ourth-generation leader Taylor Dorman, EVP of Operations at Kansas City's Jack Stack Barbecue, shares how his family has grown a simple 1950s Hickory-smoked BBQ joint into six high-volume restaurants, a catering division, nationwide shipping, and a retail production facility—while staying true to the values that built the business. He explains the family rule that every next-generation member must work elsewhere and earn a promotion before returning, and why he chose to start back in the kitchen before stepping into leadership. Taylor breaks down their core “Hope Through Hospitality” values—Humility, Optimism, Passion, Engagement—which guide hiring, coaching, and daily execution across 850 team members. He discusses how Jack Stack stands out in a competitive BBQ market by offering an elevated but welcoming full-service experience, and how the company navigates rising beef costs, aggressive local competition, and evolving technology without sacrificing genuine hospitality. As a husband and father of three, Taylor also shares how he protects small pockets of time, avoids burnout, and approaches his role as a steward of a 68-year legacy focused on long-term impact rather than short-term gains.10 key takeaways Jack Stack is a 68-year-old, fourth-generation family business with six restaurants, catering, shipping, and retail production. Family members must work outside the business, earn a promotion, and return only in existing roles—no shortcuts. Taylor started back as an assistant kitchen manager, completed a 20-week MIT program, and spent years in operations before becoming EVP. The brand wins by pairing top-tier barbecue with an elevated full-service experience that welcomes every type of guest. Their HOPE values—Humility, Optimism, Passion, Engagement—form the cultural backbone of the company. Humility is non-negotiable; promoting leaders without it can erode a multi-generational business fast. Restaurants offer real human connection and skill-building, especially for younger workers raised on screens. Technology is used only when it improves convenience; hospitality must always stay personal and accessible. Pricing and traffic are major challenges due to beef costs and dense competition; Jack Stack tackles this through strategic purchasing and partnerships like Food Service IQ. Taylor manages work and family by reclaiming small daily pockets of time, building healthy routines, and consistently showing up for both his team and his home.

Luckin Coffee could go public, again. Menu price inflation is moderating. And why restaurant lenders are being more picky right now.

You can have a packed dining room and still be bleeding money, and most owners don't realize it until it hurts. The real problem isn't that you're not busy, it's that you're guessing which hours actually pay the bills instead of looking at what the numbers are quietly trying to tell you. In this episode, I walk you through a simple 5-minute daily habit that shows you exactly which shifts are truly profitable and which ones are just keeping the lights on. You'll see how to spot your strongest dayparts, where labor is quietly eating your margins, and where small adjustments in hours, staffing, or promos could pay off big. By the end, you won't just feel busy, you'll know, in black and white, when your restaurant actually makes money. What You'll Learn
