How do you feel about clients being blatantly rude to you? All Horesty 's clients can be divided into three main types: ?? "I want a restaurant, but I don't know anything about it." ?? "I have set up tables and chairs, made a kitchen, but the restaurant is not working." ?? "My restaurant is 10 years old, but guests have stopped coming." The first and third types of clients are usually willing to listen and do everything to succeed. The second type often claims that they know everything, that everything is fine, and that their restaurant is the best because they have invested a lot of money in the project. But when you ask a simple question like, "What is your problem? Why did you come to us?", - the response is silence. Yesterday, during a strategic session, I was severely berated for asking such questions. Conclusion: For successful cooperation, it is important to choose clients who are ready for dialogue and receptive to advice. Only those who recognize their problems and are open to change can truly benefit from our services. Clients must be willing to acknowledge that they need help and be eager to work on improvements. Without this, even the best recommendations and strategies will not yield the desired results. #restaurant #hospitality #consulting #business #founders #clients

### The Mantra of Successful Business: A Holistic Approach In the bustling heart of the city, a little restaurant thrived, not just because of its food, but due to a profound mantra: "We take care of our staff, the staff takes care of our guests, the guests take care of our sales, and the sales take care of our profitability." #### 1. *We Take Care of Our Staff* The restaurant's founder believed that a happy team was essential for success. From the start, the goal was to create an environment where every staff member felt valued. Competitive wages, comprehensive training, and growth opportunities were provided. A supportive culture was nurtured, making everyone feel like part of a family. #### 2. *Staff Takes Care of Our Guests* With a motivated team, the restaurant's atmosphere was always warm and welcoming. The staff’s positive energy extended to their interactions with guests. A waitress remembered regulars' names and preferences, and the bartender crafted personalized cocktails. Their genuine care turned ordinary meals into memorable experiences. #### 3. *Guests Take Care of Our Sales* Satisfied guests became loyal patrons and enthusiastic ambassadors. Social media buzzed with rave reviews and photos of dishes. Word-of-mouth brought in new customers, and the dining room was always bustling. #### 4. *Sales Take Care of Our Profitability* With soaring popularity, sales figures followed. Steady revenue growth allowed for reinvestment. The kitchen was expanded, the dining area upgraded, and a new seasonal menu was introduced. Financial stability meant the restaurant could weather economic fluctuations. ### Conclusion This restaurant's story shows the power of a holistic approach. By taking care of the staff, a ripple effect led to exceptional guest experiences, increased sales, and sustained profitability. This mantra was a commitment to a thriving business model where everyone benefited.

Our vision was to provide reviews anchored in context, ensuring they are comparable, current, and credible. ?? Each business is unique, and its ratings should reflect that.

Napoleon: A Gourmet or a Glutton? The Power of Modern Business Meals When we examine Napoleon's eating habits, it’s difficult to determine whether he was a sophisticated gourmet or simply a fast and careless eater. Historical accounts suggest that he didn’t place much importance on dining rituals and often struggled to adhere to proper table manners. However, one thing is clear: Napoleon understood the social power of the dining table and its potential to bring people together. Napoleon’s fast and impatient eating style indicates that he was more focused on work than on gourmet pleasures. His breakfast typically consisted of simple dishes like eggs fried in butter and Parmesan cheese, while his dinners were heavy and substantial. Yet, many times, he would send his meals back to the kitchen. For Napoleon, the dining table wasn’t just a place for nourishment—it was also a stage for developing diplomatic strategies, building power relationships, and sending important social messages. He often entrusted key figures like Cambacérès and Talleyrand to host grand feasts, using these meals to foster political connections. This historical example shows us that, even today, meals in the business world continue to serve as a strategic tool. Business meals are not just about eating; they are key moments where relationships are built, trust is established, and strategic decisions are made. The table remains a powerful space for strengthening connections, fostering business partnerships, and even displaying social status. Napoleon's approach to the dining table highlights the social and strategic value of meals, both then and now. Just as in Napoleon’s time, today’s business meals are an essential tool for bringing people together, nurturing relationships, and even displaying power. Reflecting on the cultural and social influence of the dining table—and using it effectively in the business world—has always been a valuable strategy. #Napoleon #CulinaryHistory #FoodCulture #SocialPower #BusinessMeals #Diplomacy #FrenchCuisine

There are about 29,000 restaurants in Los Angeles. How many have the highly coveted, and rare, Michelin 3 Star rating? The Michelin rating evolved and became accepted Worldwide as THE rating system for restaurants. It is rare and highly coveted to be awarded a Michelin Star. It is the desire of many restaurants, and the envy of others, to receive Stars. Here is how they rate restaurants: 1 Star: High quality cooking, worth a stop 2 Stars: Excellent cooking, worth a detour 3 Stars: Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey A Michelin 3 Star Rating means IT IS WORTH VISITING THAT COUNTRY JUST TO VISIT THAT RESTAURANT!! I searched Michelin's website and there are 6 restaurants in California that are 3-Star. However, NONE of them are in Los Angeles. In this digital and global economy, it is easy to work with anybody around the world. Let me ask you . . . . . . Is your business 3 Star? Is it worth visiting your country, just to work with you? This is the starting point for phenomenal growth. Blessings, Chris. #marketing #sales #engineeredgrowthsystems #engineeredmarketing #entrepreneurship #businessboost

What is your favorite City to have a meal and entertain for business? If you could pick one City to take a client to and have dinner which would it be and where would you go? Do any of the Cities on this list surprise you they would in the top 10? What is your favorite type of food to eat when entertaining clients (or yourself with friends)? Obvious choice for many would be LA or NYC. My favorites would be a toss up between New Orleans, Chicago, Miami, and Charleston. I was surprised about Portland, ME and ask people to tell me why they think it is on the list. Think of BBQ when I think about Austin and I am sure my Texas friends can tell me what else is great in Austin. Know the growth of Austin has people coming in from all over the country and a bringing variety of food choices and new restaurants with them. Look forward to hearing input on your favorite City even if it is not on the list, types of food, and any favorite restaurants you take clients and prospects.
