How difficult is it to convince Owners to implement a better coherent chain of command? My observations at current role, we run off relationship with team members more than anything else. This worked when we had one operation. Now that we have multiple, more structure is needed, but I can't seem to get Owners on-board with a simple chain of command.

Your observation is absolutely correct and true for many operations around the city. Generally, it depends on the owner, but the main problem is the vision of managing the industry. It's outdated in many ways. I had a similar experience. Growing OP from 3 to 5. You need a''partner in crime'' :))

It depends on how stubborn and narcissistic the owners are. I’ve come across a lot of restaurant owners who believe they know better than anyone and won’t listen to your advice.

It seems to be that way with most things. First reaction to anything seems to be defensive, then excuses and justification. Weird that that attitude/behavior ripples through the team.

When and how do you push back on people senior to you? Fifth year dealing with supersenior associate (11th year) who completely lacks good judgment & common sense.

I offered to send myself but apparently that wouldn’t work (presumably because it would be efficient & make sense.) At what point (and how) do I Just Say No?

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
