In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Erin Wade, founder of Homeroom, an Oakland-based mac ’n’ cheese concept with three locations. Erin released a book called “The Mac & Cheese Millionaire: Building a Better Business by Thinking Outside the Box,” which details her journey going from lawyer to restaurant entrepreneur and how she and her team achieved a more collaborative and meaningful work environment. She joined the podcast to talk about the book and a color-coded system that has helped protect her employees from harassment.
In this conversation, you’ll find out why:
- Great experiences don’t cost more to create, they just require caring more
- A better working environment leads to better restaurant performance
- Harassment from your customers may be a bigger problem than you think
- You owe it to your employees to protect them from harassment and abuse
- If you want to build a strong culture, start with trust
