Restaurant owners stuck working in their business, not on it, aren't failing at leadership - they're missing crucial restaurant systems.

Tune in to this episode of Restaurant Growth Accelerator to learn how to build a restaurant business that runs smoothly without you.

Your host and multi-location restaurant owner Andrew Scott - and Dave Doyle - reveal why owners struggle to take time off without chaos erupting. The culprit isn't lazy staff, but a lack of systems, clarity, and accountability.

• Why "people problems" are often systems issues (and what systems you need to install into your restaurant)

• How to create effective checklists that actually get done by your team at all levels

• A simple feedback sequence that maintains standards without alienating your team
