My Buzz
Theo Paphitis is a great name to have attached to any business and Restaurant Zest is no different. Twitter interaction and local papers have covered the story offering us free publicity, added to that would be the increase of followers & well wishers on Twitter.

Tucked away in a beautiful, converted former stables building, the dining room is smart but relaxed and the atmosphere is fresh and welcoming. Great food and wine but without the pretence…
My Business Tips
Leadership is essential in restaurants, you can manage your team but if you really want results empower them by leading and inspiring them. Give the team access to the finances, the comments, the entire business and have them help you grow from within. At first this may seem hard to implement but the staff will respond by owning the product and by getting you fantastic results. Changing a job to a career is so simple but so very effective.
