Restaurant Training, The Economy and Restaurant Marketing

If you're new here, you may want to Join Restaurant Revolution for Free. When you do, I'm going to send you a couple reports and other goodies. Thanks for visiting!

In May 2008, Restaurant Revolution began producing and participating in a variety of restaurant industry-specific discussions.

These have been recorded. Videos, handouts and pamphlets on each topic are being created for your benefit. Please check back often, or Join Restaurant Revolution to be notified when these materials are available.

The first in this series is an interview by Judy Asman of John Alexander from CHART. John shares why restaurant employee training and manager training is of utmost important during a tough economy. He also provides step-by-step information that you can immediately apply.

I strongly encourage you to watch each video. They add up to around 22 minutes of advice.

HelpMyBusiness.com - Maverick Marketing Video

Andrew Lock introduced HelpMyBusiness.com today with his first “Maverick Marketing” episode. He offers sound, actionable, wide-scale marketing advice.

For this particular episode, part three was the most impactful for me. Pay special attention to how Andrew addresses the marketing Disney uses for their ticket prices: largest prices at the top, with the greatest value (and most expensive) circled in red. From there, the prices get less expensive… and the least expensive ($60+) feels like a bargain after starting out with their suggested package.

While “Help My Business Sucks” only boasts one episode as of today, Andrew has assured me the pipeline is full. Be sure to check back for updates to this well-produced show.
