Restaurant Food Cost Solutions for Independent Restaurants

In this episode of The Restaurant Prosperity Formula podcast, host David Scott Peters talks to Emmy Barnick, restaurant owner of The Captain’s Cabin in South Dakota. David and Emmy talk through her restaurant’s financial journey starting in January 2020 when she was using her personal savings to make payroll through to the fall of 2020 when she had three days off and cash in the bank. Emmy, who didn’t have restaurant experience prior to buying her restaurant, talks about the steps she took to get her restaurant in line, the impact of COVID-19 on her restaurant, the systems she learned working David that helped her and her team take action, and the personal journey she went through in nine months. Listen to this podcast to hear an independent restaurant owner’s journey from chaos to stability and pick up some inspiration along the way.
