Challenges met are the scariest but are sometimes the most worthwhile.

The biggest lesson I learned in the bar business is to focus on revenues. Dollars, not dimes.

Challenges met are the scariest but are sometimes the most worthwhile.

I came up with this idea to create an app. And the premise of the app is this: every problem in the bar business goes away when there's sales. You increase revenue and you solve every problem. It's when the revenues are low that [the business] doesn't work. So I wanted to put together an app that focused on top-line revenue, guest experience, and business management in a more organized way.

Can I be cocky for a second? If I hit a home run 80 percent of the times, and you want to talk about the 20 times I miss swinging the bat, I’m okay with that.

I've had a best-practices reputation in this industry for a long time. I don't know anything about those other apps, because in the bar space, there really are none.

See every crack, every detail. I learned to really see and not just look at my business.
