The 2023 Mission
It’s my mission this year to educate hundreds of people throughout North America on how to strategically start a successful bar or restaurant business.
The numbers don’t lie: 60-70% of bars and restaurants will close within the first 12-24 months. The number one reason for this high failure rate? The lack of strategic clarity.
This live workshop will prepare and educate the audience on the non-negotiable plans needed to win in this industry. The process we will go through during this workshop has helped KRG Hospitality clients boast a 0% failure rate within those same 12-24 months.
The time is now to think big and focus on opportunities. This workshop will go over the requirements, costs, characteristics, systems, mindset, and strategy plans that are 100% non-negotiable to start a successful brand in this industry. After this workshop, attendees will leave with the confidence, understanding, and tools needed to WIN!
