Description

What if I told you the most profitable full-service restaurant chain in America doesn’t sell steak, sushi, or seafood, but soup dumplings? 

This is the story of Din Tai Fung, the quiet empire that turned discipline, patience, and systematized hospitality into $27 million per location… nearly double what the next best chain makes.

In this video, I break down how a tiny oil shop in post-war Taipei transformed into a Michelin-starred global brand and the invisible leadership and training systems that make it all possible.

You’ll learn:
1️⃣ The key milestones that built Din Tai Fung piece by piece
2️⃣ The trial and error (and near failures) that shaped their playbook
3️⃣ The exact systems of hospitality that drive $27M per-unit sales

This isn’t just a story about dumplings. It’s a masterclass in culture, consistency, and leadership, the same systems you can copy to scale your restaurant without collapsing.

If you want to build a business that grows with discipline, not chaos, this video is for you.
