About this Content
If one builds a restaurant company where all members of the team have an equal chance to climb the corporate ladder, get promoted, and make more money, then the end result will most likely be that people from every walk of life will want to work for that restaurant company, and they will go above and beyond the call of duty to Stretch.
It is this innate individual desire to stretch, to exceed all expectations, to strive for excellence that will lead any restaurant team to achieve more sales, better cost controls, higher profits, and faster growth – and it all starts with creating an environment for the employees in which they want to achieve.
Here, we will teach them how to get promoted in restaurants -- and that starts with having the ability and desire to Stretch Yourself.

About this content
Let’s be clear, if you are in the restaurant business long enough, you probably won’t be able to completely “avoid” lawsuits and insurance claims, but by understanding the inner workings of them, you can certainly reduce them dramatically.
As America’s most visible Restaurant Expert Witness firm, we see all kinds of restaurant lawsuits and restaurant insurance claims costing restaurants a fortune each and every year - there is no denying that.
The truly astronomical number of dollars being expended on resolving these matters is flushing hard-earned restaurant profits down the drain and causing restaurant operators to lose focus and productivity at the unit, multi-unit, support, and executive levels.
Quite frankly, when operators should be serving customers, motivating employees, driving sales, and pocketing profits, they are instead finding themselves buried in stacks of legal documents, fighting some sort of never-ending litigation, and trying to make it through the day without losing their shirt.
This seminar is not your everyday risk management class by any means. This intense Signature, one-of-a-kind seminar will cut to the crux of the matter and focus on why these lawsuits and outrageous number of claims continue to happen; and, more importantly, what needs to be done at the unit, multi-unit, support, and executive levels to reduce the number of claims and mitigate the amount of damage as effectively and efficiently as possible – saving time and money.
Since 1987, we have helped clients of all types and sizes in markets across the country and around the world, including many of America's largest restaurant brands, as well as hundreds of independents. Attorneys, Insurance Companies, Judges, and Juries respect our industry expertise and recognize our famous restaurant books found in bookstores across America and in 76 countries around the globe. We have provided unbiased opinions, reports, testimony, and consultation for both Plaintiffs and Defendants regarding a wide variety of matters specifically pertaining to restaurant matters, in State and Federal cases.
Let’s face it, the restaurant industry is under attack. The difference between making a profit and losing your shorts could easily come down to how much time, money, and effort is wasted on lawsuits and insurance claims.
For many years, we have been providing our unique and memorable speeches and seminars covering a wide variety of restaurant-based subject matter to audiences of all types and sizes in markets across the country and around the world.
• We have been called upon by large restaurant chains with famous restaurant brands to deliver unforgettable speeches at their annual meetings and franchise conventions.

• We have been called upon by lawyers, insurance companies, C-level executives, and community leaders to assist them and their groups in understanding how restaurants truly impact us all.
And, because we are so used to being called upon regarding restaurants, we are able to customize our popular speeches and seminars to:

• Meet Your Time Requirements
• Suit Your Target Audience; and,
• Fit Within Your Budget
