Growing up moment: I have to thank my first boss at Red Robin – yes, Red Robin Burgers! I was a hostess and apparently terrible. My boss called me into her office one day and said, “You aren’t doing a great job, you don’t know table numbers, you slam waiters with too many seatings at once and you are too nervous to take the lead. You need to get your act together or…” I think the problem was I thought the job was beneath me so I did it poorly. But after that talk, I got my act together and became the best hostess they ever had! Never think a job is beneath you. Do the best at everything you do. Funniest staging moment: In our early days Erin and I did most of the moving ourselves. Although it built character (and the business) it was not something we broadcasted. One day a client showed up when we were moving out of their small bungalow and they asked where our movers were. I said they weren’t feeling well but we needed to get the job done! We laughed the rest of the day!
