4+ years in business has taught me A LOT. Some lessons came easy, and some I definitely had to learn the hard way 😂 But when I think about the kind of business owner I want to be, these are a few things I’ll always pride myself on:
Being an understanding boss
My employees are my pride and joy. They kept the shop running when I was away or didn’t have enough hands. They’ve stepped up BIG time!
Moving quick
No one likes waiting for their food or drinks at a restaurant. We move quickly and efficiently. Time is money. The longer someone has to wait, the more annoyed they get, and the more likely they are to walk away.
Always adjusting
Life throws some major curve balls and when you are working an event there is ALWAYS something that’s going to go wrong. Being able to be quick on your feet and figure out a solution is a must. Things will almost never be perfect, so just make the best out of what you have.
Owning a business definitely isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about learning, adjusting, taking care of your people and continuing to get better as you go. And after 4+ years of Chug, I’m pretty proud of how far we’ve come🥤🩵
