Kasey Anton is (where do I start?) a restaurateur, financial whiz, coach, podcaster, and author of Profit First for Restaurants. In her own words, "People don’t open restaurants because they just want to start a business. People open restaurants because they are building a dream.

You can create the restaurant of your dreams, be profitable, pay your vendors, your staff, yourself, and savor the joys of hospitality, without the stress and uncertainty."

Would-be successful restaurant owners: avoid this episode at your own peril!
