Owned and managed a restaurant located in Stone Mountain, GA. Skip’s Roadhouse was a very popular night spot located next the Plitt Theater on Memorial Dr. in Dekalb county. Owning and operating your own business teaches that profit is a residual and only results are rewarded. Restaurants are about process and process control. Everything has a proper procedure and following up to ensure procedure is followed is extremely important. The biggest take-a-way however was the experience of managing and motivating a team. In the restaurant business, your staff is everything – they make or break the experience. Training, motivating, and employee retention is paramount.
