In this episode of the Repertoire podcast, host Justin Khanna shares his excitement about the return of solo episodes. Khanna highlights some of the most popular stories covered in past episodes, including a Twitter thread by startup founder Nick Huber, about the reality of running a profitable restaurant. The thread features a cautionary tale about a chef turned restaurateur who failed after opening a restaurant for selfish reasons and not being prepared to handle the responsibilities of running a business. Khanna gives his take on the lesson of the story, which is that starting a successful business is not about doing what you love, but rather about doing what gives you the best odds of making great money while managing the less fun aspects of the business. The episode also includes topics such as hostility in hospitality, Oreo’s product release strategy, smart ovens, and checklist for fire spots. Get next week's newsletter in your inbox : https://www.joinrepertoire.com/newsletter Powered by 7shifts: https://www.7shifts.com/signup/?signup_coupon=JUSTINKHANNA3— Show Notes: From chef to owner - a thread by Nick Huber : https://twitter.com/sweatystartup/status/1635304028677472262?s=12&t=izTIHZ8Xxt58dnbjEDIGMQ5 Factors That Determine a Fire Spot : https://www.thesupersonic.blackbird.xyz/p/5-factors-that-determine-a-spotWhen Did Hospitality Get So Hostile? : https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/10/t-magazine/restaurants-hostile-eating-out.htmlToast Teams Up with Google to Launch a New Ordering Channel : https://pos.toasttab.com/news/toast-order-with-google-integrationOreo’s Product Release Strategy : https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/16/style/oreo-flavors.htmlAre Smart Ovens Legit? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKCB1VBypWsPodcast on "1% Diners" - https://www.youtube.com/live/jdlLRAQemyI?feature=share&t=625Fine Dining 101 (see: Justin's call out about Cirque de Soleil) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmtA39qkx4M You can read my take on other such stories, in-depth, from the past newsletters here: https://support.justinkhanna.com/  — If you come across something you ended up having to search for, send me a message to help make this Show Notes better! — 🤑 To learn more about courses, community, and coaching for hospitality creators: https://www.joinrepertoire.comJoin Repertoire Pro Community: https://www.joinrepertoire.com/pro-membership — What's next? 👇   Share the Podcast: https://geni.us/repertoirepodcast Get on my Email Newsletter: https://geni.us/AEGhGSZ Repertoire Pro Community for Industry Professionals: https://www.joinrepertoire.com/pro-membership Support the show: https://geni.us/patr for just $5 a month - join the Community! My latest upload on YouTube: https://geni.us/nFX4AaH Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-emulsion-podcast/id1225091020 Get in touch with Justin: http://geni.us/site Tweet at Justin: http://geni.us/twit Follow along on Instagram: http://geni.us/instag Sign up for one-on-one Coaching with Justin: http://geni.us/coach Browse the gear used to create this: http://geni.us/kitpage  💌Send me mail:Justin Khanna212 Broadway E #22725 Justin's Instagram: @justinkhannaFollow The Repertoire Podcast on Instagram: @joinrepertoire—What's next? 👇Share the PodcastGet Total Station DominationTake the 5-Day-Kitchen-Productivity ChallengeGet on my Email NewsletterSupport the show for $19 a month via the Repertoire Pro Community for Industry ProfessionalsMy latest upload on YouTubeRate the show on SpotifyLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet in touch with JustinTweet at JustinFollow along on InstagramSign up for one-on-one Coaching with JustinBrowse the gear used to create this💌Send me mail:Justin Khanna212 Broadway EUnit 22725Seattle, WA 98102 USA—

Born in Queens, Akshay Bhardwaj studied business at Fordham University and Baruch College, and then pivoted to his passion: cooking. His ascension in the culinary world was extraordinary; between 2012 and 2017, he worked his way from working the line to executive chef at Junoon. Junoon was awarded one Michelin Star eight consecutive years from 2011, and held the title of the only Indian restaurant in New York City with a Michelin Star from 2018-2019. He was also selected as a Gohan Society Culinary Scholar — and traveled to Japan to study the delicate art of omakase — and became the first Indian chef to be selected for the Forbes “30 under 30: Food & Drink” list. Bhardwaj showcases a menu that reflects the diversity of India, steeped in the classics while offering deft touches of modernity.In this episode, we talk about Akshay’s journey running a family business, creating an indian fine dining place and how is it different from a “fusion” restaurant, and finally Akshay shares some wisdom for young folks based on his experience."Hey chef, just wanted to ask about March 11th for time off"Still getting time off requests like that ☝️ via text? 📲Listeners of The Repertoire Podcast get 3-months free of 7shifts "The Works" plan so you can give it a try yourself.See the difference that great team management software can make in your day-to-day!https://geni.us/7shifts—Show Notes:Akshay's Site: https://www.junoonnyc.com/team-member/akshay-bhardwaj/Akshay's Social Handle: https://www.instagram.com/akshaycooks/?hl=enJunoon's Website: https://www.junoonnyc.com/Junoon's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/junoonnyc/?hl=en 7shifts: https://geni.us/7shiftsAdin Langille: https://www.instagram.com/adin_langille/?hl=en Noma's News: https://repertoire.simplecast.com/episodes/nomas-news-the-menu-and-ai-eating-food-ray-delucci-ep-160Forbes 30under30: https://www.forbes.com/profile/akshay-bhardwaj/?sh=6bb47c105ebaCHEF MATT X CHEF BYRON| Junoon: https://www.junoonnyc.com/menu/valentines-day-2023-copy/Matt Broussard: https://www.instagram.com/acooknamedmatt/?hl=enByron Gomez: https://www.chefbyrongomez.com/ Setting The Table by Danny Meyer: https://geni.us/settingthetable If you come across something you ended up having to search for, send me a message to help make this Show Notes better! — 🤑 To learn more about courses, community, and coaching for hospitality creators: https://www.joinrepertoire.com Join Repertoire Pro Community: https://www.joinrepertoire.com/pro-membership — What's next? 👇 Share the Podcast: https://geni.us/repertoirepodcast Get on my Email Newsletter: https://geni.us/AEGhGSZ Repertoire Pro Community for Industry Professionals: https://www.joinrepertoire.com/pro-membership Support the show: https://geni.us/patr for just $5 a month - join the Community! My latest upload on YouTube: https://geni.us/nFX4AaH Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-emulsion-podcast/id1225091020 Get in touch with Justin: http://geni.us/site Tweet at Justin: http://geni.us/twit Follow along on Instagram: http://geni.us/instag Sign up for one-on-one Coaching with Justin: http://geni.us/coach Browse the gear used to create this: http://geni.us/kitpage 💌Send me mail:Justin Khanna212 Broadway E #22725 Justin's Instagram: @justinkhannaFollow The Repertoire Podcast on Instagram: @joinrepertoire—What's next? 👇Share the PodcastGet Total Station DominationTake the 5-Day-Kitchen-Productivity ChallengeGet on my Email NewsletterSupport the show for $19 a month via the Repertoire Pro Community for Industry ProfessionalsMy latest upload on YouTubeRate the show on SpotifyLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet in touch with JustinTweet at JustinFollow along on InstagramSign up for one-on-one Coaching with JustinBrowse the gear used to create this💌Send me mail:Justin Khanna212 Broadway EUnit 22725Seattle, WA 98102 USA—
