Kara Restaurant Group

What makes someone ready to step into a leadership role in the restaurant industry? In this unfiltered episode of Restaurant Punk, we talk promotions, maturity, and the messy middle ground between being a coworker and becoming a boss.

Whether you’re an owner, manager, or rising team member, we dig into:

·       What maturity really looks like on the floor

·       How to promote without formal “managers”

·       When friendships blur the lines of leadership

·       Why some people need to fail to grow

·       And whether leadership is something you can teach—or something you're born with

From inappropriate late-night stories to hard-earned advice, it’s raw, relatable, and packed with lessons every service industry pro will recognize.
