In this promotional YouTube monologue, Donald Burns outlines Day 3 of the three‑day Restaurant Success Summit (Oct 19‑21, Scottsdale, AZ, 9 am‑5 pm). The day is dedicated to a hands‑on process: participants will run a diagnostic to identify where their restaurant is “leaking,” eliminate bottlenecks, and create a 90‑day profit‑power plan on site. Burns highlights two additional presenters—Bo Bryant, who will teach a food‑cost metric that truly moves the needle, and Doreen Gorman, who will show how to build a sellable restaurant for owners who may want an exit. The summit is limited to 50 seats; attendees also receive an advanced copy of Burns’s new book, What the Fork, and have direct access to Burns for Q&A throughout the event. Burns urges viewers to act now, emphasizing that the room closes once seats are filled and positioning the summit as the only restaurant event that turns theory into immediate action.
