Just watched the second video. I have to say that I agree with Benji's advice on choosing the right resaurant if you want to book higher-end corporate gigs. Unfortunately, its sort of a "duh", definitely not breakthrough advice by any means. I have been battling with this truth for a few years now...
I currently work 2 franchise "family" restaurants and one privately owned, "upper scale" restaurant and hands down the better tips and outside gigs come from the the latter. BUT, in this economy if a restaurant is paying your rate it is very hard to just walk away. Their money is still green like everyone else's. Also, if you have already "proven" yourself and become a staple there the thought of starting over again at a new spot just sounds like a lot of work and you don't want to burn your bridge with the place that pays you week in and week out. But yes, looking at the bigger picture you might be wise to hold out for something better. If I was out looking I would put all my efforts into booking a higher end place if that was the type of clientele I wanted. It is all a similar process no matter what type of restaurant you're going after so you might as well make it count. |

I can go back and find posts years old that will tell you that the type of pirvate work you book depends on the type of place you book it from. Yea it is sort of DUH.

In fact, I think it was you, me, and a handful of other guys a few years back talking about this on the table hoppers forum if I'm not mistaken... To be fair, Benji is not claiming the information as "his". But it is stuff we have heard before and will probably hear again! LOL |

Yes it was us indeed that is the discussion I was talking about. Or at least one of them.

Right or wrong, good or bad advice, thanks Benji for your efforts. I don't necessarily agree with your tactics, but I do enjoy listening to your ideas and appreciate your willingness to share what you have learned. Keep it up. |
