What does it really take to lead restaurants into the future

Some great comments are shared at the People Report Summer Camp Conference.  I caught a few people on cam to talk about leading the restaurant business out of the old and into the new.  It's time we take inventory on how we really do business and ask the hard questions.  What can we do to change the consumers point of view and our own teams point of view.

We have a great opportunity as we forge into a new era in the restaurant business but it will take some guts, some risks and some luck.  You know the stuff your built your business with in the first place . .  Remember?

These interviews are a great reminder of the energy and passion of the Summer Camp attendees about taking their workplaces to the next level.. They are not afraid to ask questions, ask for help, learn new things, share best practices, or perhaps most striking - support one another. Amanda makes a terrific point - and I completely agree - these job seekers are going to have very long memories - and how they are treated will impact their attitudes and decisions in the future about where they work - and where they spend their money.
