The key to being a successful entrepreneur? Being “Irrationally Passionate!” – Wow! I can relate! ? For this episode of Bring More Joy to the Table, I spoke with Zachary Goldstein, CEO and Founder of Thanx. His company is a leading guest engagement platform in the restaurant industry. ? Zach shared tons of great lessons and insights. It was hard to pick my favorites, but here goes: ? >>>His first job: Tutoring middle school students as a freshman in high school. That taught him how people learn differently, a lesson he applied throughout his business career to better connect with his employees. ? >>>It’s not just about capturing data. You need to create a frictionless way that allows you to actually utilize it! Data is only as good as what you do with it! ? >>> Zach explains that loyalty is a “business outcome”, not just a “program to drive traffic.” They’re working to overturn that misconception! ? >>>It is all about the people!?It is critical that early on, you empower your team and surround yourself with people who share your passion! ? Thanks Zach for coming on the show! It was great to talk with you more!

I chatted a few weeks ago with Peter Newlin about how Gastamo Group is developing distinct casual concepts in Colorado's suburban areas, and he made a few points about design and experience that I've been thinking about ever since. Just listen to Peter in the clip below about how little details like what sound system you choose and the playlist you build can have a huge impact on the guest experience. The full conversation is well worth the listen for any restaurant leader hoping to distinguish their concept through design and experience.
