What is it like working as a General Manager, Restaurant?
December 2014
Recognize When You Feel Mismatch Career.
General Manager, Restaurant:
When I was in my late 20s and working at my second job while raising family of five, I realized few months later that it was not the right place for me. But when I was offered a great opportunity to move from Missouri to Connecticut for another opportunity that I was excited about, I decided to stay at my former job because I thought, leaving would break my family.
Life is too short, so my advice to young ones today. If a job really is not working out, find something new and change. Sometimes, random experiences make life exciting, and at the sametime will create or lead to new opportunities.

Some Opportunities For The Right People.
General Manager, Restaurant:
Pros: The initial opportunity that was given to me.
Cons: A publicly traded company cannot care about anything but the shareholders. Even when it is at the expense of the team, the guest and ultimately the product.

Be The Example.
General Manager, Restaurant:
Restaurants are fast and sometimes harsh environments. The best way to get people to do what they should is to do it yourself as well. Hold them to your own standard. No one should demand something from someone they are incapable of doing themselves.
October 2014
General Manager, Restaurant:
Pros: I love my job cause I love people but the work load is plenty sometimes were required to work 70 hours. We're told to run the business as our own.
Cons: The work load and working 6 days a week not being complimented for overtime this job can be very stressful.
September 2014
Never Stop Learning.

Take instruction, grow from every person you meet. Listen to how the people above you achieved their position. There is ALWAYS somewhere else to go.
August 2014
Know Who You Are And What You Are Worth.
General Manager, Restaurant:
