Your food's great. Your service is solid. So why aren't your guests coming back?
In this episode, Simon sits down with Ewan Thompson of Hospitality Benchmark Solutions (HBS) to dismantle one of the most dangerous assumptions in independent restaurants: that a great first visit guarantees a second.
They get into the gritty truth of guest retention—why it's not a marketing problem, how emotional connection trumps good reviews, and why the simplest upgrades to your guest experience might be hiding six figures in unrealized revenue.

You'll walk away with tactical ideas, a better lens for your service sequence, and one question every manager should ask before checkout.
