Success Without the Degree
Sam has a spent a full TWO WEEKS in University before he gave it up. He believes that real-life experience is much more valuable than education. Sam’s recommendation is travel. Travel is where you meet new people and find yourself.
Balancing Your Dreams with customers’ Expectations
Sam had to make a pivotal decision in the first year of opening up the restaurant. His original menu wasn’t what the community wanted. This is where he learned that his vision also has to meet with the customers’ desires. So, he consulted with his wife and team to make one of the biggest decisions that saved his restaurant.
A Message to online ‘Reviewers’
Things won’t always be perfect in the restaurant industry. Sam recognises that issues do arise and he and his team are committed to solve them. If you are having a negative experience in a restaurant, Sam recommends being verbal and informing the staff. Thus, problems can be resolved throughout your time at the restaurant. He kindly asks to not jump quickly onto online review sites without giving the restaurant the opportunity to rectify the situation.
