“You don’t have to be a cook to win a Michelin Star” - Riccardo Giraudi - Beefbar

Show notes

From Doubt to Drive. Entrepreneurs Only.

This week with Riccardo Giraudi, Founder & CEO of Beefbar (https://beefbar.com/), a luxury steakhouse concept with 30 locations around the world. Riccardo AKA “the beefboy” also runs the Family Business https://www.giraudi-meats.com/ and https://www.riccardogiraudi.com/

We already interviewed Riccardo in 2019 with our other show “Teddy talks with” – travel back and see some fantastic views from the Beefbar in Paris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZucDIS8JfEc

In this episode, Riccardo Giraudi talks about how ironic it is to receive a Michelin Star if you cannot cook and how you convert a good restaurant into a great brand. He talks about why the best beef is the one which is most consistent and how he understood what was missing in the market and how Beefbar was able to fill that “life-style-gap”

Our main learnings from this conversations are:

1. Believe in yourself
2. Try not make the same mistakes again
3. Be honest about your product.
4. Don’t force it. Success doesn’t happen overnight
5. You don’t need money. You need the right ideas.
6. Use any crises to reflect: in the eye of the hurricane, you cannot control it anyway
7. Location, Location, Location
8. Learn from other industries, learn their codes and apply them
9. You don’t have to be a cook to win a Michelin Star.
