Fixing Restaurants, Behavioural Science, Working With Marco Pierre White - Eat Club co-founder, Pan Koutlakis
Episode description
How do we ACTUALLY save restaurants from closing?
The UK government aren’t gonna save hospitality… but Marco Pierre White and Pan Koutlakis think they have the answer with Eat Club.
Restaurants.
It’s easier than you think to save your restaurants.
Are you going to be your neighbor?
What’s FUCKING MENTAL is most punters don’t even know.
This cataclysmic earthquake is brewing in the background.
Behind the warm hug of hospitality hides the cold bite of fear.
You revel in merriment, operators reel in morbid fear.
Fear of closure. Fear of NI increase. Fear.
In the dining room, your giggling gaggle laughs over languid luncheon.
In the back room, the howling fantods scream up operators’ bones.
Think of your favourite restaurant for one second… do you realise how scary it is right now?
