    Love the Reputation management review episode
    While searching for a restaurant podcast to help me promote my reputation management solution, I came across Restaurant Strategy. I love that it is short, concise, and insightful. I look forward to listening to many more episodes.

    Straight to the point and always useful
  • DozaBeam
    Relatable and realistic
    Chip’s podcast is a great listen to help spur progress in your restaurant. He has lots of relatable advice and is realistic with what restaurant life is like. The systems and tools he talks about create a culture of ownership where I don’t work in my business like I used to and now work ON it. The interviews with other restauranteurs and tech companies are thought provoking. Great listen and great ideas!

    If you own a restaurant this podcast is a must!!
    I am a second generation restaurateur and have really appreciated all the information that Chip provides. Very tactical stuff that’s easy to digest and put in motion in your restaurant. I’ve subscribed to a lot of the software he recommends for our tech stack and am very happy with the results. Crazy how this podcast has opened my eyes and helped me with controlling my prime costs. I used to think a 4% net was acceptable but now I don’t settle for anything under 15% NET PROFIT! Thanks Chip!!

    Every restaurant must listen to this podcast
    This podcast, if you listen consistently, will change the way you run your restaurant. You’ll be GIVEN tasks in each episode that most people pay for in a restaurant consultant. Chip knows his stuff. Not only do I know from being a listener, but I am a P3 Mastermind member and I’m here to tell you if you’re on the fence, get off that thing and turn your life and business around. Chip simplifies restaurant math and marketing so that anyone can run a profitable restaurant and come up with real strategies and tactics to achieve goals. Stop thinking and do it! I’m only trying to help my fellow industry folks.

He is realistic in his approach and totally understands all sides of the equation, Owner, Front of House, Back of House

    The Jason E Brooks episode was transformative! I am new to restaurant work… This was inspiring to me as an older person who is starting out in a new genre… But it was life-inspiring as well! I can’t wait to buy the book. And Chip?? I love listening to every episode. Thank you!
  • DavidSienema
    Thank you!
    I have gotten so much value from your podcast, and then even more value from your book. I’m very grateful for what you do. Thank you!
  • Chandra Gouldrup
    Real value!
    Can’t recommend this podcast enough I have learned more from these short podcasts than I did with a 6 month restaurant consulting firm previously and the podcasts are free. I have my whole management team listening to them now and we discuss topics at our weekly meetings. Just joined the P3 mastermind marketing session and can’t wait to learn more!
  • AFBBQ
    Valuable time spent

  • nahpham
    He showed, I seen
    My team and I use this podcast to actively build our restaurant with advice and perspective we were desperately seeking. Every episode has a gem we can apply to our business daily. Interviews and success stories inspire and motivate. Listen and you’ll see. Thanks Chip 🤝🏽
  • BigCommerce retailer

    Chip Klose constantly has his fingers on the pulse of the industry. He’s smart, seasoned and filled with actionable ideas and constantly learning. He’s a true entrepreneur in the hospitality industry
  • Valentin HL
    Knowledge is power
    It is amazing how much you will learn from Chips episodes. Other podcasts are more focused on interviewing others and skimming over what it takes to actually operate a successful & profitable restaurant, but Chip really digs deep and serves us solutions.
  • PhilDade
    A gift from the restaurant gods!
    As a struggling operator of 5 restaurants, I was referred to Chip, his podcast, and his p3 mastermind. In the 2 short months we have been in the program, we have made more meaningful changes to our bottom line than my partners and I have been able to do alone in the last 2 years! I could not more highly recommend! This podcast is LOFE CHANGING!

    The Real Deal
    A lot of people claim they have the answers. Chip really does. This podcast has been life-changing for me.
  • LaLaLady34
    A must listen
    Every restaurant owner, at any phase of running their business, will benefit tremendously from this podcast. The info is easy to digest and easy to action. Chip is the real deal.
  • apersoniknow
    Excellent for Restaurant Owners
    This podcast has been a super valuable resource for restaurant owners and Chip really knows his stuff. Incredible content.
  • No.06235688631
    This show is anti server
    Kiosk ordering will be the end of restaurants. You do not go out to eat and have to order on your phone like an Applebees. Servers keep the restaurant industry alive. He claims that 80% of restaurants could benefit from losing servers. Serves are the lifeblood of restaurants. We make sure the customers come back and we work hard to make the restaurant industry successful. I have never been so enraged listening to a podcast.
  • Ed C C
    Worth Its Weight In Gold
    I love how every episode has some tactical information that any business owner can take action on immediately. Every episode is clear, concise and compelling. I’ve owned restaurants for almost 15 years, and I still learn something new every time I listen to an episode!
  • RobJDay
    Invaluable Restaurant Marketing Conversation
    I was turned onto this podcast by an associate. I come to it as an expert in marketing who’s looking to improve my ability to effectively market a restaurant as a business unit of the brewery I work for. It’s a pretty niche angle and I hadn’t seen anything like this before and so glad I found it. I find Chip’s foundational marketing to be very aligned with my own - zig ziglar, Seth Godin, brand principles etc. and from that foundation he derives interesting insights and actionable strategy. Many podcasts talk about the issues, but Chip spends time on the solutions and that makes all the difference.
  • this is a stupid step
    Great & Informative Podcast
    I listen to this podcast weekly and always learn so much and gain new insights into the restaurant industry.

    So much to learn
    I have been listening to Chip’s podcast for over a year. I have found each and every show at least enlightening and a learning experience. The balanced and straightforward structure and delivery is earnest and I appreciate that
  • Lina Belll
    I wish I listened to this earlier
    Awesome podcast, thanks for sharing such actionable strategies! And also for walking us thought “systems” how to approach marketing (e.g. create your own marketing plan), rather than independent tips in a vacuum that are not part of a “bigger picture” game plan.
  • CaliComfort
    A great hospitality development resource!
    Chip does a great job bringing up relevant topics every week. I have listened to many restaurants podcasts in the past and this has quickly become one of my new favorites. Keep up the great work!
  • DodgyFinger

    Great insight that is applicable from day 1.
  • theolship
    Always insightful
    Chip’s experience in the industry and his curiosity about the ever-evolving world of marketing combine to create a unique and insightful listening experience. Can’t recommend highly enough!

    Drinking the knowledge
    I’ve been listening to as many restaurant pods, as I’m opening a Mexican concept in Portugal, and found this trove of solid advice. Thank you for sharing. It’s helping.
  • berk balgic
    A podcast that can change your life forever.
    This gentleman is the Davinci of restaurant marketing. He is an artist as much as he is a businessman. Thats what I love the most about his podcasts. They are amazing, very to the point and very helpful. His illustrations will help you understund the topic better and he always gives real life examples of marketing strategies
  • Chito999
    Just Found
    Just listened to my first podcast. Will definitely be tuning in for more. Thank you sir!
  • ...,.o,.
    Fantastic perspective on restaurants and marketing!!!
    Chip Klose does a terrific job of covering a range of marketing and strategy challenges with an awareness of the characteristics of the restaurant environment. There are few categories in which consumers make a “product” selection with the frequency with which we tackle the daily question of “what shall we do for dinner,” and that - along with the reality that it is a category in which many of us want ongoing variety and discovery, rather than loyalty - lays out marketing opportunities and expectations that are unique to this business. Skillful as both a commentator and interviewer, Chip covers a range of both the evergreen (Positioning) and timely (COVID) topics that will benefit anyone with an interest in this fascinating industry.
  • jlhilt
    Best yet
    I’ve listened to many different restaurant podcasts but Chip presents everything is such a well organized manner, offering great advise, homework and wonderful references all in 20 or so minutes. Can’t wait to continue listening and learning!
  • Corky9er
    Best resource yet!
    During this last year, I have been searching for answers about how to deal with Covid and all the changes restaurants have been facing. I spent a lot of time listening to big name consultants like Jon Taffer and Donald Burns. I didn’t find what I was looking for with them. I didn’t find that here either. What I DID find is a very concise and easy to follow guide to building my brand, connecting with my customers, managing my people, recruiting and retaining talent, and planning for the future. Chip also recommends books and other podcasts that are amazingly helpful as well. My brain is so very happy with everything I have been filling it with this summer. Thanks, Chip!
