Kapota Mudra -- The Waitress (11 November 1996 - Boulder, CO)
70% of first-time restaurant customers never return. Here's exactly what smart restaurants do to flip that number and turn one-time guests into loyal regulars.In this episode of The Modern Waiter Podcast, we break down the 5-step system restaurants use to increase customer retention, build loyalty, and grow revenue without spending a dollar on ads. We cover the silent signifiers servers use to identify first-timers, the "Inception" farewell technique that plants the seed for a return visit, and the one manager habit that eliminates the need for impersonal surveys.This episode covers real, actionable front-of-house strategy from servers with over 50 years of combined experience.#RestaurantMarketing #CustomerRetention #RestaurantTips #ServerLife #restaurantbusiness Subscribe for weekly restaurant industry insights, server tips, and front-of-house secrets.Follow Me On Social Media:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/TikTokSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Media McKnight: Nat Bass dudded by BBC? | When Australian Ninja Warrior is filming | Big Brother Brisbane Location Confirmed | Guy Ashford Out | Nine & the NRL | Qld Govt False Advertising | Darren Sanders On tonight's Media McKnight: Nat Bassingthwaighte reveals her song Voodoo Child was used in one of the most iconic Doctor Who episodes ever — distributed to more than 200 territories — and the Rogue Traders received not a single cent. We dig into why. Plus, Nat on the ageism backlash she faced when cast in the musical Waitress. Guy Ashford is out at 2HD and newFM following the radio awards groping incident. The right outcome — and a sign the industry is finally moving on. Big Brother is confirmed to be moving to Screen Queensland Studios in Brisbane. And Australian Ninja Warrior is heading to Channel 10 in 2027, with Queensland production also likely. The Australian newspaper runs a story suggesting Nine couldn't afford the NRL rights because of its EPL deal. We call it out for what it is. The Queensland government is still running ads calling themselves "the new government" — 18 months after the election. Time to update the messaging. And Darren Sanders — comedian, former talk show host, and the man who once danced next to Whitney Houston — has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia. We wish him well, and there's a GoFundMe link below.
Restaurant Campers: The Ultimate Server Nightmare. We've all been there, that table that just WON'T leave. In this episode of The Modern Waiter Podcast, Danny and I dive into every server's worst nightmare: restaurant campers. We're breaking down a viral Reddit post about guests who stayed for FOUR HOURS, ordered only hummus and drinks, lingered an hour past closing time, and thought a 20% tip would make everything okay. Spoiler alert: it didn't.Every service industry worker knows the frustration of campers who treat your section like their personal living room. We explore why this behavior is so problematic for servers who depend on table turnover and tips, the lack of communication from guests who overstay, and what proper dining etiquette actually looks like.#ServerLife #RestaurantIndustry #ServiceIndustryFollow Me On Social Media:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@themodernwaiterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This Special Collections episode is called Broadway - The Performers. Each episode of Special Collections focuses on a particular common thread that ties together some of my guests. In this episode, that common thread is Broadway. Each of the guests featured here is an accomplished and acclaimed performer in one or more Broadway productions. Broadway is one of the great storytelling traditions in the world — where music, lyrics, story, choreography, and performance come together to create powerful emotional experiences. What connects each of the artists in this collection is not only their Broadway experience, but their love of performing — and their deep connection to the Broadway tradition. Here are the six performers who are profiled in this episode: ⸻ Shoshana Bean - two-time Tony Award–nominated actress. “Hell's Kitchen”, “Mr. Saturday Night”, “Wicked”, “Waitress”, “Hairspray”. Melissa Errico - Tony Award nominee whose Broadway credits include “My Fair Lady” and “Les Miserables”. Sam Harris - Cy Coleman's “The Life”, Tommy Tune's “Grease”, “The Producers”, “Jesus Christ Superstar”. Ann Hampton Callaway - “Swing”. BroadwayWorld's “Celebrity of the Year”.

A Note from Jacob: Since my conversation with Matt, the 2026 Janice Jam at Sony Hall is OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT! I am thrilled to welcome back my friend, actor Matt DeAngelis, to Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar for an exclusive conversation! Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Matt grew up on showtunes and Boston sports. Matt studied theatre at the University of Southern Maine and The Boston Conservatory before heading down Route 95 to NYC in 2004. In June 2009, Matt got the call to make his Broadway debut in the Tony-winning production of HAIR with Tony Award winner Diane Paulus at the helm. Matt continued with that production, “Across the Atlantic Sea,” to the West End in the role of “Woof,” then launched the first national US Tour of HAIR, and was seen back on Broadway in the “Summer of Love” revival of HAIR. Following his time with the hippies, Matt launched the first national tour of Green Day's AMERICAN IDIOT as the “Representative from Jingletown”. Matt's cross-country adventures continued in 2014 with the first national tour of ONCE, where he played “Svec” and five instruments. Over the last five years, Matt has been a veteran of almost 2,000 performances. Thankfully, Matt returned home to Broadway (again with Diane Paulus) in the hit musical WAITRESS, where he starred opposite Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller, two-time Grammy winner Jason Mraz, and seven-time Grammy nominee and the show's composer, Sara Bareilles. He then toured the country with the WAITRESS National Tour as Earl opposite his real-life wife, Christine Dwyer, as Jenna. Upon returning from the road, Matt was a part of developing the World Premiere of The Secret Life of Bees at The Atlantic Theatre Company, directed by Tony Award winner Sam Gold. He also appeared in Orpheus Descending at Theatre for a New Audience. Matt DeAngelis also started the Janice Jam in memory of his mother, Janice, who passed from metastatic breast cancer in 2022. This annual event channels the magic of Broadway to honor those we've lost, uplift those fighting, and fund critical research. This event serves as a yearly celebration of Janice, her love for theater, and raising money for those affected by metastatic breast cancer. An all-star group of performers is joining Matt and his wife, Christine Dwyer, this year. Ari Axelrod, Ashley Loren, Carrie St. Louis, Cassadee Pope, Derek Klena, Donald Webber Jr., Eric Michael Krop, Justin Matthew Sargent, Kara Lindsay, Laurie Hernandez, and Norm Lewis are all expected to participate in the show. On this exclusive edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Matt DeAngelis spoke about how Janice Jam partnered with Masquerade and previewed the sold-out event.

The Truth About Tipping: What Cornell's Leading Researcher Discovered After 40 Years. Have you ever stopped to wonder why you actually tip? The answer might surprise you more than you'd expect. Joining this week's podcast, Cornell Professor Mike Lynn has spent over 40 years and published more than 80 research papers studying the psychology of tipping, and his findings challenge nearly everything most people assume about gratuities.Some of what he found is genuinely counterintuitive. Service quality, for example, accounts for only about 5% of tip amounts. The number one reason people tip is not what they typically say it is. The racial tipping gap shrinks significantly with one straightforward factor. Smiling can have a dramatic effect on tip size. And yes, things like physical attractiveness and even stock market performance show up in the data too.Professor Lynn walks us through the hidden psychology behind tipping, and explains why no-tipping restaurants have repeatedly struggled to survive. #Tipping #PsychologyAbout our GuestWebsite: https://www.tippingresearch.com/Dr. Michael Lynn is a professor at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration and one of the world's foremost experts on tipping behavior. A former waiter and bartender himself, he has spent his career researching why people tip and has published over 80 peer-reviewed papers on the subject. His book "The Psychology of Tipping," brings together decades of his research in one place.The book is available on Amazon https://a.co/d/04MFsQiO What surprised you most about tipping psychology?

Diane Paulus joins the show for a deep dive into her remarkably storied career, starting with the serendipitous discovery of her father's history as a director for the Army Entertainment Corps in post-war Tokyo. She shares how growing up at the doorstep of Lincoln Center and performing as a child at the New York City Ballet shaped her rhythmic, music-first approach to storytelling. Diane also pulls back the curtain on the "NASA mission" level of complexity required to mount her latest production, Masquerade, explaining the mathematical precision needed to move audiences through six floors of a converted art supply store. The conversation explores Diane's obsession with the audience's role as the "final character" and her mission to move theater beyond the traditional proscenium. From the disco-fueled origins of The Donkey Show to the egoless, collaborative rehearsal process of rotating six different Phantoms, Diane reveals how she manages to make the impossible possible. It is an inspiring look at the future of immersive experiences and the enduring power of human-centered, visceral ritual. Diane Paulus is a Tony Award-winning director and the Terrie and Bradley Bloom Artistic Director of the American Repertory Theater at Harvard University. Her celebrated Broadway credits include the high-octane revivals of Hair, Pippin, 1776, and The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess, as well as the hit musicals Waitress, Finding Neverland, and Jagged Little Pill. She is currently the visionary behind Masquerade, a brand-new immersive reimagining of The Phantom of the Opera in New York City. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The restaurant industry has a pay gap that almost everyone argues about but very few people truly understand. Why do servers often make more money than cooks? Is the system unfair, or is there an economic reason behind it?In this episode of The Modern Waiter Podcast, we break down the reality behind restaurant pay structures and explain why front of house and back of house wages work so differently.Many kitchen workers feel the system is unfair because they are the ones creating the product. At the same time, servers often rely on tips and sales performance to earn their income.#restaurantlife #serverlife #chef lifeFollow Me On Social Media:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@UC29jIbBYXKxWMJBDFklmwHQSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Go to www.LearningLeader.com This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Kat Cole is the CEO of AG1 (formerly Athletic Greens) and a renowned business leader known for a meteoric rise from Hooters waitress to Fortune 40 Under 40 executive. As former President/COO of Focus Brands (Cinnabon), she specializes in scaling global brands. Her career is defined by driving billions in sales, strategic innovation, and a strong, people-first leadership style. Key Learnings You can't market your way out of a bad product. AG1 has 3x'd the business in four years while being in only one channel (direct to consumer) for 15 years. 80% of retail is in brick and mortar, so they were doing that volume in less than 20% of where transactions happen. That only works when customers love the product, keep buying it for years, and tell their friends. Scale comes from trusted recommendations, not marketing spend. Real volume comes from people telling their friends, recommending it to their teams and companies. That's where real scale and sustainable growth comes from. Two questions guide every career decision. Is my work done here? Can someone else do what the company needs better than I can? If the answer to either is yes, that guides you toward pushing for change in your role, the way you show up, or finding the next opportunity. Sometimes the best move is the lesser-known role. Kat could have stayed running big franchise brands everyone knew (Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's), but becoming COO of the parent company, Focus Brands, was a bigger, more complex role. Lesser known, smaller team, bigger stretch, more learning. That bridged her into consumer packaged goods and got her ready for AG1. Consider financial needs, learning, and ego separately. Between financial needs, your ability to learn or contribute, and your ego or optics, there are questions you can ask yourself about a particular moment or opportunity that will help you be sharper in what you actually want versus what just looks like what's best next on the surface. The founder heard her on podcasts and asked for an introduction. AG1's founder heard Kat on a couple of podcasts, knew Sahil Bloom, and asked Sahil to make the intro. She just happened to be taking time off and had been a customer for two years. "You're interviewing for your next job every day." Whatever you do now, that choice of time, that tone of voice, that decision, how you show up or don't, creates an impact that leads to an experience and people's actions and then results. Eventually, it leads to the next thing. Showing kindness in the airport matters. A caring note to someone struggling, a teacher or stranger saying, "I see something in you," a compliment when someone's in a dark place. It helps people out of darkness. Or opportunistically, being the one who sent the email or made the ask means you're the one who got the opportunity. Don't burn bridges even when you feel wronged. When Kat was an executive at Hooters at 26, peers in their 50s and 60s would say things in meetings that weren't kind or appropriate. She would write letters expressing how it made her feel, but never sent them. She processed, reflected, and showed up professionally. Years later, those same people became advocates, partners, and references. Four key mindsets for senior leaders. Humility, curiosity, courage, and confidence. By the time candidates get to Kat, they've been vetted on technical capability. She spends time validating those four characteristics because leadership and style trickle far into the organization. Ask "if not for" questions to reveal humility. When someone tells you how they stood tall in tough moments, ask what enabled them to do those great things. They'll say, "I had access to this data, this team, this technical leader." Then ask: "If those people did not exist, if that resource did not exist, how would you have navigated that?" You peel back layers and see if they have the humility to acknowledge their success was due to critical factors. The best candidates do the job in the interview. When someone says, "If we're doing this, we'll absolutely need this person in this specific role," or they have people in mind they're bringing with them, that's a good sign. Hiring leaders who have people who are loyal to them shows something real. In reference checks, ask, "What does this person need to be successful?" It's a positive framing to get at what someone might lack or require around them to be effective. Help people answer "how should I think about this?" In a fully remote company, you have less context and fewer vibes. When you send a note about ending a product line or launching something you said you'd never launch, people's subconscious internal war is "how should I think about this?" Leaders should start communications with "here's how I think about this" or "here's how we should think about this." Sometimes the answer is to shut up and speak last. As teams get stronger, there's more weight on the few things the CEO says. Leave space for other leaders to lead. Kat removed herself from some meetings entirely because she has such great leaders and a strong culture. Pay attention to themes in criticism, not individual attacks. When competitors attack you, ask: Are there patterns? Is there something reflective of industry questions? Sometimes criticisms point to things you already do well but aren't communicating well enough. Comparison ads work short-term but don't build credibility long-term. Challenger brands use the playbook of "we're like the leader, but better/cheaper." Consumers see through it. People tell AG1, "I saw an ad comparing their product to yours, and they're clearly saying you're the leader." The rage bait is brief; the truth is long. Algorithms reward dopamine hits and rage bait. Something untrue or negatively spun can quickly become widely seen because the critique is brief and witty, but the explanation and truth are long. AG1 has more human trials on a single SKU than any other multi-ingredient product ever in the space, but that's harder to say in a sound bite. Don't criticize a car for not taking you to the moon. Someone criticized one of AG1's products for not doing something the product isn't supposed to do. When addressing criticism, clarify what the product is actually designed to do. Her husband will be the fourth person ever to row across three oceans. He's already rowed the Atlantic (set the US record as a pair) and the Caribbean. Now he's training for the Pacific. If he completes it, he'll be only the fourth person to have ever done it in the world. It's about who you become while striving for the big thing. After her husband got rescued in the Caribbean, he questioned why he was doing this with two kids. But this pursuit is who he is, what drives him, it's inspiring for the kids, and it makes him a better person when he's home. It's about the journey and who you do it with.

Can someone else do what the company needs better than you can? When interviewing someone, ask what enabled them to succeed in a tough moment. Then ask: if that team or resource didn't exist, how would you have done it differently? What communication this week needs context? Start with: here's what this means, what it's not about, and how we should think about it.
