I spend most of my week speaking with restaurant owners from all over the world... and when I go out to eat I pay careful attention to what the operators are saying. (Yes, I sometimes eavesdrop, but I also like to strike up conversations with the managers when I can.) And there are 6 things I hear all the time these days... 
And I just don't think they should be in our vocabulary any more. 
So on today's episode I'm going to share these 6 complaints, and I'm going to show you a way to rethink them. A way to shift your mindset about all of them. Are you ready? Hit PLAY!
