%—a complete game changer for their business.

Even better, they’ve gone from seven years without a single vacation to enjoying 4–5 vacations every year.

This episode is proof that you don’t need to be stuck in the grind forever.

With the right frameworks, discipline, and focus, you can take control of your numbers, reclaim your freedom, and finally build the restaurant and life you deserve.
