Simple Restaurant Networking
Easy example of value arbitrage;
In Immersion , Ashkan outlined the best ways to network with General Managers of restaurants
@Richard Lopez and I went out recently to a restaurant to celebrate myself being done with 75 hard. The place I chose has the best fries I’ve ever had in Boston so we went there (Gather Boston) then to Mastros in Seaport after to have the buttercake which @Michael Sartain raves about in Vegas
We both came in well dressed in Skinny jeans + waffle shirts. Immediately chatted up the only bartender that was working and immediately started qualifying him
He’s 26, and used to be a teacher. The game was on and me and Rich are just straight qualifying the dude
We told him we had come here for the fries and every time we were complimenting the food every bite that we ate and asking him for his recommendations
I also explained to him that I was celebrating being done w 75 hard and wanted to have a large enjoyable meal. He got me a corona and made rich a killer old fashioned
We’re shooting the shit about the game going on, and when we’re wrapping up, I ask if the manager is around
He said yeah and I said I wanted to tell him how good the fries are
While we’re closing out and still enjoying ourselves, the GM comes out and our bartender tells him we wanted to talk to him. He looked slightly concerned as I could tell he was thinking “is something wrong with the food that they want to complain about?” But the second me and rich started raving about the fries, food, and hyping up his bartender Will, his eyes lit up and he started engaging with us. We showed him Both our instagrams and had him follow us on his.
Rich and I split the check and each tipped 40%. Bartender was super happy and put a few things on the house and the manager said any drinks we wanted after were on him
Now anytime we go into that restaurant, we know the manager and know we will be taken care of
Simple gestures go a long way
