We discuss the Just Eat half year results.  Our advice is always to try and negotiate on the rates that they charge.  There can be a big variation between the commissions that they charge different restaurants - so negotiate and see how much you can save.  (Or you can get Free Restaurant OnLine Ordering with FROLO) :)   This episode covers People and Processes so that you can take a holiday. People.   We've talked to some experts on Restaurant hiring and culture, like Nick Sarillo from Nick's Pizza and Pub in Chicago and Carrie Luxem, from Restaurant HR Group, about how to hire right for your company and how to retain great people.  Getting the hiring right is a big part of building a strong team and a strong team is a team that can function when you are away on your holiday. Process The last P in the 3Ps of taking a holiday is process.  How do you do everything in your Restaurant?  Clear communication about what the job entails and how it needs to be done. We look at a couple of examples around how process can make a big difference in your business and how it can build trust into your business.  Too many businesses don't do inventory and they are afraid to leave the business because they are worried that too much stock will walk out the door if they aren't there. Too many restaurants are only open when the owner is physical in the Restaurant.  If you had great processes, you can then open longer, which can dramatically increase profitability.  Have a listen to this because it can make a big difference. Some tech we use are Slack and Zoom.  This helps our teams communicate.  Confluence is a great tool to keep all of your procedures.  This is great for recipes and for all of your opening and closing routine procedures.  IP cameras are a great way to provide a powerful tool to help with trust.  It is good to be able to review the video for instances when a customer claims a hair is in their soup, or someone working the till, or the staff member that doesn't do any work.   Helping Restaurant owners take a holiday is a big thing for us, so if you've used any of our tips or tools to take a holiday, please send us a photo!

    We look at Just Eats latest profit results.  Orders growth is slowing and they are relying more for Revenue growth on top placement, which is where Restaurants pay for higher results in the Just Eat listings.  In Australia, Menulog has struggled with the entry of UberEats and Deliveroo and our Free Restaurant OnLine Ordering system. In this podcast we look at how you can build a community in your Restaurant.  Looking at a place like Nick's Pizza and Pub, you can see the way that Facebook represents the integrated, community focused marketing plan that Nick Sarillo has at Nick's. Marketing with suppliers.  Telling the story of your suppliers can really help you to tell your story better.  Your suppliers are often struggling to get traction with their customers, so if you are marketing heir great produce, you may be able to access marketing funds or resources like a wine maker from your local winery to help run a wine tasting.  You can even run joint marketed events, engaging with not only your email marketing list, but possibly your suppliers. Marketing to journalists.  There are a lot less journalists now, which means that journalists are very time poor.  This means that you can start telling a story about your Restaurant that is newsworthy.  (Hint:  The best place to interact with Journalists is on Twitter.)  In dealing with bloggers and journos, have a think about the way that Danny Meyer in Setting the Table.  Every restaurant should have a PR plan and Facebook can be a great way of driving your PR plan. We like to use email marketing with Facebook.  You can upload your email list into Facebook (if you are happy to) to increase the conversion rate of campaigns by running an ad to people who have already received an email. The 9th way of our 8 ways  to use Facebook to grow your restaurant is to use Facebook for market research.  This means that you can have better dishes on the menu and you are creating connections and relationships with people as they help you to create the dishes that they want.  These customers will be more likely to come into your Restaurant to try that meal when they see that meal advertised.  

Paul chats with Nick Sarillo of Nick's Pizza and Pub about what shaped his business and life.

Nick Sarillo is an expert in building a great culture.  He run's Nick's Pizza and Pub in Chicago.  It is America's third largest independent pizza Restaurant. Nick was a building by trade (he built the restaurant!) and he has taken the skills from his building business in managing a team across to his Pizza business.  Nick is an expert in building culture.  I was lucky enough to eat at Nick's and it is a great experience.  His staff have a very low turnover, love working at the Restaurant, truly believe in the values of the business. Nick practices open book accounting.  Unlike a lot of businesses that talk about it, Nick really does do it.  I've seen it!  I have seen the P+L up on the wall for all to see. Have a listen to this podcast and have a think about your approach to hiring and managing a team.   In Tech Focus, we look at Canva, a great tool to help you put text and create Social Media content quickly and easily. We finish off with a quote from Sun Tzu.
