What can your favourite restaurant teach you about “Sales execution problems”?
One of my favourite restaurants in Hong Kong is Aziza.
It’s small (12 covers), family-run, serving delicious Egyptian food. They do more than 1 thing on their menu, and off their menu, really, really well. Consistently. Their service is 5-star – not by top Michelin standards, but by my own, and by those of the dozen others who patronise it nightly, almost religiously. And there’s always a line waiting to get in, but who actually get turned away. Yup, turns out the owner doesn’t think it’s cool to pressure existing diners or to make people stand in line waiting hungrily.
