The 5-Day Grow Your Restaurant Challenge Starts Tomorrow

Hey, happy Saturday. Hey, Donald Burns here. Just so I jump on real quick and tell everyone who maybe you have or maybe you have not signed up yet. I wanted to make you aware of something going on that is pretty epic. And it starts all tomorrow. It's called the restaurant grow your restaurant challenge and it starts Sunday, which is tomorrow at 9am I want to share a little bit of the screen here with you, let you see what's going on. So the grow your restaurant challenge is something I put together and I have basically eight, well, seven other seven other badass speakers who have agreed to sign up for this and show and show off their expertise and some really unique niches. So it's gonna be again, five days, eight speakers, ten interactive live workshops over on Facebook. Here's the catch, there isn't one. It's all free. All you got to do is just go to the webpage, grow your restaurant challenge dot com, sign up and you will get a seat at the table and you can view one or all of them. We're going to be hitting some pretty heavy topics and if you want to see the agenda here, day one, we're going to talk about operations. I'm kicking it off with one of my favorite ones. I have a session that's called your hiring sucks. And it probably does, but we'll fix that. It's a great session. Anybody who's ever struggled with hiring not only attracting talent, but also how to interview better, how to retain better, how to lower their turnover, this is the workshop you want to head to. And then my 2pm session is probably is a variation of my most powerful workshop I've ever done. I've done this, I've done my neuro selling workshop over 300 times for restaurants. And this is a kind of a condensed version, but it's just as powerful. If you attend the ultimate sales restaurant sales formula at 2pm I'm going to give you my tools and tips and hacks on how to increase your sales that evening. You can actually take that stuff and apply it those very same days and you can actually get in and you can start, I mean start improving your sales that night. It's, it's that it's pretty, it's pretty easy. So don't miss it. And then day two, we're going to kick off in about marketing. I got Rev cio. He's an expert at taking third party delivery data and how to convert it into first party so it serves you better. And that's a great one too. Rev is awesome, great guy. He's been on my podcast before. Really, really, really knowledgeable about that space he's in. And then at 2pm Session on day two, which is Monday, Bruce Irving, he is the founder of Smart Pizza Marketing Podcast, the website. He is just, he's my go to guy for marketing and he's going to actually show you exactly how to build a local market on day two. It's going to be awesome. He's actually, I'm going to give you a little inside secret. He's going to share with you his content calendar, how he sets up his content calendars for all his clients. He's going to show you exactly how he does it so you can do it for yourself. If nothing else, tune in for that because it's worth the price, which is free, by the way. Okay then on day three, we're going to talk about menus. I got Doug Ratke from Canada. He's going to join us live on the Facebook group and he is going to be showing you how to build a better bar menu. And then the afternoon I'm going to give you my kind of my greatest Jedi menu mind tricks on how to build a menu design that makes more money. That's all on day three and then day four. Of course, everyone struggles with sales and profits so we're going to tackle sales and profits on day four, which is on Wednesday, September 23rd, 9am session. Matt Platt is, he's a genius at how to drive traffic into your restaurant, how to get butts in seats and actually his thing is how to put more butts in the seats fast. And Matt Plapp is going to do that as a morning session and then the afternoon session. My business partner in restaurant, KPI Mastery, Darren Mansari. He is the number one key performance indicator and efficiency consultant in the world. He is going to lay down how to control your numbers or they will control you. It is going to be a great, fun packed day also about how to drive sales, how to increase your profits. On day four, day five, we're going to wrap it up with growth. Of course it is called the grow your restaurant challenge. So I figured it was fitting that day five was about growth. I've got a really brilliant strategist, a global international speaker consultant. Ava Ballerin from Barcelona is going to be joining us all the way from from Spain. It's one beautiful thing about this is that you can have people join you on these sessions from all around the world. Ava is going to jump in and she is going to show you how to build a brand that truly dominates. And she. Her stuff, I mean, is. I take notes. When Ava speaks, I take notes, right? And then, of course, wrapping up day five with our growth session, the legendary Beau Bryant, the restaurant giant, is going to be dropping some knowledge bombs. I mean, when this guy talks, it's just like I, I can't write fast enough as when Bo talks. When Bo talks, I'm just. Right. Constantly, just writing notes, writing notes, writing notes. He's going to talk about new restaurant models, especially. Covid's changed a lot of stuff. He's going to talk about ghost kitchens and some other business models that you need to be aware of that could benefit your restaurant and help you grow your. And that's gonna be on day five again, this thing is packed. Five full days. I can't. Anthony is enough. You know, if you want to go to the website, you can get a little bit more bio on the speakers. It is going to be just, you know, I really wanted to come up with a way for people to grow their restaurant during these struggling times. So all you have to do is just go to the. You see it on the, on the link there, growyourrestaurantchallenge.com. here's the thing. When you go, it's totally free. When you sign up, it's totally free. You're gonna get all five days, eight work eight, eight experts, some inter. And 10 interactive sessions, all for just taking action and signing up and saying, I'm in. That's all you gotta do. I always say, restaurant success isn't rocket science, it's people science. And sometimes that people science is just getting you to do something that's a little bit out of your comfort zone. So I want you to take some action. I want you to do something for yourself. I want you to do something for your restaurant. And here's also a great way to kind of help get your team involved. Now it's 10 sessions, 10 live sessions. A lot of people are saying, you know, said to me, donald, there's no way I can attend 10 sessions. You know, I just can't get out of my restaurant that much. That's okay. Here's what you can do. You can assign someone on your team to watch the session. It's free, okay? It doesn't, it doesn't. It doesn't cost anything. Get you, get all your managers signed up for this thing for the grow your restaurant challenge. And then what you do is, you guys look at the agenda, go to the website, grow your restaurant challenge dot com, look at the agenda Pick which ones you're going to attend. Have your managers or leaders pick out which sessions they're going to attend. And then what they do is they commit to going, and then they have to send. They have to write a report and kind of tell the team what they learned from that session. That's a great way to involve your team and also where everyone gets to participate. This is a beautiful way to really start changing your culture. And I talk about this a lot in my books. I talk about changing from a training culture to a learning culture. When you have a learning culture, you have lower turnover because people feel like they're growing and they're learning and they're developing. And that's really. So one of the things I'm gonna talk about in my first session on Monday, on Sunday morning, tomorrow morning, my first session, your hiring sucks. I'm gonna talk about some of the things you can do to reduce turnover. And I'm telling you, reducing your turnover, 5, 10, 15, 20, 50%. It. It adds huge numbers to your bottom line. People don't think about it because there's kind of turnover is kind of that hidden cost, that internal bleeding we don't think about or we don't see. So I really want you to pay attention. I really want you to show up. I want to make it for people could, you know, anybody can. Who had a restaurant could show up, because that's why we made it for free. All my speakers are dedicated to helping you improve your restaurant, grow your restaurant, especially in these times of struggle and heartache and. Oh, just mean. Covid sucks. All right, let's just be honest. Covid sucks. Had to get out there. But anyway, please, it's free. Do something for yourself that is going to help you grow and push past where you are now and move to that next level. The grow your restaurant challenge again starts tomorrow. September 20th. Goes all the way through September 24th. Again, it's free. I don't know how many times I have to tell people that. I think I told people a hundred times, it's free. And then people still email me or message me or text me and say, hey, Donald, how much is it? And I said, it's still the same price. It's free. You just got to take action. So do yourself, do your. Do your restaurant, do your team a favor. Take some time today.

If you get the VIP package, there's a bunch of different bonus material, plus access to a zoom video, a private Q and A with the speakers that you can attend to also.
