After years of management roles within the retail and hospitality sectors, I'm really excited to launch Relish Standards.
Before I set up Relish It I had worked my way through different management roles and eventually into coaching management before I decided to go out on my own.
Almost 10 years I ran Relish It. Through extremely good times and also extremely hard times. Most of you that follow me will know this as I've told my story with honesty (maybe too much) throughout my whole journey.
I've experienced all the highs and all of the lows of running a business. I know how extremely stressful but also how extremely rewarding owning a food business can be.
The one thing I've picked up on throughout the years of networking at events, markets ect was most owners had the same issues.
It wasn't footfall and it wasn't 'bad staff' (always hated that).
More often than not, it's been system and standards that slip away when the owner has not been there.
People often ask why I don't reopen Relish It. The answer is simple: after 15 years of evenings and weekends, I want more time with my family. Being more present for my girls over the last few years has reminded me what matters most.
What I always enjoyed most, whether through Relish It or taking on new roles, was the energy that comes with a new project.
Looking back, I've realised that building systems, developing people and creating consistency was always the part of the job I enjoyed most.
Building systems, developing people and creating consistency is what I've always done. That's exactly why I've launched Relish Standards.
We look at helping with......
* Operational systems
* Service standards
* Team development
* New openings and Relaunches
* Management support
* Recruitment
Whether you're launching a new venue, relaunching an existing business, struggling with consistency or looking to elevate your standards, I'd love to have a conversation with you.
I'd like to thank the few clients I've worked with to get to the point of pursuing this as a venture and all of the great staff I've had over the years who have worked so hard for me.
I am extremely excited to get my teeth into a new project and work along side some passionate owners.
If you're a hospitality business owner who feels like everything depends on you being on-site, I'd love to have a conversation.
Much Love,
The Relish Man ❤
