Whoa! Lot's going on and have been sucked into the world of social media besides trying to stay afloat in an economy that has been in the drivers seat. Well, luckily for us we are still running on high octane race fuel and strong hp's and have executed all of our pit stops without a hitch.
Life has become more complicated yet nevertheless fascinating and has really been more so of a teacher for myself and crew in the past year in a half rather than a negative downer. Our team has gone through positive changes with some members moving on and others redefining their skill set. We have added more meat and talent to our menu with a few really talented chefs so change is not only exciting but necessary.
I'm engaged and working diligently on the promotion of all of our outlets to gain better market share and connection with our guests. I don't believe this should all be dumped on P.R. to do and encourage Chefs to be the driving force in promotion, connection and the overall voice of the department. I have been involved with our new Kai Facebook page, Sheraton Resort page, Twitter and voice of trying to expand our world by creative efforts in marketing and reaching out. Back "in the day" we, as a country got lazy while other countries kept their foot on the gas and we applauded guys like Madoff. I'm feeling the pressure while looking into the rear view mirror but for me it's more about winning the race as a team than a little close contact.
Shit happens and it was unloaded on us with fury and without bias so the toilet is now filled up and no one knows how to flush it!
I personally believe that our current economic challenges are truly making us stronger as a unit and is setting us up for the next great chapter not only in our professional lives but personal as well. Life is not supposed to be a cake walk or stagnant otherwise we tend to stay dormant and in our comfort zone.
When we're living in our comfort zone we're not growing. I'll do my best to keep the vibe alive...
