This week we had the opportunity to sit down with one of the industries finest restaurant consultants. Chase LeBlanc, Leadagers.com, gave us about 30 minutes of his day to talk about restaurant leadership!
Our favorite quote:
Management is how well it runs when you are there. And Leadership is how well it runs when you are not.
We’ve enhanced our podcast with a screencast, so you can watch along as we go through the conversation. Thank you Chase!

As Jim Smoot, A New Restaurant Blog, so eloquently puts it in his article on management styles:
“Your management style can have a lot to do with your success in running a restaurant, or any other business. While people can debate all day long about which is the best management style to use in different situations, one thing people will agree on, if you get it right (or wrong) it can have a big affect on the success of your business.”
That said, I have a couple questions to ask you:
Most of our research suggests that independent restaurant operators take a Laissez Faire approach to operations, while corporate establishments are loaded with Micro-Managers that scour data to find new profit centers or reduce costs. Whether you are an independent or corporate restaurant operator, you should be micro-managing your operations. Why? Because it is profitable!
How do you make the jump from Laissez Faire to Micro-Manager? Easy, WhenToManage. Our restaurant management applications can instantly turn a Laissez Faire operation into a Micro-Managing machine by interpreting POS data…this 5-Point Plan provides some micro-management ideas that dovetail with our applications. If interested, give us a call to discuss (888) 316-8861 or email us at sales@whentomanage.com.

We like to call on all kinds of experts in the Restaurant and Retail world, but in this interview we call on a financial expert. Our very own, Walker Thompson, got to sit down with Brad Tafoya from Tafoya and Associates in Durango, CO to discuss taxes, SaaS investments and operations.
It was a short and sweet conversation, all “brass tax” as you would expect from a CPA.
