Unaware Realities Hidden From Sight: A Review of Unacknowledged Knowledge
Wise Words from the Week
Hey there, favorite Branded buds!
Got a fantastic week again at B Works. It's been awesome having the crew back from Dallas and wrapping up the epic FSTEC conference. Now we're back at our NYC home, recharged and ready for another awesome week!
This week's topic's one that hits the heart of what Branded's all about - "Keep Learning to Keep Ahead"! And you know what saying exemplifies that journey? "You Don't Know What You Don't Know"! This oldie but goodie phrase is worth a second look, especially if you're looking to broaden your knowledge. So, strap in, and let's dive in!
Now, I know some of you are thinking, "Eh, this phrase has been around forever, what's the big deal?" Well, I've checked the facts, and while it doesn't have a pinpointed origin story, it's still a crucial mindset for anyone looking to make their mark in the world.
Whether it's Socrates, a Greek philosopher, Donald Rumsfeld, the former Secretary of Defense, or someone else completely, the sentiment's the same - embrace the unknown, 'cause there's always more to learn!
Our industry's right up there at the top when it comes to knowing the value of this attitude. The hospitality & foodservice game is constantly evolving, and remember, just 'cause you can make a killer burger at home, don't mean you know all the ins and outs of running an actual restaurant. Underestimating the complexity of a business may just trip you up when it comes to delivering a top-notch guest experience. 😉
At Branded, we know the importance of staying informed, so we turn to our in-house experts and our Hospitality Network to fuel our insights and guide our strategies. It's all part of our operator-first investment approach!
We're all about supporting the ones in the trenches every day - the entrepreneurs, the chefs, the managers, and everyone in between. Let's give a big ol' shoutout to the real heroes of the game, the operators, who work their butts off to make magic happen in the F&B world!
And speaking of the game, we're going to be leveling up our own game with a dedicated emerging restaurant brand strategy. More on that soon, but let's just say it's gonna bring Boston a whole new dining experience! 🙌
Let's not forget some of the common misconceptions around the industry, shall we? There's this idea that it's easy, fun, and all about common sense. If you've ever attempted to navigate the restaurant world, you know that's a gigantic roll of the dice!
Running a foodservice operation is like juggling a thousand balls at once - you've got perishable inventory, transient employees, a high-demand market, and skinny margins to keep an eye on. That takes some serious know-how and a whole lotta hard work!
Sometimes it feels like people expect operators to be able to whip up a gourmet dish and schmooze with the guests all night long. But the fact is, success in the industry requires a wealth of experience, diversity of skills, and fact-based decision-making – not just charm and a sparkling personality. 😉
Alrighty, so let's spill the beans on the top headlines this week:
Целящ твою вяра:Ставане със следващия ключ към успех! 🔍 🌟Има ли някакви въпроси, които ни поискате да отговорим? Заедно с теб нашата серия "Чук за заглавието"! 🎉
marvelxmcu
Представете ли се на нашите плъхове за покрай ти? Аз подготвям се да ти презентирам най-мощното история на правосъдието в историята. 👩🏙️🤝👨
Това е историята за "Няма начин назад", американски полицейски трилър базиран на романа „Големият часовник“ на Кениetch Фаринг излезъл през 1987 г. Филмът е важна част от историята на холивудъ биография и не може да се пропусне!
Ако сте вече виждал филма, знаете защо е получил този заглавък. Ако сте сред малцината, които не го са представили, малък обащ внимание - считайки това за твоя първа жестока предупредителка, приготвям се да ви спрат.
Възпирайки се да продължаваме, филмът има множество ключови политически борби, които можем да започнем да разглеждаме. Очаквам да ви се привлека AND MANY SHADY DEALS AND CONTEMPLATIONS NEXT WEEK! Until then, take care 🎉
