About this listen

Why is it so hard to train Gen Z in restaurants? Why do so many restaurant owners, managers, and leaders feel like Gen Z employees don’t care, won’t commit, and walk out at the first sign of accountability?

Well, in this powerful podcast I explain exactly why training Gen Z feels broken, what’s actually happening beneath the surface, and how you can systematize your training, hiring, and accountability so Gen Z gets bought in, stays longer, and performs at a higher level.

The truth is… training Gen Z is absolutely possible.
High-performing hospitality groups do it every single day.
Brands like Chick-fil-A are living proof that Gen Z can thrive inside structured, mission-driven environments with high standards and clear expectations.

So that's why, I cover:

✔️ Why Gen Z isn’t motivated by money the same way previous generations were
✔️ The real reason Gen Z quits (and it’s not accountability)
✔️ How purpose, mission, and structure drive Gen Z performance in ways you didn't realize
✔️ The 3-phase system to train Gen Z successfully
✔️ How to create consistency and accountability without losing people

I walk through my Expectation Phase, Commitment Phase, and Reinforcement Phase so you can build a repeatable system that creates clarity, buy-in, and execution.

If you’re tired of constantly rehiring…
If your training feels inconsistent…
If your standards aren’t sticking…

This podcast will give you a framework to fix it.

Your job as a leader isn’t to complain about Gen Z.
Your job is to build an environment where Gen Z can win.
