In this episode with Chef Shawn Quade and Veronica Fil, we discuss:
- The role delegation plays in expanding your business.
- How delegation and giving people equity in the business increases drive, moral, and overall energy of the team.
- What Veronica and Chef Quade find appealing about the Los Angelos market.
- Doing only what you are best at, and surrounding yourself with a team of people who are better at all the other things.
- How surrounding yourself with great people doesn't just happen; it takes constant, gentle pressure.
- When opening a second location, getting the first location to the point where it doesn't need you to operate efficiently.
- The goal being to make yourself redundant on a day to day basis.
- Sharing the spotlight with your team.
- How awards and other accolades are becoming a bunch of shit and how they have more to do with advertising and marketing than anything else.

- The benefits of pre-ticketed dining.
- Having definite strategies and goals put in place.
- Looking at what everyone else is doing, then do the opposite.
