#68 : Guy Leggatt on the Hidden Drivers of Restaurant Profitability
Description
If your kitchen's running hot but your margins are cold, this one's for you.
Guy Leggatt didn't just work the line—he studied the system. From Vancouver fine dining to corporate ops and back again, Guy built a career turning chaos into clarity. Now, through his consultancy Line Check Strategy, he's helping independent restaurant operators build restaurants that actually run.
We get into the mindset shift that changes everything: why food cost and labor cost are symptoms—not root causes. We break down how productivity, routine, and menu engineering drive better numbers and better lives. And we go deep on what independent operators can borrow from corporate playbooks—without losing their soul.
This one's a field manual for any operator who wants to get out of the weeds and lead with intention.
