A Purpose Greater Than A Paycheck Mason Ayer says his first memory at Kerbey Lane Cafe was that of scraping gum off the bottom of tables in his parent’s restaurant. When he was five years old, his reward was a nickel for every crusty piece collected. More than three decades later, the stakes have radically changed. But the one thing that has remained constant is Mason’s commitment to the family business. It’s no secret that the large majority of family businesses decline — if not disappear — as the torch is passed from one generation to the next. Fortunately for Austinites, Kerbey Lane has bucked that trend. With Ayer at the helm, the iconic Cafe will expand to its eighth and ninth locations in the coming year. But that’s not all . . . As you will hear in this interview, the brain trust at Kerbey Lane has been working behind the scenes on a new “fast casual” concept that Mason says he’s extremely excited about — the name of which was announced for the first time, on Voices of Impact. In this episode, we dive into core values, open book management and the importance of surrounding yourself with good people. We talk expansion, fresh food and ‘parachute moments.” And Mason explains why realizing he was illiterate in the fourth grade ended up being the turning point in his life.

Restaurants have a notoriously high failure rate and the ones that survive often have razor thin margins. 60 percent of restaurants close or change ownership in the first year of business, 80 percent fail within five years. The fact that Kerbey Lane Cafe in Austin, Texas serves food is almost where the similarities end between Kerbey Lane and most other restaurants. For over 25 years, they’ve done business differently: from hiring to training everyone (down to the table bussers) how their role contributes to the company’s EBITA goal. Today we are talking to Mason Ayer, the CEO of this unique business. He explains how this family-owned restaurant chain, started by his parents, has always seen their business as more than merely serving food. That passion made Kerbey Lane Cafe an Austin Icon with seven unique locations. Mason, the recent winner of the Best CEO award by the Austin Business Journal, shares the insight he’s learned from running the business from a genuinely open book and a big heart. You’ll hear the victories - and struggles - they encountered on the way. You’ll also hear how their leadership style made it all possible. This episode of the For You Leaders Podcast covers a lot of ground, some of the highlights include: The advice Mason shares with people on the verge of making a significant change in their life. The secret sauce Mason attributes to Kerbey Lane Cafe’s continued growth and success and how you can apply these same principles in your business. How Kerbey Lane Cafe uses Open Book Management to empower employees with financial information to help meet the goals of the business. Why Kerbey Lane Cafe gives every hourly employee financial education, even when Mason knows that most employees will not stay at Kerbey Lane Cafe. Mason’s journey from pivoting in a career as an attorney to becoming the CEO of the family business. How Mason intentionally got out of his comfort zone to be an incredible, For You Leader. The way he views work/life balance with his wife as the controller of the business. Mason’s favorite restaurants (besides Kerbey Lane Cafe!) The one job he recommends everyone have at least once in their life. The impact of having ESPN College Gameday at your business
