FULL COMP: Restaurant Tactics, Tools, & Strategies

What if the smartest way to grow in a market full of closures is to keep every restaurant small?

Adam Weisblatt co-founded Last Word Hospitality and turned Found Oyster, a 777-square-foot oyster bar, into a seven-restaurant group that keeps expanding while famous names around it close.

In this conversation, we get into why a tiny footprint takes the pressure off your rent and your margins, why he builds every concept around talented people instead of clever ideas, and why making your operators owners is the only way to grow without burning out.

If you're convinced you need a bigger room to make real money, this one will change how you think about scale.

That's Adam Weisblatt. To pre-order his upcoming book, For the Love of Restaurants, visit https://a.co/d/0cGZmQ5t.
