Short conversational transcript (YouTube) of Donald Burns interviewing a small-business owner about team size and rapid growth. Speakers discuss having over 30 people across two restaurant locations within five years and plans/ambition for further expansion. The tone is reflective and celebratory of growth from an empty floor to multiple locations.
How big's your team?
I have. I have over 30 people on my. Is.
Five years.
I mean, that's between. Oh, I know. That's between two stores. You know, graphic designer, social media manager, legal, cpa. Like, it's a lot of people on payroll. You know, I actually sometimes look at it. I'm like, wow, this is just freaking amazing that I did this, you know?
Yeah. Especially from where we came from, you know, sitting there on a, you know, an empty floor, no location. And then now, I mean, you got two locations, just opened a second location. Is there a third location in the works?
There's always something I'm working on.
I know you. I know you. You don't. You don't ever settle. You don't ever rest.
No. And, you know, I'm so honored to have create something that has such organic attention, like on social media, which catches the eyes of landlords and developers, and so you just never can say never, because you just don't know.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
