#78: Why You're in the Hospitality Industry and Not the Food Industry

August 9, 2023 by David Scott Peters

I’m putting a flag in the ground: your restaurant is not a food business. It’s a hospitality business.

Your job is to create memories for your guests and keep them coming back time and time again. In this episode of my podcast, The Restaurant Prosperity Formula, I answer the question, “What is great hospitality?” and walk you through some of the ways other restaurants I’ve worked with have defined hospitality for their operations. If you're looking to build a restaurant where people come back again and again for all their favorite occasions – including just having a great meal – consider how you manage hospitality, from employee training to customer service.

If you're wondering if your restaurant is one focused around hospitality or food, listen to this episode to find out.

And no matter the answer, use the tools I teach as building blocks to set up a great experience in hospitality or to improve the one you offer.
