Running a family restaurant business is one of the hardest things you can do. Most fail within the first generation. The ones that survive? They have pillars, not just plans. In this episode of Life Currency, I break down the three pillars that built F&P Group: leadership, capability, and non-negotiables. We talk about business succession, why most second-generation operators fail, family business dynamics that destroy relationships, and how to structure an operation that actually lasts.
