Office Hours: Doing Less To Earn More

Office Hours: How to Clone Yourself Without Hiring

I’m Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I’ve spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.

In this episode, I talk about why most restaurant owners struggle to see where their real profits are hiding. If you are not actively evaluating performance, you are guessing. I break down how to take control of your numbers and where to look first when margins start slipping.
