jobTopia with Tony Moore

Are you a control freak? Would you rather just do the job yourself than take the time to train someone? If you plan to advance in the F&B industry and run multiple restaurants, this managerial mistake will hamper your growth. Guidance from Travis' mentors and his own will to succeed pushed him to stretch his career goals.  Striving to achieve loftier goals, Travis was faced with the limitations of "I can't be everywhere at once", and the need for delegation and employee retention strategies became his focus. Without this realization, failure was certain.  Travis's story is for everyone.  Learn the art of delegation and other successful philosophies to help you win at work.

What is the marketing strategy behind this? Is it profitable? Just how much money does your local restaurant lose partnering with Doordash or GrubHub? Is there a better way to market?
