In this insightful episode of the Restaurant Success Podcast, restaurant consultant Matthew Mabel explores the critical importance of follow-through in restaurant management and entrepreneurship. Drawing from his extensive consulting experience with multi-unit independent restaurants, Matthew examines why many restaurant operators struggle to complete important initiatives and how this affects profitability. Through three recent case studies, he demonstrates how proper implementation of strategic plans directly impacts guest count, year-over-year sales, and bottom-line profits. Restaurant owners will discover practical strategies to overcome fear and distraction—the common enemies of necessary change—and learn how to identify and nurture team members who excel at implementation to drive meaningful business transformation.
