IN this episode of #theroundup our guest Bryan Lee Weaver (Butcher and Bee, Redheaded Stranger) announces his new location, Fancy Pants! We also have a healthy discussion around Tipping. The nation is feeling a strong feeling of Tip Fatigue, with seemingly every business now spinning around a tablet and asking you to "answer a few questions". Today we discuss where you should tip, why you should tip, and should tipping even be a thing? Caroline says no, and has changed her model at her restaurant. We also play a game called, "should you tip?" Where we discuss several places that ask for tips, and some that don't, but maybe should. We talk about tip pooling, and service changes, as well as The Bear on Hulu. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brandon-styll/message

Jon Murray (Owner/ Founder) and Wilson Brannock (Managing Partner) of Noko drop by the studio to talk about their Wildy successful wood fired Asian Restaurant. Drawing on their experience with Indigo Road, both Jon and Wilson are veterans in this business, so they created a restaurant where as much love is given to their staff as is the guest. With insurance, vacation pay, and even a vacation stipend, they are serious about mental health, and with free gym memberships, they are serious about physical health too! Jon talks about how his experience dropping the bottle, had led him to a much fuller, and thoughtful experience Operating a restaurant. Wilson is such a down to earth guy, he talks about how much gratitude he has for the industry, his guests, and his team.
