The Fundamentals of Hospitality: Celebrate Success Always! Our industry moves at a ferocious pace. Guests come and go, months fly by, targets keep us busy, and it can often be a new year before we know it! We often get caught up with a focus on the next day, the next target, or the next milestone, and we forget to celebrate. Every win is a win, and taking time to measure backward is just as important as looking forward. Never forget the progress you have made as an individual and team, whether big or small. Spending time to celebrate wins is fundamental in building a strong, high-performing and motivated team in the long run! #TheFundamentalsofHospitality #Celebrate #Wins

It's been a while LinkedIn, and yeesh we been busy. ⚡ After many years of fire fighting in my previous role, I left with a wealth of experience. I was fortunate to have incredible support, development, and opportunities along the way. I helped bring together brands, develop concepts, and create award-winning menus, and we had an amazing time doing it. The best part? The people. The education and experiences I shared over the years, watching individuals grow in confidence, seizing opportunities, and then going on to achieve great things—that's something I'll forever be grateful for. (You know who you are) COVID had a profound impact on me. It pushed me to reconnect with the outdoors, get back into fitness, and realize just how destructive my lifestyle had become. Over time, the business changed. I clung to the best parts of my work while, in reality, it was slowly chipping away at my mental health. I had invested so much in my physical well-being and was using that as an escape. I was living two lives: crafting menus I no longer believed in, holding coaching sessions that felt disconnected. The role no longer served me, and I no longer fit. It wasn’t right or wrong—it was just business. I realized my true purpose was helping people, making a difference. Today, I coach, personal train, and run—a lot. I’m still a strong advocate for mental health. As fast as my new path has taken off (faster than I ever expected), I couldn’t completely step away from the industry that gave me so much. I wanted to empower change. Bar operations and creative development are often lumped together, usually filled by the most experienced individual, until they become the central figure in the business—without clear roles or fair compensation for the work they do. The problem is, they’re often either too operational and not creative enough or vice versa. Most of the time, businesses can’t afford both roles, and the individual becomes overwhelmed, which leads to burnout or being let go. I’ve seen it first-hand through years of delivering redundancies. My goal was to bridge that gap. I want to set businesses up for long-term success by channelling collective knowledge, providing the tools and experience necessary to enable future bar operations and creative teams to thrive. This is about progress and saving bars from losing their best people and creating a more profitable business. This has been a long time coming. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’re building here at Industry Spirit, and whilst I attempt to find balance in both worlds, I’m excited to keep working alongside some of the most amazing and selfless people. If you’re part of a growing hospitality group, bar, or an individual facing challenges—we can help. Between us, we’ve seen it all and, more often than not, done more with less. If we haven’t seen the problem before, we’ll work relentlessly until we find a solution. Follow us, share, and get in touch. Let’s continue to make great things happen. ✨

Before we open we start our day with a premeal. This consist of different topics of conversation that keeps us aligned. We go over any new items, events for the day, and this pictures below is a roleplay being presented. This is reflecting at its finest. Here at Your 3rd Spot™ Social Dining we do roleplays to keep things fresh. As a team in different positions it's fun to hear what one department will spiel to guests vs. another department. When we do these roleplays we always have the team reflect. What did we like or what can we add. Hearing these also keep the team informed and aligned so we are all on one accord. These roleplays are super fun as well with the team because they are always different. We throw out different names and situations. It's always fun to see the reply with who is doing the roleplay because you must know how to answer any curve ball. That's why this team is so great. They test each other because we all have the same goal of winning and delivering the best of the best. Now that is a team. Working together to be better. #your3spot #atl #atlanta #hospitality #teamwork #growth

It's crazy to see what startups can accomplish in a short period. Although we are backed by industry experience, there were numerous times when we were stuck with a lot of things. And the only attitude with which we moved forward was "don't know how but I will get it done." Everyone did everything irrespective of their roles, and that has helped the company to slowly stabilize itself. We are still growing and I'm extremely grateful to be here and to be a part of this journey. The learning definitely doesn't stop here and so do we! #oneyearanniversary #startup #endlesslearning

In the professional world, it's essential to remember that collaboration and success go hand in hand. While we may not always be on the same team or share the same table, supporting each other's growth and achievements benefits us all. Let's strive for success together, even if it means dining at different tables. #Success #Collaboration #Professionalism

This quote is an awesome perspective on hospitality. Most of us were taught the Golden Rule at some point growing up - treat people the way you want to be treated. How many of us really make it a point to live that out? Hospitality is one of my core values, and my mantra around it is to live the PLATINUM rule - treat people better than you would expect to be treated. I hope you get the chance to treat someone with more love and respect than they would expect you to this week! If you missed any of these insights from the past week, just scroll to the right! Have a wonderful week! #dailyquotesanddadjokes

On Resilience and Leadership 🌟 Watching an old clip of Conan O’Brien, he spoke about the grind of hosting a talk show - how, despite being sick or tired, the show must go on. This struck a chord with me, especially reflecting on my own experiences and those of many in the hotel and restaurant industry. I’ve been ill, seriously at times, and I’ve seen colleagues face even harsher trials, from battling cancer to enduring profound personal losses. Yet, they show up to work, embodying a level of dedication that’s both admirable and humbling. #this is what the legendary #hotelmanagement and #restauranteurs understand more than the 98% of the rest, and they have policies procedures in place, but it starts with living it, being a role model that understands, empathizes, and knows it, from living it. #agree? #disagree? Love to hear your thoughts. This isn’t just about obligation. It’s about understanding that our teams and our guests rely on us, not just as individuals but as part of a greater whole. Coming to work in the face of adversity isn’t just a duty; it’s a testament to our commitment to each other - like exercising a muscle, or leaning on a friend in tough times. It's a reminder of the strength found in our collective resilience, and the importance of showing up, no matter what. Because at the end of the day, our roles are about more than just us; they're about the people we serve and the teams we're a part of. #Leadership #Resilience #Hospitality #hotels #hotelmanagement #fortheloveofhospitality #restaurant #ownership #mentors #thelife #conan #talkshow #thanks #coco
