Ray Oldenburg's "The Great Good Place" introduces the concept of the "third place," a social environment separate from the two usual environments of home (the "first place") and work (the "second place"). Here's how to make your brewery a 3rd Place https://lnkd.in/eZTgC4Td

As the son of a restaurateur, one of my first memories was walking through a maze of busy legs, the clattering of pans and a haze of steam rising into the beautiful chaos of the kitchen. That camaraderie, that sacred rhythm of the service imprinted itself on me forever, teaching me to value the enormous commitment it takes to run a restaurant—an effort only matched by the passion to serve, to create moments of joy for others. At Square, we know we can’t stop the chaos, but we’ll help you contain it, so you can focus on the craft of bringing people together. #square #poweryourbusiness #restaurants

The pastries were fabulous. The chicken was not. I was in Lisbon last week, scouting the venue for our 2025 client Summit. It's fun. There's no denying that. But it's not a vacation. The whole point of "going first" is to get the raw experience. To learn - first hand - what's good and what's not. It's a heck of a lot easier to envision what your clients will experience when you've actually HAD the experience. I also find - particularly when your focus is on creating an exceptional 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 - you have to actually FEEL it. It can't be described. Photos and videos only get you so far. Case in point: Pastéis de Belém is 100% worth the trip out of town & the line. The (shall remain nameless) Fado restaurant with great ratings? 100% not. Still fine tuning, still exploring a couple options. But boots on the ground goes a looooong way to building confidence that we're on track for an exceptional experience. It's been a number of years since I've put this level of attention into our annual event this far in advance. I'm excited. ------ 👋 Hi! I'm Chris. When not eating pastries, I help leadership consultants & trainers prove the impact of their client work. Links in bio.

I remember my parents watching 'Cheers' and wondered what the allure was? After all, it was "just a bar". Little did I know, karma would one day have me involved in the restaurant, bar and now brewery industry. It's a tough industry with micro thin margins but we do it for the love of it. We do it for the community it creates. Dare I say, we do it because raising a pint and say "Cheers" is one of those comforting moments where we aren't alone. The Bull and Bush has stood the test of time. Evolving as we've grown-up from English pub to an award winning brewery. We haven't lost our roots, rather we've doubled down on them. I fondly remember when we were looking to expand, we all wrote on a piece a paper what we wanted. While the words were slightly different, the sentiment was the same: Leave a Legacy for Next Generation. That has guided everything we've done. From the scratch made kitchen where everything is made fresh including sauces and dressings, to the ingredients we use in the beer, to the marketing/promotions we run, to even how we navigated the pandemic, everything is about the next generation. Why do I share this story? In every business you MUST find your North Star. Strategies are yes grounded in data (anyone who knows me knows I'm a data geek). But, they are executed through people. As we say at the Bull and Bush: "Service is a financial transaction. Hospitality is an emotional transaction" As you think about your business strategy, what is guiding you? How do you set up a strategy that can transcend the generations and leave a legacy? #Manbeer, #BullandBush, #strategy, David Peterson https://lnkd.in/gud9YtWr
