Really interesting story that my owner chef friend told me.
He was talking to his friend who owned a 30 milion dollar corporation.
"I think a lot of what we do is very similar. You go to work, manage people and make sure the projects are getting done."
The chef said, "Well, do you have to worry about people stealing from you? Or not showing up because they got too high the night before?" The corporate guy then said, "I guess what we do is pretty different."
Not everybody in the restaurant industry is like that. But it is pretty clear that this industry does have higher percentage of people with less education, addiction problem with alcohol to hard drugs, and most of all, no plans for life.
We would like to change that. When we do have more than one location, we want our company to be somewhere people are proud to work and the job can provide enough for those that work for us.
Just a thought.
