You need an heir and a spare. When I opened my second restaurant location, I had a manager in place for the first location and hired another manager for the new one. However, the new manager quit just before the opening, leaving me to work 80+ hours a week for six months until the staff and leadership were ready. I learned the importance of having a backup plan in the restaurant industry due to the high turnover. I recommend having both Plan A and Plan B, and even a Plan C, ready at all times.

The 6 indispensable leadership lessons I learned working as a restaurant hostess. #1: Everything is a system. #2: Confidence is why you execute well. #3: Our assumptions are often negative. #4: People notice details. #5.

I started talking to you about restaurants every day over 3 years ago. And it has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. It’s hard to even explain all of the benefits, learnings and outcomes I didn’t see coming. And definitely too many new friends to list. But here are just a few things I want to highlight for those who know content will help them…. But don’t know where to start. 1) Writing every day instills confidence. 2) Daily practice perfects your pitch. 3) There are collabs that you don’t even see 4) Building community makes it easier. 5) Imposter syndrome is real for everyone. 6) There are people who want to help you. 7) Your client is there, and watching you. And as long as you have a strategy to create content, as well as build an audience. Your opportunity is endless. So thank you to the community I have found. And to those who I have had the opportunity to collaborate with so far. There is so much more to come. 👊🏻 Ps. A specific thank you to a few here. 👇🏼 Christin Marvin Scot Turner Michelle Moreno Simon Zatyrka Derek Smith KELLY HIGGINSON Adam Lamb Push Operations 7shifts: Team Management for Restaurants Harri Dylan James Erlendson Notch Restaurants Canada #restaurantindustry #hospitalityindustry #leadership #community

"Dear Restaurant Managers, I see you. Even when the long hours feel endless, when the challenges pile up, and when it feels like your hard work goes unnoticed—you are seen. Your leadership, dedication, and heart are the backbone of every great dining experience. When things get tough, remember that you’re making an impact. You’re building teams, creating memories for guests, and ensuring every detail is in place. Even when it feels like no one is watching, your efforts are shaping the success of everything around you. Stay encouraged, keep believing in yourself, and know that the value you bring doesn’t go unnoticed, even in the quiet moments. Your hard work matters, and it makes a difference every day. With appreciation, Tiffany | Talent Insights Pro #StayEncouraged #RestaurantManagers #HospitalityHeroes #YourWorkMatters #TalentInsightsPro"
