Hey restaurant owners and operators.
Well, this one's more for operators, managers, employees, line level staff, cooks, servers, bartenders.
I want to give you my number one tip for getting the promotion that you want at work.
I've been getting a lot of questions from people who are either interviewing for jobs
or line-level staff that are looking to get into management or management that's looking
to progress to the next level in management. So here it is.
By the way, if you haven't already subscribed, go ahead and smash that subscribe button,
like the video, leave a comment below. The more comments we get, the more fun this is.
So, I can keep my message growing out there and do all these videos
and no charge for you guys to watch and I know they're helping because the comments I'm getting.
So, keep that coming.
Hey everybody, my name is Ryan Gromfin and I'm an author, speaker, chef, restaurateur
and I'm the founder of TheRestaurantBoss.com and ClickBacon.com.
And I get this question a lot.
Either someone's interviewing for a management job or they're already a manager
and they're looking to get a promotion for more pay, more responsibility,
bigger job, bigger company, whatever that is. So, here's my number one tip.
Learn the next position before you apply for it.
I know that sounds simple but I'm serious.
I get these questions all the time from people who say, "I'm interviewing for a GM position."
and the owner says, "Food costing is really important but I don't know anything about food costing."
Well, then don't interview for the job!
Like, I hate to sound like this but I'm not gonna apologize for it.
And I'm sorry if my tone is changing. I'm actually not sorry.
I appreciate you sticking around for this message.
But when I was a cook, when I worked in the pantry, which was the lowest level in the kitchen
and I wanted to get moved to saute, I learned the saute station.
I didn't wait for someone to train me. I learned the saute station.
So, that way when a saute cook I promoted or moved on or got fired, right?
It's the restaurant business. People get fired or move on all the time.
It was a no-brainer. They just put me right in that position.
I learned that position as fast as I could and then I learned the next position and the next one.
And within a year, I went from a pantry cook to a sous-chef at a five-star hotel.
I've done the same thing in my career. Whether it was in partnerships with other restaurants
or now operating my own business.
I don't ask people to buy things for me until I have learned and mastered it.
Don't ask for people to give you a job until you've learned and mastered it.
So if you're looking for that next job or that next promotion
and you're wondering why you haven't gotten it yet or if you're going into the office to ask for a raise,
ask yourself this one question first. Have you learned all of the skills?
Have you mastered the skills? That that next job or that next pay is required of you?
Or are you hoping to get the job and then you'll learn the skill?
So again, I appreciate you sticking around for this but learn the next position before you even ask for it
and you won't even need to ask for it, it'll just be given to you.
Does this take work? Yeah!
But if we do the same thing everyone else does, we're gonna get the same results they have.
So get on it, take control of your life. It's the new year.
Go out and work for it and get exactly what you want.
Leave a comment below, tell me I'm wrong.
Leave a comment below, tell me I'm right. Leave a comment below and ask me a question.
How can I help you get that next job? What skills do you need?
I'll make videos about them, put them in the comment section below. I'd love to help.
If you're an owner watching this. Maybe share this with some of your staff.
Anyways, thank you so much for sticking around here.
Go ahead and smash that like button. Leave a comment, subscribe to my channel
so I can get you these videos more often into your email box.
My name is Ryan Gromfin with TheRestaurantBoss.
Have a wonderful day and I look forward and bringing you another video just like this next week.
I want to thank you for watching that video.
If you can do me three really quick favors right now. Very quick.
The first is, if you haven't already, will you subscribe to this channel?
In a moment, some things are gonna pop up on your screen, some buttons
and one of those buttons is gonna be subscribed.
So, whether you're watching this on my channel or on YouTube or on your phone,
just stick around for one second and you're gonna see a big subscribe button.
If you haven't already, could you please subscribe?
Two, if you haven't liked this video, will you go ahead and click the like button?
Actually, don't just click it, will you smash that like button
and tell the world that you really enjoy this
because the way that I can continue to bring you all this great free training,
is for my message to expand for more restaurant owners
and future restaurant owners around the world to be watching this.
And so the way to do that is to like my video.
So again if you're watching on YouTube, there'll be a place for you to like it
or if you're back on my website, there'll be a place for you to like that.
So smash that like button for me.
And then also could you leave a comment, ask me a question?
I reply to all my comments, as fast as I can. Usually, within about 24 hours.
Sometimes it takes a little bit longer.
But go ahead and ask me a question, leave me a comment, tell me you love the video,
tell me you'd like to see something else in a video.
If you need more detail on a certain area, I can film other videos about that.
But if you can go ahead and a couple seconds now, it's gonna come out,
if you can subscribe, like and comment that would be great!
Also, there'll be a spot in the... in this little button coming out in a few seconds,
where you can download something for free, I'm always rotating that.
So take a look at that, some free tools
But if you're new to my channel, if you've never seen my videos before,
there will also be a spot for you to watch a video that'll kind of introduce you
to what I do here at TheRestaurantBoss and ClickBacon.com
and tell you about what we do and how you can get more involved
and how you can get more free stuff and all that. So the buttons should be coming in by now.
Go ahead and click on those and have an absolutely wonderful day.
Thank you so much.
