Jim got his start in the hospitality industry at the ripe age of 15, when he worked in a quick service operation. While in college, Jim improved upon his hospitality skills, by learning the role of server and bar tender. With a degree in accounting, he began to take on more technical, operational, and financial roles such as a restaurant manager, controller and CFO. Eventually, Jim practiced as a CPA and advisor to independent restaurants throughout the U.S. regarding operational, financial, cost control, and profitability issues. Today, with an abundance of wisdom and experience, Jim serves as Founder and Publisher at RestaurantOwner.com. RestaurantOwner.com is an incredible resource consisting of business plan templates, operating systems & procedures, checklist, training manuals, and webinars.
Jim is joining us on this Authority Thursday to discuss the 3 characteristics of successful independent restaurant owners.
