In this hilariously insightful episode of The Late Night Restaurant Podcast, Jay, Dom, and Beck welcome guest Scott Carruthers — a former chef turned restaurant bookkeeper and coach — who takes us on a wild ride from mustard-making in London, Ontario to modern-day financial strategy for hospitality businesses.
Packed with gut-busting laughs, dad jokes, and real-talk on budgeting, waste, menu engineering, and the struggle of change in restaurants, this episode blends comedy with consulting gold. If you're in foodservice and not thinking about your break-even, you're already behind. Don’t miss this perfect mix of roasting chefs (lovingly), roasting mustard seeds (literally), and roasting financial chaos into clarity.
